With David White
your sights are set on
precision and accuracy.

Congratulations! You’ve purchased a David White builder/contractor instrument,
known throughout the world for precision and accuracy.

The purpose of this user’s guide is to acquaint you with the instrument, its
components, safety, proper care and handling.

Our levels, level-transits and transits are constructed to withstand extremely
rugged field use. Like all precision instruments, however, they should be treated
with reasonable care to prolong life and accuracy.

All instruments are adjusted when they are shipped from the factory. It is the
customer’s responsibility to check and to ensure instruments are adjusted prior
to using.

David White is not responsible for errors caused by instruments that are out of
adjustment.

Contact your distributor, dealer or David White for information on the nearest
facility to check if your instrument is properly adjusted.

All specifications are subject to change without notice.
