  3. To mark guidelines:
    • Place the bottom on the Level on the floor or wall. Press the Power Switch to turn on the laser.
    • Place the T-Edge against a wall so that the laser lines run parallel to reference lines.

    • Lay the first tile so that the sides are flush with the 0° and 90° laser lines.
    • If laying next to an edge, position the Level so that the T-Edge is against the side of the edge. The 90° laser line should run parallel to the edge and the 0° laser line marks the tile row.
  5. To apply tiles to a wall:
    • Determine the height at which the first tile row should begin and mark the wall using the ruler on the Level or other measuring device.
    • Place the T-Edge at the mark and straighten the Level so that the 0° laser line is parallel with the floor.
  6. To check the alignment of a row of tiles, place L-Edge at the corner of a tile.
