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.
