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.
