Safety Instructions
DANGER: Laser Radiation, avoid direct eye exposure, serious eye injury can result.
• Do not use optical tools such as a telescope or transit to view the laser
beam.
• Position the laser so unintentional eye contact will be avoided.
• Do not operate the laser around children or allow children to operate the
laser.
• Do not disassemble. Modifying the product in any way can increase the risk
of laser radiation.
WARNING: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specified in this manual may result in hazardous laser radiation exposure.
• Do not operate in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases, or dust.
• Use only with the specifically designated batteries. Use of any other batteries may create a
risk of fire.
• Store idle product out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Lasers are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for one laser, may create a risk of injury when used on
another laser.
• Repairs and servicing MUST be performed by a qualified repair facility. Repairs performed
by unqualified personnel could result in serious injury.
• Do not remove or deface warning labels. Removing labels increases the risk of exposure
to radiation.
• For indoor use only.
• This product is intended for use in a temperature range of 41°F(5°C) - 104°F(40°C).
WARNING: Shock Hazard. Always turn off power when working near electrical wires.
Drilling into or touching live wires can result in severe injury or death.
CAUTION: Material thickness, type of material, moisture content, and other variables
can effect sensing results. The sensor may detect electric wiring or pipes in the same
manner that studs are detected depending on their location to the wall surface. Use
caution when drilling, nailing or cutting into walls, floors and ceilings which may contain
electrical wiring or pipes. These items may be detected by the Stud Sensor in the same
manner in which studs are detected. Because studs are normally spaced 16 inches (406
mm) or 24 inches (610 mm) apart and are usually 1-1/2 inches (38 mm) wide, beware of
anything closer together or of a different width.
