Safety Instructions for Lasers
Use the laser only with the specifically designated batteries.
Use of any other batteries may create a risk of fire.
Store idle laser out of reach of children and other untrained
persons. Lasers are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable
for one laser, may create a risk of injury when used on another
laser.
Laser service MUST be performed only by qualified repair
personnel. Repairs, service or maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel may result in injury. To locate your
nearest D
EWALT service center call 1-800-4-DEWALT (1-800-
433-9258) or go to http://www.dewalt.com on the Internet.
Do not use optical tools such as a telescope or transit to
view the laser beam. Serious eye injury may result from staring
at the beam.
Do not place the laser in a position which may cause
anyone to intentionally or unintentionally stare into the
laser beam. Serious eye injury may result from staring at the
beam. Whenever possible, laser beam should be well above or
well below eye level.
Do not position the laser near a reflective surface which
may reflect the laser beam toward anyone’s eyes. Serious
eye injury could result.
Turn the laser off when it is not in use. Leaving the laser on
increases the risk of staring into the laser beam.
Do not operate the laser around children or allow children
to operate the laser. Serious eye injury may result.
Do not remove or deface warning labels. If labels are
removed user or others may inadvertently expose themselves to
laser radiation.
• Do not open the device by using tools, such as but not
limited to, screwdrivers, etc.
Always post a laser warning sign in work areas where
lasers are located.

LASER MAINTENANCE
Under some conditions, the lens of
FIG. 9
the laser emitter and the receiver
may collect some dirt or debris. This
will affect beam quality and operating
range. The lens should be cleaned
with a cotton swab moistened with
water as shown in Figure 9.
WARNING: DO NOT turn the LDM on while cleaning the
lens. Serious eye injury may result from staring at the beam.
• The housing can be cleaned with a wet lint-free cloth such as
a cotton cloth. USE WATER ONLY — DO NOT use cleansers
or solvents. Allow the LDM to air dry before storing.
To maintain the accuracy of your readings, perform control
measurements periodically. Refer to Field Calibration
Check.
• If your LDM requires repair, contact your local D
EWALT service
center.
• When the LDM is not in use, store it in the pouch provided.
Do not store your LDM in the pouch if it is wet. Dry exterior parts
with a soft, dry cloth and allow the LDM to air dry.
Do not store your LDM at temperatures below 20˚F (–7˚C) or
above 160˚F (70˚C).
CAUTION: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for
cleaning the non-metallic parts of the laser. These chemicals may
weaken the materials used in these parts. Use a cloth dampened
only with water and mild soap. Never let any liquid get inside the
unit; never immerse any part of the unit into a liquid. Never use
compressed air to clean the laser.
Field Calibration Check
Measure a known distance [within a 10–30' (3–10 m) range] with
the LDM to confirm that the LDM is functioning properly.
Troubleshooting
If measurement conditions do not permit an accurate measurement,
an error code will appear on the LCD display. For an error code
