Laser Stylus Safety and Use Guidelines
Theory of Operation
The laser stylus projects a straight laser beam visible as a dot on surfaces it hits. The laser
dot is used as a guide or stylus allowing you to stitch the same pattern onto a quilt that is being
traced with the laser dot.
Laser Operation and Use
There is not a separate on/off switch for the laser. Power is supplied to the laser when it is
plugged into the HQ Fusion™. Be sure the laser is attached to the HQ Fusion™ and pointed
downward toward the table before connecting it to the port. Never point it in a direction that
would project the beam into someone’s eyes. If the laser should cease to operate, check to
ensure the plug is firmly seated into the HQ Fusion™ laser port.
Caution:
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Laser Focus/Laser Image Size
This high quality laser is focusable. The laser is focused by simply grasping the threaded
housing surrounding the lens and turning clockwise or counter clockwise
(see Photo 7). The laser image can be adjusted bigger or smaller. The
direction of rotation needed is determined by the distance of the laser
from the intended focal plane. Experiment by turning the threaded end to
achieve your desired focal size.
Clamp Adjustment
The laser attaches to a mounting post. The post may be vertical or
horizontal. The clamp is designed to articulate any direction by rotating
the clamp on the post and pivoting the laser up or down. To make an
adjustment, simply loosen the black thumbscrews, position, and retighten.
Location of Laser Labels
The label is attached to the case of the laser and contains an arrow which
indicates the direction the laser light will shine when energized. The label
must remain in place on the laser. Removal of the label will void the
laser’s warranty.
