Laser safety/classification

The H3x360G projects a 360° horizontal line and two 360° vertical lines.
The product corresponds to Laser class 2 according to DIN EN 60825-1:2014.
Class 2 laser:
When using Class 2 laser devices, the eye is protected by the blink reflex or aversion reaction in the case of random and short-term exposure. WARNING
Looking directly into the beam with optical aids (e.g. binoculars, telescopes) can be dangerous.
CAUTION
Looking into the laser beam may be hazardous to the eye.

• Do not look into the laser beam.
• Do not aim the laser beam at other people.

Labelling on the device:

• Do not remove the type plate!

Getting Started

Fully charge the batteries before first use.
The battery charge status is shown on the display.Charge the batteries when the symbol flashes continuously on the screen. Use the charger supplied with your H3x360G.
The device cannot be used whilst charging.
The batteries are fully charged in approx. 3 hours.
6.1 Operation with batteries

1. Open the battery compartment cover.
2. Insert batteries with the correct polarity into the H3x360G.
3. Close the battery compartment cover (audibleclick of the cover).

Only use type 18650 3.6 V Li-ion batteries (3450 mAh).
Remove the batteries if the instrument is not used for an extended period.
NOTE
The intensity of the laser lines can vary depending on the battery quality.

Operation

7.1 Getting started
7.1.1 SWITCHING THE INSTRUMENT ON AND OFF
ON:
Push the on/off switch, transport lock to the right (ON position) and the pendulum unit will be released. The device emits three 360° lines from the outlet openings. To turn the vertical  and horizontal 360° lines on and off, press the H and V buttons. The instrument will level itself automatically within the specified inclination range (see Chapter 3/ Technical data).
OFF:
Push the on/off switch, transport lock to the left (OFF position) and the pendulum unit will be locked; the laser line will disappear.
NOTE
Magnets can affect the measurement instrument and lead to false results.
If the vertical laser line is not projected vertically to the wall or to the target surface, uneven surfaces can lead to erroneous measurement results.

• Make sure that the vertical laser line is projected vertically on to the wall or the target surface.
  Severe temperature fluctuations can lead to erroneous measurement results.

• Before start-up, allow the device to acclimatize to the ambient conditions.
  The laser lines will flash every 30 seconds when the battery capacity falls below 10%.

• Recharge the battery regularly or ensure additional batteries are available.

7.1.2 PULSE MODE
The REC LGD0 receiver can be used to detect the laser lines at even greater distances or in unfavorable environmental conditions. Pulse mode is active on the H3x360G when the MODE button is pressed. The laser lines flash three times to indicate the change.
7.1.3 CREATING INCLINATIONS BEYOND THE RANGE OF AUTOMATIC LEVELLING
ON:

• Push the on/off switch, transport lock to the left (OFF position).
• Hold down the MODE button for at least 5 seconds.
• To indicate that the self-leveling is switched off, the lines will blink every 4 seconds.

OFF:

• Hold down the MODE button for at least 5 seconds.

CAUTION
If the laser line is not projected vertically to the surface or the surface is uneven, this can lead to erroneous measurement results.

• Make sure that the laser line is projected vertically on to the wall or the target surface.

7.2 Applications

Checking the accuracy

Check the accuracy of the Hultafors H3x360G before each measurement.

• Before starting the check, let the device acclimatise to the environmental conditions.

8.1 Checking the accuracy of the vertical line

• Attach a plumb line as close as possible possible to a (at least) 3 m high wall.
• Mount the H3x360G onto a tripod at a height of approx. 1.2 m.
• Position the device approx. 3 m in front of the plumb line.
• Switch on the H3x360G and project the vertical laser line onto the plumb line.

If the deviation is greater than 4 mm, the device must be readjusted. In this case, consult your dealer.

8.2 Checking the leveling accuracy of the horizontal line

1. Select two horizontal, flat walls (A & B), which are approx. 10 meters apart.
   • Mount the H3x360G onto a tripod and position it at a distance of approx. 20 cm from wall A.
   • Mark the intersecting point 1 of the verticaland horizontal lines on wall A.

2. Rotate the H3x360G by 180° and mark point 2 on wall B.
   • Position the laser at the same height approx. 20 cm away from wall B and mark point on 3 wall B.

3. Rotate the H3x360G by 180° and mark point 4 on wall A.
   • Measure the vertical distance d1of the marked points 1 -4 and the vertical spacing d2 20 cm of the points 2 – 3.• Mark the center point of d1 and d2.
   • If the reference points 1 and 3 are on different sides of the center point, d2 must be subtracted from d1.
   • If the reference points 1 and are on the same side of the center point,d1 must be added to d2.
   • Divide the results with twice the value of the room length.

If the result is greater than 4 mm, the device must be readjusted. For this, please consult your dealer.
