Safety rules for laser lights  
General safety instructions  
The laser light/laser radiation used in the GMC Redeye®  
system is Class 2 with maximum 1mW and 650nm  
wavelengths. These lasers do not normally present an  
optical hazard, although staring at the beam may cause  
flash blindness.  
To use this tool properly, you must observe the safety  
regulations, the assembly instructions and the operating  
instructions to be found in this Manual. All persons who use and  
service the machine have to be acquainted with this Manual  
and must be informed about its potential hazards. Children  
and infirm people must not use this tool. Children should be  
supervised at all times if they are in the area in which the tool is  
being used. It is also imperative that you observe the accident  
prevention regulations in force in your area. The same applies  
for general rules of occupational health and safety.  
WARNING. Do not stare directly at the laser beam.  
A hazard may exist if you deliberately stare into the beam,  
please observe all safety rules as follows;  
The laser shall be used and maintained in accordance  
with the manufacturer’s instructions.  
WARNING. When using power tools, basic safety precautions  
should always be taken to reduce the risk of fire, electric  
shock and personal injury. Also, please read and heed the  
advice given in the additional important safety instructions.  
Even when the tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to  
eliminate all residual risk factors. The following hazards may  
arise in connection with the tool’s construction and design:  
Never aim the beam at any person or an object other  
than the workpiece.  
The laser beam shall not be deliberately aimed at  
personnel and shall be prevented from being directed  
towards the eye of a person for longer than 0.25s.  
Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a sturdy  
workpiece without reflective surfaces. I.e. wood or rough  
coated surfaces are acceptable. Bright shiny reflective sheet  
steel or the like is not suitable for laser use as the reflective  
surface could direct the beam back at the operator.  
Contact with the blade.  
Kickback of workpiece and parts of workpiece.  
Blade fracture.  
Catapulting of blade pieces.

come to rest.  
Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and other fixings  
are properly tightened.  
Do not store materials or equipment above a machine  
in such a way that they could fall into it.  
When cutting long pieces which extend well over the table  
width, ensure that the ends are adequately supported at  
the same height as the saw table top. Supports should  
be positioned in such a way to ensure that the workpiece  
does not fall to the ground once the cut has been made.  
A number of supports at regular intervals may be required  
if the workpiece is extremely long.  
Always hold the saw on parts that are insulated. If you  
accidentally cut into hidden wiring or the saw’s own cable,  
the metal parts of the saw will become “live”. Switch off at  
the mains and remove the plug immediately.  
Never saw near combustible liquids or gases.  
Wear goggles  
Note the direction of rotation of the motor and the blade.  
Wear earmuffs  
Do not lock the movable guard in the open position and  
always ensure that it is working properly, freely rotating  
and returning to fully cover the teeth of the blade.

Tighten the bevel lock (12).  
Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a sturdy  
workpiece without reflective surfaces. Wood or rough coated  
surfaces are acceptable. Bright shiny reflective surfaces  
are not suitable for laser use as the reflective surface could  
direct the beam back at the operator.  
6. Place the workpiece flat on the table with one edge  
securely against the fence (19). If the board is warped,  
place the convex side against the fence. If the concave  
side is placed against the fence, the board could break

2 seconds), lower the blade through the workpiece.  
8. After completing the cut, switch off the laser light  
on/off switch (2).  
9. After each use, clean the laser light assembly (1)  
as described below:  
Switch off the laser light switch (2) and then remove  
the plug from the power point.
