WARNING: Hazardous Radiation. Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified
herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
• Do not operate the laser in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Use the laser only with the specifically designated batteries. Use of any other batteries may create a risk of fire.
• Store idle laser out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Lasers are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one
laser, may create a risk of injury when used on another laser.
• Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel may result in injury. To locate your nearest DeWALT service center call 1–800–4-DeWALT (1–800–433–9258) or go to

• Do not place the laser in a position which may cause anyone to intentionally or unintentionally stare into the laser
beam. Serious eye injury could result.

injury could result.
• Do not operate the laser around children or allow children to operate the laser. Serious eye injury may result.
