Manual

1.0 Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of a Checkline® LS-9-12000 Linear Stroboscope.
It uses the principle of stroboscopic lighting to create an illusion of stopped motion,
allowing detailed inspection of objects moving at high speeds.
NOTE: When using a stroboscope, it is important to remember that while objects may
appear to become motionless, they are, in fact, still moving. Exercise proper care to
prevent injury.
Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before operating your stroboscope. If you
have any questions not answered by this manual, call your local supplier, or visit our
web chat interface at www.checkline.com for full product support.
