First, unpack your Ditto box. Inside, you will find the beam (2 parts), the projector, bubble level, power cord, cord covers (3), pattern weights (4), target stickers, rotary cutter, and the cutting mat.
When constructed, the longer side of the beam will rest on the floor while the shorter side will connect with the ceiling. Start by sliding the bubble level onto the lower beam. Then, connect the lower and upper sections of the beam. Push and turn the knob on the back of the projector clockwise to lock the two sections together.
Loosen the base knob at the bottom of the beam to extend the spring-loaded foot. Turn the beam upright and place the base on the floor, about a foot from the wall. Step on the footpad to hold it in place and slowly extend the beam up toward the corner of the ceiling and the wall. Tighten the base knob.
Push the beam down to move it away from the wall. Carry the beam over to your workspace at an angle. With the flat side toward the table, position it about one inch from the table. Push the beam down again to position it between the floor and ceiling. Adjust as needed to make it perpendicular to both surfaces. Center the bubble level to confirm correct positioning.
Next, slide the projector carrier down so that you can reach it. Attach the projector with the lens facing the ceiling. Rotate it down so that the lens faces your worktable.
Unfold the cutting mat and place it with the logo facing outwards, away from the beam.
Plug the power cord into the wall and then into the projector.
Adjust the projector carrier until the projected red line rests on top of the white frame of the cutting mat.
Finally, maneuver the power cord inside of the beam and snap the cord covers into place. Now you are ready to calibrate.
