*) The range improves the better the laser light is returned from
the surface of the target (dispersing, not refl ecting) and the
brighter the laser is compared to the ambient light (interior
rooms, twilight).
**) In unfavourable conditions such as strong sunlight or
poorly refl ective surfaces, the maximum deviation is ± 8mm
at 20m. In favourable conditions, a deviation infl uence of
± 0.1mm/m must be taken into account.

CAUTION LASER RADIATION! DO NOT STARE
INTO BEAM! CLASS 2 LASER PRODUCT!
Never look directly into the laser beam or into the opening
from which it emerges.
Looking at a laser beam through optical
instruments (e.g. magnifying glasses etc.) can cause eye
injuries.
ATTENTION! If operating and adjustment equipment is used
or procedures other than those specified here are carried
out, this may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Never aim the laser beam at reflective surfaces, people or
animals. Even brief visual contact with a laser beam can
result in eye injuries.
Safety instructions for batteries/
