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 Sixteen. Be sure the laser is attached to the HQ Sixteen 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 Simply Sixteen
™
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 6). 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.
