MANUAL

Operating

Hold the device vertically (in case of a vertical laser plane: horizontally) and move

it to the laserplane.

Please pay attention to the acoustic signals and arrows on the (LED) display.

NOTE

When the device is switched on, it is in the operating mode used before it was swit-

ched off.

If in line laser mode, the device detects only the line laser type which was rst detec-

ted after the power on.

Maintenance and Care

Keep the device always clean, especially the laser-sensitive area!

Do not use aggressive cleaning agents or solvents.

If soiled heavily the device can be cleanedunder running water.

Do not use high-pressure cleaner.

Allow it to dry completely before storing it in a closed container. Residual moisture

can result in corrosion of the battery contacts. In this case our warranty expires.

In the unlikely event of a failure or defect, have the appliance examined and repai-

red by Futech.

In all your queries and spare part orders, always quote the serialnumber (see type

plate) of your device.
