CAUTION!
Class 3R Laser Product
Max. Power Output: ≤5mW
Wavelength: 630-650nm
THIS TOOL EMITS LASER RADIATION.
DO NOT STARE INTO BEAM.
AVOID DIRECT EYE EXPOSURE.
ATTENTION IMPORTANT
• Read all instructions prior to operating this laser tool. Do not remove
any labels from tool.
• Do not stare directly at the laser beam.
• Do not project the laser beam directly into the eyes of others.
• Do not set up laser tool at eye level or operate the tool near a reflective
surface as the laser beam could be projected into your eyes or into the
eyes of others.
• Do not place the laser tool in a manner that may cause someone to
unintentionally look into the laser beam. Serious eye injury may result.
• Do not operate the tool in explosive environments, i.e. in the presence
of gases or flammable liquids.
• Keep the laser tool out of the reach of children and other untrained

IMPORTANT: It is the responsibility of the user to verify the
calibration of the instrument before each use. See section 7.
How to Charge Lithium-ion Batteries
The rotary laser unit is shipped with two Lithium-ion (Li-ion)
batteries installed but not charged. Li-ion batteries can be charged
either installed or external to the unit. Follow the steps below to
charge the batteries.
How to Charge Lithium-ion Batteries Inside the Unit
1. Slide open the battery recharge
port on the front of the rotary laser.

2. Connect the Type C, USB adapter/
charger to the rotary laser recharge
port. (Figure 2)
3. Connect the opposite end of charging
cable to a power source and note
that a green light next to the charging
port lights up. Charge time is typically
5 hours.
4. When charged using this method,
the battery charge is indicated by
LED light "b". See Operating Panel
