MAINTENANCE

Your attachment has been designed to operate over a long period of time with a 

minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper 

tool care and regular cleaning.

Detector Service

Except for batteries, there are no user serviceable parts in the Digital Laser Detector. 

Do not disassemble the unit. Unauthorised tampering with the laser detector will void
