Danger, 

Warning, 

Caution terms, symbols, and instructions located 

on our website. The diode pointer provides a safety measure by enabling operators 

to monitor the location of the CO

1.

  Remove the Diode Pointer from it’s packaging and set aside. Take note of the box contents.

The pointer has both near and far field adjustments set at the factory. If alignment is still required after 

installation, see the following sections for guidance. If your SYNRAD® laser is shipped with a Diode Pointer 

installed, it is also factory pre-aligned and ready for operation.

2. 

   Upon arrival, inspect all shipping containers for signs of damage. If you discover shipping damage,  

 

document the damage (photographically if possible), then immediately notify the shipping  

 

 

carrier (responsible party for any transportation damage) and SYNRAD. 

3.

  Remove the two dust covers. One of the covers is on the front of the Diode Pointer face, the other is on  

 

the back.

Failure to 

remove can 

damage the 

laser!

1.1

   Collect the required tools per the Installa-   

 

tion Instructions included in your box and    

 

remove the two dust cover(s) one in front    

 

and another in the back.

Warning

Serious 

personal 

injury

Assure the laser and the diode pointer are 

turned off during install.
