WARNING:

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to

follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock,

fire and/or serious personal injury.

CAUTION:

Use of controls or adjustments or perfor mance of pro-

cedures other than those specified herein may result in

hazardous radiation exposure.



The laser guide radiation used in the thermometer is

Class II with < 1mW and 630-670nm wavelengths.



Avoid direct eye exposure when using the laser and do

not project the laser beam directly into the eyes of oth-

ers. Serious eye injury could result.



Do not remove or deface any prod uct labels. Removing

product labels increases the risk of exposure to laser radia-

tion.



Do not place the instrument in a position that may cause

anyone to stare into the laser beam intentionally or

unintention ally. Serious eye injury could result.



Do not operate the thermometer around children or

allow children to operate the tool. Serious eye injury could

result.



Do not use for medical evaluations or to measure body
temperature. This product is meant for household use only.



Do not use this product as a precision thermometer.



Do not operate the instrument in com bustible areas

such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gasses,

or dust.



Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a surface

without reflective proper ties. Shiny reflective materials

are not suitable for laser use.



IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS



Use the product in accordance with these instructions

and in the manner intended for the product, taking into

account the working conditions and the work to be

performed. Use of the product for operations different from

those intended could result in a hazardous situation.



Recharge battery only with the charger specified by

the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type

of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with

another battery pack.



Use battery products only with specifically designated

battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create

a risk of injury and fire.



When servicing a battery product, use only identical

replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance

section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure

to follow Maintenance instructions may create a risk of shock

or injury.



Know your battery product. Read operator’s manual

carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well

as the specific potential hazards related to this power

tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock,

fire, or serious injury.



Do not place battery products or their batteries near fire

or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and possibly

injury.



Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not

use a battery pack or charger that has been dropped

or received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject

to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged

battery immediately.



Batteries can explode in the presence of a source

of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of

serious personal injury, never use any cordless product

in the presence of open flame. An exploded battery can

propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water

immediately.



Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet location.

Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.



For best results, your battery tool should be charged in

a location where the temperature is more than 50°F but

less than 94°F. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,

do not store outside or in vehicles.



Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery

leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact with your

skin, wash immediately with soap and water. If liquid

gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water for at

least 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical attention.

Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal

injury.



Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use

them to instruct others who may use this product. If you

loan someone this instrument, loan them these instructions

also.
