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.

personnel. Repairs, service or maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel may result in injury.
• Do not use optical tools such as a telescope or transit to
view the laser beam. Serious eye injury could result.
