OPERATING TIPS
♦ Use only new, high-quality, name brand batteries for best
results.
♦ Ensure batteries are in good working condition. If the low
battery red indicator light is flashing, the batteries need
replacement.
♦ To extend battery life, turn laser off when not working with or
marking the beam.
♦ To ensure the accuracy of your work, check to make sure
your laser is calibrated often. See Field Calibration Check.
♦ Before attempting to use the laser, make sure it is positioned
securely, on a smooth, flat surface.
♦ Always mark the center of the beam created by the laser.
♦ Extreme temperature changes may cause movement of
internal parts that can affect accuracy. Check your accuracy
often while working. See Field Calibration Check.
♦ If the laser has been dropped, check to make sure your laser
is still calibrated. See Field Calibration Check.
