- Check whether all of the parts are correctly fitted. If the product is not correctly assembled there is a danger of injury.

- Do not expose the product to: - extreme temperatures, - strong vibrations, - high mechanical loads, - direct solar radiation, - moisture. Failure to observe this advice may result in damage to the product.

■ Remove the batteries if the product breaks down or is defective. Otherwise there is the danger that the laser may be inadvertently switched on. This could lead to permanent eye damage.

WARNING! Never open the product housing. This could result in personal injury or damage to the product. Always have any repairs carried out at the service centre or by an electrical equipment repair specialist.

- Do not use the product in places where there is a danger of fire or explosion, for example near inflammable liquids or gases.

■ Any adjustment to increase the power of the laser is not permitted.
If a bubble level is damaged, avoid contact of any kind with the fluid contained in the bubble. However, should contact occur it is essential that the following advice is observed. First aid measures on:

SKIN CONTACT: Clean the affected area immediately for at least 15 minutes with plenty of soap and water. Contact a doctor if you suffer lasting skin irritation.

EYE CONTACT: Flush the affected eye immediately for at least 15 minutes with plenty of water. When doing this, hold the eye open with a thumb and index finger. Contact a doctor immediately.

Warning!

Risk of injury from laser beams!

WARNING! Do not look directly into the laser beam or into the laser aperture. This can result in permanent eye damage if the eye's natural reflex to close does not take place.

■ Never direct the laser beam directly on to the eyes of people or animals.
If the laser beam strikes your eyes, close them immediately and turn your head out of the beam.

• Keep the product safely in a place inaccessible to children. Children often underestimate the possible dangers associated with these products.
  ■ Never direct the laser beam on to objects that can reflect light. Even looking briefly into the beam can result in eye damage.
  ■ Always switch off the laser beam if you leave the product unattended.

Safety instructions for batteries/rechargeable batteries

■ DANGER TO LIFE! Keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of reach of children. If accidentally swallowed seek immediate medical attention.
■ Swallowing may lead to burns, perforation of soft tissue, and death. Severe burns can occur within 2 hours of ingestion.

DANGER OF EXPLOSION! Never

recharge non-rechargeable batteries.

Do not short-circuit batteries/recharge-

able batteries and/or open them. Overheating, fire or bursting can be the result.

■ Never throw batteries/rechargeable batteries into fire or water.
Do not exert mechanical loads to batteries/rechargeable batteries.

Risk of leakage of batteries/rechargeable batteries

- Avoid extreme environmental conditions and temperatures, which could affect batteries/rechargeable batteries, e.g. radiators/direct sunlight.

If batteries/rechargeable batteries have leaked, avoid contact with skin, eyes and mucous membranes with the chemicals! Flush immediately the affected areas with fresh water and seek medical attention!

WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES!

Leaked or damaged batteries/recharge-able batteries can cause burns on contact with the skin. Wear suitable protective gloves at all times if such an event occurs.

In the event of a leakage of batteries/rechargeable batteries, immediately remove it from the product to prevent damage.
Only use the same type of batteries/rechargeable batteries. Do not mix used and new batteries/rechargeable batteries.
■ Remove the batteries/rechargeable batteries if the product will not be used for a longer period.

Risk of damage of the product

■ Only use the specified type of battery/recharge-able battery!
- Insert batteries/rechargeable batteries according to polarity marks (+) and (-) on the battery/rechargeable battery and the product.
■ Use a dry lint-free cloth or cotton swab to clean the contacts on the battery/rechargeable battery and in the battery compartment before inserting!
■ Remove exhausted batteries/rechargeable batteries from the product immediately.

● Preparing for first use

- Inserting/replacing batteries (see Fig. A)

Switch off the product.
Open the battery compartment cover 2a.
☐ Insert 2 batteries type 1.5V, AAA or replace the used batteries with new ones. Insert the batteries with correct polarity (+/-) in accordance with the polarity mention on the battery compartment cover 2a.
☐ Reclose the battery compartment cover.

Note: If the laser beam is too weak or no longer visible, it is time to replace the batteries.

- Setting up the product

You can use the product with or without a tripod. Follow the steps below to attach and align the product on the tripod:

Turn the tripod 3 with the threaded screw 3a completely into the threaded hole 10 on the underside of the housing. Make sure that the screw is tightened firmly and securely.
☐ Fold out the legs of the tripod 3.
☐ Set the product on the tripod down on the desired surface and align it.
☐ To align the product, first release the clamping screw 4 on the tripod 3 by screwing it anticlockwise.
Now turn and tilt the housing until the air bubbles in the bubble levels 1 and 5 are centrally positioned between the two line markings (see figure B).

Note: If the lighting conditions are inadequate, switch on the illumination for the bubbles using the illumination On/Off switch 8.

☐ Then fix the position of the housing by tightening the clamping screw 4 on the tripod clockwise.

Note: If the position of the product has to be changed, you need to check whether the product requires to be aligned again.

☐ The tripod is not made for carrying loads. For that reason do not load anything onto the product when it is attached to the tripod.

Make sure not to bend the tripod's legs.

Operation

WARNING! Do not look directly into the laser beam or into the laser beam apertures 6. This can result in permanent eye damage if the eye's natural reflex to close does not take place. If the laser beam strikes your eyes, close them immediately and turn your head out of the beam.

Use with the tripod

Set the product on the tripod down in the desired place and align it as described in the section “Setting up the product”.

☐ Switch on the product with the laser beam On/Off switch 7. The product projects two laser beams that intersect one another at right angles on to a wall.

Note: You may change the laser to a line format ("LINE") or to cross-hatch format ("CROSS") by sliding the switch 11 (see figure C).

☐ If the laser beam is not exactly at the required height, you can use a ruler or another suitable measuring product to mark vertical and horizontal points on the wall. To do this, remark the desired position on the wall at the calculated distance from the laser beam. Ensure that the measuring aid is absolutely vertical and use a spirit level if necessary.

- Use without a tripod

Hold the product with the wide side to a wall.
☐ Switch on the product by pressing the laser beam On/Off switch 7.

Note: If the lighting conditions are inadequate, switch on the illumination for the bubbles using the illumination On/Off switch 8.

☐ Align the product so that the air bubbles in the bubble levels 1 and 5 are centrally positioned between the two line markings (see figure B).
☐ A second person can now mark the desired points.

Note: The product has two magnets 9. They allow you to attach the product to surfaces that attract magnetic objects, e.g. steel shelves.

Note: Electrostatic discharge could lead to functional errors. If such functional errors occur, remove the battery briefly and replace it again.

● Maintenance, cleaning and care

Apart from replacing the batteries, the product is maintenance-free.

• Clean the outside of the product only with a soft, slightly moist cloth. Never use liquids or cleaning agents, as they may damage the product.
  □ Clean the laser optics with a soft, narrow paint brush.
  Store the product in as dry and dust-free conditions as possible.
  ☐ If the product is not to be used for a prolonged period, remove the batteries and store them separately.
