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.
