General Safety Rules For Battery Operated Tools
WARNING! Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
WORK AREA SAFETY
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools 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.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Use battery operated tool only with the specifically designed batteries. Use of any
other batteries may create a risk of fire.
Battery
This tool is powered by four 1.5V AA size batteries.
To install batteries:
1. Lift up the battery compartment cover (A) as shown in Figure 2.
2. Insert four fresh AA batteries in the compartment, placing the batteries according to (+) and
(–) on the inside of the battery door.
WARNING: Batteries can explode, or leak, and can cause injury or fire. To reduce
this risk:
• Carefully follow all instructions and warnings on the battery label and package.
• Always insert batteries correctly with regard to polarity (+ and –), marked on the battery and
the equipment.
• Do not short battery terminals.
• Do not charge batteries.
• Do not mix old and new batteries. Replace all of them at the same time with new batteries of
the same brand and type.
• Remove dead batteries immediately and dispose of per local codes.
• Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
• Keep batteries out of reach of children.
• Remove batteries if the device will not be used for several months.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result
in a hazardous situation.
SERVICE

Operating Tips
• Use only new, high-quality, name brand batteries for best results.
• Ensure batteries are in good working condition. If the low battery red indicator light is
flashing, the batteries need replacement.
• To extend battery life, turn laser off when not working with or marking the beam.
• To ensure the accuracy of your work, check often to make sure your laser is calibrated. See
Field Calibration Check.
• Before attempting to use the laser, make sure it is positioned securely, on a smooth, flat
surface.
• Always mark the center of the beam created by the laser.
• Extreme temperature changes may cause movement of internal parts that can affect
accuracy. Check your accuracy often while working. See Field Calibration Check.
• If the laser has been dropped, check to make sure your laser is still calibrated. See Field
Calibration Check.
LOW BATTERY INDICATION
The DW089 laser is equipped with a red indicator light (B), as shown in Figure 2. The red
indicator light is located to the left of the on/off buttons (C, D, E).
A flashing red indicator light indicates that the batteries are low and need to be replaced. The
laser may continue to operate for a short time while the batteries continue to drain, but the
beam(s) will quickly dim. After fresh batteries are installed and the laser is turned on again, the
laser beam(s) will return to full brightness and the red indicator light will stay off. (A flashing laser
beam is not caused by low batteries; see Out of Tilt Range Indicator.)
