DISTANCE TO SPOT (FIG. 4)
IR Thermometers have a "Cone Effect" where the
further the thermometer is from the object, the larger
the area being measured. The IR Thermometer
has a 12:1 distance to spot (12:1) ratio: for every
300 mm away from the object it will measure 25
mm. The object that is being tested needs to
be larger than the spot size to ensure accurate
readings.
KEY NOTES IF HAVING TROUBLE TAKING MEASUREMENT
1. Make sure to apply masking tape or flat black
paint to surfaces that are highly reflective (use
the default 0.95 emissivity setting).
2. Make sure to have the correct emissivity for the
material you are testing. Refer to Emissivity
and Nominal Emissivity Table.
3. Clean the material before testing if there is
heavy dirt, grease, etc.

Operating Tips

• Use only the 10.8 V D WALT lithium ion battery.
E
• Ensure batteries are in good working condition.
If the low battery indicator light is flashing, the
batteries need to be recharged.
• To extend battery life, release the IR
Thermometer trigger when not taking
temperature readings.

MAINTENANCE

Your D WALT tool has been designed to operate
E
over a long period of time with a minimum of
maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation
depends upon proper tool care and regular cleaning.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, turn tool
off and disconnect battery pack
before making any adjustments or
removing/installing attachments or
accessories.
The charger and Infrared Thermometer are not
serviceable. There are no serviceable parts inside the
charger or Infrared Thermometer.

Troubleshooting

THE IR THERMOMETER DOES NOT TURN ON
• Make sure the 10.8 V battery is charged.
• While the IR Thermometer may be stored
in temperatures up to 85° C (185° F), the
IR Thermometer has a built-in protection
circuit that will not allow it to operate at
temperatures in excess of 40° C (104° F). If the
IR Thermometer has been stored in extremely
hot temperatures, allow it to cool. The IR
thermometer will not be damaged by pressing
the ON/OFF button before cooling to its proper
operating temperature.
Lubrication
Your laser requires no additional lubrication.
Cleaning
WARNING: Never use solvents or
other harsh chemicals for cleaning the
non-metallic parts of the tool. These
chemicals may weaken the materials
used in these parts. Use a cloth
