damp, soft cloth. Do not use solvents or any petroleum based
cleaners on the lens.
Note: When laser line is dim and almost or entirely invisible
because of the direct sunlight in the indoor or outdoor window
near your work area, relocate the work area to a place not
exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: All of the adjustments for the operation of this machine
have been carried out at the factory.
Caution: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of
procedures other than those specified herein may result in
hazardous radiation exposure. The use of optical instruments
with this product will increase eye hazard. Do not attempt to
repair or disassemble the laser. If unqualified persons attempt
to repair this laser product, serious injury may result.
