1. GENERAL SAFETY RULES

Read all instructions. Failure to follow all 

instructions listed below may result in 

hazardous radiation exposure, electric 

shock, fire, and/or serious injury.

•  CAUTION—use of controls or adjustments or performance 

of procedures other than those specified herein may result 

in hazardous radiation exposure.

•   DO NOT operate this instrument in areas where there is risk 

of fire or explosion, like in the presence of flammable liquids, 

gases, dust, etc.

•  DO  NOT  disassemble  the  instrument.  There  are  no  user 

serviceable parts inside. Disassembling the instrument will 

void all warranties on the product. 

•  DO  NOT  modify  the  instrument  in  any  way.  Modifying  the 

instrument may result in hazardous laser radiation exposure.

•  To ensure that the instrument is used safely, follow all safety 

and operating instructions in this manual. If the instrument 

is not used as described in this operation manual, the safety 

features of this device may be impaired.

•  To avoid personal injuries and damage to the instrument, use 

extreme caution when working around hot machine or engine parts, 

such as radiators, exhaust manifolds, catalytic converters, etc.

•  Repair and servicing must always be performed by qualified 

repair personnel. Repairs performed by unqualified personnel 

could result in serious injury.

•  This instrument is designed for indoor use at temperatures  

between 32°F and 122°F (0°C to 50°C), altitudes up to 6500 

ft. (2,000 m), and 10% to 90% relative humidity.

ALWAYS BE AWARE 

of its location when 

u s i n g   t h e   t o o l .

DO  NOT  direct  the  laser  beam  at  persons  or 

animals and do not stare into the laser beam 

yourself. This tool produces class 2 laser 

radiation and complies with 21 CFR 1040.10 and 

1040.11 except for deviations pursuant to Laser 

Notice No. 50, dated June 24, 2007.  This can lead 

to persons being blinded.

Working safely with this instrument is possible only when the 

operating and safety information are read completely and the 

instructions contained therein are strictly followed. 

• 

Never make the warning labels on the instrument unrecognizable. 

•  Never aim the beam at a workpiece with a reflective surface. 
•  Mirrors or similar reflective surfaces are not recommended for laser 

use, as these could reflect the beam back towards the operator.

•  Do not point the laser beam at persons or animals and do not look 

into the laser beam yourself, not even from a long distance.

•  Do not use laser viewing glasses as safety goggles, because they 

do not protect against laser radiation.

•  Do not allow children to use the measuring tool without supervision. 

They could unintentionally blind other people.

•  ALWAYS: Make sure that any bystanders in the vicinity of use are 

made aware of the dangers of looking directly into the instrument.
