a laser beam emitted by the laser in bright light 
conditions or over long distances. The detector can 
be used in both indoor and outdoor situations where 
it is difficult to see the laser beam. 
The detector is designed exclusively for use with the 
DW088 and DW089 line laser and other compatible 
DEWALT line lasers. It is not for use with rotating 
lasers. 
DO NOT use under wet conditions or in presence of 
flammable liquids or gases.
The digital laser detector is a professional laser 
accessory. 
DO NOT let children come into contact with the 
attachment and laser. Supervision is required when 
inexperienced operators use this laser.
