Note for inspection
• When the instrument reaches approx. 2 million performed strokes, the
code SEr always appears for approx. 3 seconds in the three-digit display
when the TRIM/SECT button is pressed
(switching between trimming and sectioning mode).
This is a reminder that the instrument must be inspected by an autho-
rized Leica service technician, regardless of how heavily the instrument
has been used.

The instrument is basically maintenance-free.
To ensure trouble-free operation of the instrument over a long period of time, the following is recom-
