Carefully read the Safety Instructions and
Product Manual before using this product. The
person responsible for the product must ensure
that all users understand and adhere to these
instructions.
WARNING:
The following label information is placed on your
laser tool to inform you of the laser class for your
convenience and safety.

4.5V DC
The DW0165Stools emit a visible laser
beam, as shown in Figure A1 . The laser beam
emitted is Laser Class 2 per IEC 60825-1 and complies
with 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 except for deviations
pursuant to Laser Notice No. 50, dated June 24, 2007.
WARNING:
While the laser tool is in operation, be careful not
to expose your eyes to the emitting laser beam
(red light source). Exposure to a laser beam
for an extended time period may be hazardous
to your eyes. Do not look into the beam with
optical aids.
:GNINRAW To reduce the risk of injury, user
must read the Product User manual, Laser
Safety manual, and Battery Safety information.

Measuring the Height of a Tall Object
If you need to measure the height of a tall object (e.g.,

the distances from the same point to 2 or 3 points on
the object. The tool will use the Pythagorean Theorem
(C2=A2+B2) to calculate the height.

E
• If the tool can be positioned opposite the bottom
of the tall object (to create an angle ≤45°), use
the distances to 2 points to calculate the height
(Figure G).
• If the tool must be pointed downward to aim at
the bottom of the tall object (to create an angle >
45°), use the distances to 3 points to calculate the
height (Figure H).
