Read all instructions. Failure to
follow all instructions listed below
may result in hazardous radiation exposure, electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
The term “laser measure” in the warnings listed below
refers to your battery-operated (cordless) laser mea-
suring tool.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
The following label is on your
laser measure for your safety.
ALWAYS BE AWARE of its
location when using the laser
measure.

the laser beam
at persons or animals and do not stare
into the laser beam yourself. This laser
measure produces class 2 laser radiation
and complies with 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 ex-
General Safety Rules

cept for deviations pursuant to Laser Notice No. 50,
dated June 24, 2007. This can lead to persons being
blinded.
DO NOT stare directly at the laser beam or project
the laser beam directly into the eyes of others. Seri-
ous eye injury could result.
DO NOT place the laser measure in a position that
may cause anyone to stare into the laser beam inten-
tionally or unintentionally. Serious eye injury could
result.
DO NOT operate the laser measure around children
or allow children to operate the laser measure. Seri-
ous eye injury could result.
ALWAYS: Make sure that any bystanders in the vicin-
ity of use are made aware of the dangers of looking
directly into the laser measure.
Never aim the beam at a workpiece with a reflective
surface. Bright shiny reflective sheet steel or similar
reflective surfaces are not recommended for laser
use. Reflective surfaces could direct the beam back
towards the operator.
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of
procedures other than those specified herein may
result in hazardous radiation exposure.
DO NOT use any optical tools such as, but not limited
to, telescopes or transits to view the laser beam. Se-
rious eye injury could result.
DO NOT leave the laser measure “ON” unattended in
any operation mode. ALWAYS turn the laser measure
“OFF” when not in use. Leaving the laser measure
“ON” increases the risk of someone inadvertently star-
ing into the laser beam.
DO NOT operate the laser measure in combustible
areas such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases or dust.
Do not use the laser viewing glasses as safety gog-
gles. The laser viewing glasses are used for improved
visualization of the laser beam, but they do not protect
against laser radiation.

Do not use the laser viewing glasses as sun glasses
or in traffic. The laser viewing glasses do not afford
complete UV protection and reduce color perception.
ALWAYS position the laser measure securely. Dam-
age to the laser measure and/or serious injury to the
user could result if the laser measure falls.
Take care to recognize the accuracy and range of the
laser measure. Measurement may not be accurate if
used beyond the rated range of the laser measure.
DO NOT remove or deface any warning or caution
labels. Removing labels increases the risk of exposure
to laser radiation.
Electrical safety
Batteries can explode or leak, cause injury or fire. To
reduce this risk, always follow all instructions and
warnings on the battery label and package.
DO NOT short any battery terminals.
DO NOT charge alkaline batteries.
DO NOT mix old and new batteries. Replace all of
them at the same time with new batteries of the
same brand and type.
DO NOT mix battery chemistries.
Dispose of or recycle batteries per local code.
DO NOT dispose of batteries in fire.
Keep batteries out of reach of children.
Remove batteries if the device will not be used for
several months.

Maintenance
DO NOT disassemble the laser measure. There are
no user serviceable parts inside. Disassembling the
laser will void all warranties on the product. Do not
modify the product in any way. Modifying the laser
measure may result in hazardous laser radiation expo-
sure.
ALWAYS remove the batteries when cleaning the
laser light aperture to laser lens.
DO NOT use this laser measure for any purpose other
than those outlined in this manual. This could result
in serious injury.
ALWAYS use only the accessories that are recom-
mended by the manufacturer of your laser measure.

a qualified repair facility. Repairs performed by un-
qualified personnel could result in serious injury.
