Adjusting the position of laser line

For model LS0814FL only

WARNING:

•

As the tool is plugged when adjusting the position of laser line, take a full
caution especially at switch action. Pulling the switch trigger accidentally
cause an accidental start of the tool and personal injury.

CAUTION:

•

Never look into the laser beam directly. Direct laser beam causes
damage to your eyes.

•

Never apply a blow or impact to the tool. A blow or impact causes the
incorrect position of laser line, damage to the laser beam emitting part or
a short life of the tool.
