11. Care and Maintenance

This device is a product of superior design and manufacture and should be
treated with care. The suggestions below will help the user fulfill any warranty
obligations and also allow the user to enjoy this product for many years. When
using the device:
• Keep it and all its parts and accessories out of reach of small children.
• Keep it dry. Although
humidity, and liquids which contain minerals that will corrode electrical
circuits can still enter the device.
• Do not store it in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of
electronic devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics.
• Do not store it in cold areas. When the device warms up to its normal
operating temperature, moisture can form inside where it may damage
circuit boards.
• Although laser square is dust and dirt resistant, do not store in dusty, dirty
areas as long-term exposure to these elements may damage
internal moving parts.
• Do not attempt to open it. Non-expert handling of the device may
damage it.
• Do not drop, knock, or shake it. Rough handling can break
internal circuit boards.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to
clean it. Wipe it with a soft cloth, slightly dampened in a mild soap-and-
water solution.
• Keep the laser aperture windows clean by periodically wiping them with a
cotton swab dipped in alcohol.
KEEP TOOL CLEAN
All plastic parts should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. NEVER use solvents
to clean plastic parts. They could very possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the
material.
