your eyes.
Read all instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Do not direct the laser beam at persons or animals and do
not stare into the laser beam yourself. This tool produces
laser class 2 laser radiation and complies with 21 CFR

information are read
completely and the
instructions contained therin
are strictly followed. Never
make warning labels on the
Rangefinder unrecognizable. 
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
toward the operator. 
Take care to recognize the
accuracy and range of the  
device. Measurement may not  be accurate if used beyond the
rated range of the device.
Use of controls or adjustments
or performance of procedures
other than those specified
herein may result in hazardous
radiation exposure. 
The use of optical instruments 
with this product will increase
eye hazards.

persons or animals and do not
look into the laser beam
yourself, not even from a 
large distance. 
Do not use the laser viewing 
glasses as safety goggles.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.
WARNING: Be sure to read and
understand all instructions in this
manual before using this product.
Failure to follow all instructions
may result in hazardous radiation
exposure, electric shock, fire,
and/or bodily injury. 
CAUTION: Use of controls or
adjustments or performance of
procedures other than those
specified in this manual, may result
in hazardous radiation exposure.
CAUTION: The use of optical
instruments with this product will 
increase eye hazard. 
IMPORTANT:  The following
labels are on your rangefinder for
your convenience and safety.
They indicate where the laser 
light is emitted by the level.
ALWAYS BE AWARE of their
location when using the level. 
ALWAYS: Make sure that any
bystanders in the vicinity of use 
are made aware of the dangers
of looking directly into the 
rangefinder. 
DO NOT remove or deface any
warning or caution labels.  Removing labels increases the risk
of exposure to laser radiation. 
DO NOT stare directly at the laser
beam or project the laser beam
directly into the eyes of others.
Serious eye injury could result.
DO NOT place the rangefinder in
a position that may cause anyone
