Optical Range (Distance To Spot Ratio)
The 12:1 optical range ratio
refers to the ratio of distance
from surface over measuring
spot diameter. For example if
you measure a surface 120mm
away from the unit, then the
measuring spot will be 10mm in
diameter. For accurate results
the surface you are measuring

Operating Tips
WARNING! KEEP THE THERMOMETER AT LEAST
7CM AWAY FROM HOT SURFACES TO PREVENT
DAMAGE TO THE UNIT.
• For best results, the measurement should be taken as close as
safely possible. Measuring at moderate distances is possible but
other eternal sources of light may aect the reading.
• Before measuring, be sure to clean surfaces that are covered with
frost, oil grime, etc.
• If a surface is highly reective, apply masking tape or at black
paint prior to measuring.
• Steam, dust, smoke can obscure measurements.
• Measurement cannot be made through transparent surfaces such
as glass, as the surface may skew the measurement.
• Keep the lens of the thermometer clean and free of scratches.
• To improve the accuracy of the results, allow time for the
thermometer to acclimatise to the temperature of the surroundings.

Additional Safety Instructions for Laser Lights
The laser light/laser radiation in this unit is a Class 2 laser with a maximum of 1mW and 650nm
wavelength. These lasers do not normally present an optical hazard, however staring at the beam may
cause ash blindness.
WARNING! Do not stare directly at the laser beam. A hazard may exist if you deliberately stare into
the beam. Please observe all the safety instructions below:
1. The laser shall be used and maintained in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.
2. Never aim the beam at any person or an object other than the workpiece.
3. The laser beam shall not be deliberately aimed at personnel and shall be prevented from being directed
towards the eye of a person for longer than 0.25s.
4. Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a sturdy work piece without reective surface’, i.e. wood or rough
coated surfaces are acceptable. Bright shiny reective sheet steel or the like is not suitable for laser use as
the reective surface could direct the beam back at the operator.
5. Do not change the laser light assembly with a dierent type. Repairs must only be carried out by a power tool
repairer.
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specied herein may
result in hazardous radiation exposure. Please refer to the relevant Australian standards, AS 2397 and AS/

BATTERY & LASER SAFETY WARNINGS
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS-PERSONAL SAFETY
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings
refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1. Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
2. Electrical safety
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b.Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the o-position before connecting to
power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your
nger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
h. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
4. Power tool use and care
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and o. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may aect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking
into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations dierent from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
MAINTENANCE
DESCRIPTION OF SYMBOLS
