1.2 LASER SAFETY
The MS070 utilises a Class 2M laser that emits low
levels of visible radiation light (i.e. wavelengths between
630 and 640 nanometres) which are safe for the skin but
not inherently safe for the eyes. The Class 2M emission limit is set
at the maximum level for which eye protection is normally afforded
by natural aversion responses to bright light. Accidental eye
exposure is therefore normally safe, although the natural aversion
response can be overridden by deliberately staring into the beam,
and can also be influenced by the use of alcohol or drugs.
 WARNING!Do not look or stare into the laser beam as
permanent eye damage could result.
 DO NOT direct the laser beam at any person’s (or animal’s)
eyes as eye damage could result. If the beam is obstructed by
a person during use, release the contact switch immediately.
 DO NOT use the equipment while under the influence of
alcohol, drugs or whilst on medication.
 Be aware that reflections of the laser beam from mirrors or
other shiny surfaces can be as hazardous as direct eye
exposure.

3. SET-UP
3.1 Laser Power: The laser units are battery powered and
require two AA batteries in each battery box. See fig.2.
3.1.1 Slide back the lid on each box and insert the batteries paying
attention to the polarity markings in the base of each box.
Slide the lids back into position on each battery box.
3.1.2 Ensure the laser units are working by switching on with the
units directed to the ground. Switch off after testing.
3.2 Assembly: Identify the laser unit with the threaded insert in
the side and screw one of the threaded rods supplied into the
insert. Identify the scale unit with the threaded insert in
the side and screw the other threaded rod into place.
3.3 Motorcycle stability: Before attaching the laser and scale
units you must ensure that the motorcycle is adequately
supported on a suitable stand that lifts the rear wheel from
the ground and supports the motorcycle in a perpendicular
orientation. The stand must also be on a firm stable surface
such as concrete.
3.4 Attaching the laser units to the rear wheel: Referring to
fig.1, loosen the clamp and remove the clamp unit and spring
from the rod together with the right hand laser unit. Position
the left hand laser unit with the rod attached on the nearside
fig.1
fig.2

of the rear wheel and insert the rod through the lower part of
the wheel. Slide the right hand laser unit onto the rod and up
to the tyre, followed by the spring and clamp unit. Lightly
clamp the two units to the tyre in the position indicated in fig.2.
3.5 Attaching the scale units to the front wheel: Referring to
fig.3, loosen the clamp and remove the clamp unit and spring
from the rod together with the right hand scale unit. Position
the left hand scale unit with the rod attached on the nearside
of the front wheel in a near vertical orientation and insert the
rod through the front part of the wheel. Slide the right hand
scale unit onto the rod and up to the tyre, followed by the
spring and clamp unit. Ensure that the two scale units are
parallel to each other and then firmly clamp them to the tyre
in the position indicated in fig.4.
3.5.1 Switch on the lasers and note the position of each beam on
the scales. If necessary, adjust the position/angle of the laser
units on the rear wheel to get the beams to appear on the
scales.
3.6 Front wheel position: The front wheel must be in the
straight ahead position before accurate alignment can take
place. If the beams are parallel with the scale lines the front
wheel is set dead ahead. If the beams are at an angle to the
scale lines, turn the wheel one way or the other until they are
parallel. 4. ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE
fig.3
fig.4
4.1 Alignment procedure: Compare the readings on the scales.
If they are the same then the rear wheel is in alignment with
the front wheel. If they are not the same then it will be
necessary to operate the rear wheel adjusters. If the reading
is higher on the right hand scale, tighten the left hand
adjuster. If the reading is higher on the left hand scale, tighten
the right hand adjuster. When the wheels are in alignment,
finally tighten the rear wheel axle fixings.
