• When the power supply to the product is terminated by removing the batteries or unplugging the AC adapt-
er (optional accessory), the set origin or reference will be erased. In this case, it must be set again.
• If the workpiece is large, and it is necessary to move the main unit, grab the base with your right hand and
the carrier grip with your left hand to move it.
