OPTIC CONFIGURATION
The EOTECH Holographic Weapon Sight (HWS)
product line has two different heights above the rail
based on user preference. For this reason, the mag-
nifier does not come preassembled to the mount.
It is user configurable based on the specific model
HWS it will be mounted behind. The 7mm riser,
included, may be required to align the magnifier
optical axis with the sight. Only HWS models with
side buttons or quick detach levers require the use of
the riser. For all other HWS models, the riser should
not be used.
The magnifier system can be configured to switch to the left or to the right based on shooting preference.
Typically, right handed shooters prefer the mount to switch to the left, and left handed shooters to the right.
To configure your HWS you will need a screwdriver (not included). If the spacer is not used, the shorter
screws should be selected. The longer screws are used with the spacer only. If the spacer is being used, place
the spacer on the optic mounting interface. Open the STS mount. Position the mount on the optic mount
interface (or riser) so it opens either to the left or right (based on preference). Insert each screw through the
components, and tighten securely.
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing EOTECH’s new Generation III 3X
magnifier. These magnifiers offer users of the Holographic
Weapon Sight (all models) the additional advantage of vastly
improved target recognition and increased lethality at medium
range distances. The new Switch to Side (STS) mount allows
the user the ability to engage the enemy with confidence in a
Close Quarters Battle (CQB) situation or at distances out to 600
meters or more. This user manual describes the features of the
EOTECH Magnifiers and provides information on their use and maintenance. Please read the instructions
carefully before mounting and using the magnifiers. Always practice proper firearm safety.

BASIC OPERATION
The G33 magnifier is designed to be used behind an EOTECH Holographic Weapon Sight (HWS). The magni-
fier can be mounted directly behind the HWS. Simply switch the magnifier out of the way and operate the
sight. When used with HWS models 518, 558, 556, 517, EXPS or 516 HWS (with side button interface) the
user can easily operate the sight even with the magnifier in the locked position.
Positioning the Reticle:
Once the magnifier is installed properly behind the HWS, it may be necessary to re-zero the sight. This may
be due to the shooter’s ability to see the target and Point of Impact (POI) more accurately than without the
magnifier. Re-zeroing the sight will prevent a perceived shift in POI when going from no magnification to
magnification.
After zeroing or re-zeroing the sight, it may be necessary to reposition the reticle image into the center of the
magnifier window. This is aesthetic in nature and has no affect on the sight’s zero. Turn the horizontal and
vertical adjustments on the top or side of
the magnifier by hand, with a coin or a
flat head screwdriver to reposition reticle
to the desired position.
Switch operation:
To switch the magnifier to the side,
simply push the optic to the right or left,
depending on how it is mounted. To close
the mount, push the magnifier back into
its original position until a hard stop is
achieved.
ADJUSTABLE DIOPTER
The G33 optic includes an adjustable diopter that allows the user to customize
the focus to their particular vision. This feature ensures a crisp, clean aiming
dot for more precision and shot placement. To adjust, simply grasp the diopter
with the thumb and fore finger and turn either clockwise or counter-clockwise
until a clear sight picture is achieved.
