Assembly

Inserting/Replacing Batteries (see figure A)
It is recommended that you use alkaline manganese batteries to operate the measuring tool.
To open the battery compartment cover (10), push it away  from the battery compartment in the direction of the arrow. Insert the batteries.
When inserting the batteries, ensure that the polarity is correct according to the illustration on the inside of the battery compartment.
Always replace all the batteries at the same time. Only use batteries from the same manufacturer and which have the same capacity.

  • Take the batteries out of the measuring tool when you are not using it for a prolonged period of time. The batteries can corrode and self-discharge during prolonged storage in the measuring tool.

Operation

Starting Operation

  • Protect the measuring tool from moisture and direct sunlight.
  • Do not expose the measuring tool to any extreme temperatures or variations in temperature. For example, do not leave it in a car for extended periods of time. In case of large variations in temperature, allow the measuring tool to  adjust to the ambient temperature before putting it into operation. The precision of the measuring tool may be compromised if exposed to extreme temperatures or variations in temperature.
  • Avoid substantial knocks to the measuring tool and avoid dropping it. Damaging the measuring tool can cause accuracy to be compromised. If the laser line is subjected to a substantial knock or is dropped, check it by comparing it  to a known horizontal or vertical reference line.

Switching On/Off
To switch on the measuring tool in line operation, push the on/off switch (1) to the — position, and in point operation, push to the ● position. Immediately after being switched on, the measuring tool sends a laser beam out of outlet aperture (5) (line operation) or (11) (point operation), depending on the operating mode selected.

  • Do not direct the laser beam at persons or animals and do not stare into the laser beam yourself (even from a distance).
    To switch off the measuring tool, push the on/off switch  (1) to the centre position.

  • Never leave the measuring tool unattended when switched on, and ensure the measuring tool is switched off after use. Others may be blinded by the laser beam.

Measuring functions
Note: The specified levelling accuracy applies for the alignment of the laser beam with reference to the spirit levels for vertical alignment (3) and for horizontal alignment  (4).
Positioning the Measuring Tool (see figure B)
For precise alignment with the spirit levels, the position of the measuring tool is important.
The listed levelling accuracy is only achieved when the measuring tool is properly positioned:
– For horizontal alignment using the spirit level for horizontal alignment (4), the aluminum supporting surface (2) of the measuring tool must face downward.
– For vertical alignment using the spirit level for vertical alignment (3), the laser outlet aperture for line operation (5) must face upward and the aluminum supporting surface (2) of the measuring tool must face to the side.

Alignment with Laser Line (Line Operation)
Position the measuring tool with the three supporting points (6) against the wall or with help of the magnets (9), fasten it to the holder (14) or to another magnetic surface. Horizontal alignment (see figures C–D): The aluminum supporting surface (2) of the measuring tool must face downward. Horizontally align the measuring tool using the spirit level (4). As an example, you can align picture frames or shelves alongside the horizontal laser line.
Note: Horizontal alignment using the laser line is only possible on the surface against which the measuring tool was placed. Even if the measuring tool has been aligned using the spirit level, the laser line on a transverse wall does not necessarily run horizontal, and is thus not suitable for levelling.
Vertical alignment (see figure D): The laser outlet aperture for line operation (5) must face upward and the aluminum supporting surface (2) of the measuring tool must face to the side. Vertically align the measuring tool using the spirit
level (3). As an example, you can align top and base cabinets alongside the vertical laser line.
Aligning to reference points (see figure E): Turn the measuring tool to any required angle in order to align the laser line alongside your reference points. In this manner, as an example, picture frames can be hung parallel to a stairway or  ceiling pitch. Projecting/Checking Heights using the Laser Point (Point Operation) (see figure F)
Place the measuring tool on the holder  (14) and align it horizontally.
Using the laser point, you can for instance line up plug sockets on different walls or hooks on a coat rack to ensure they are all at the same height. To do this, rotate the upper section of the wall holder (14) with the measuring tool, not the  other way round. Take care not to touch the measuring tool during turning, as this could displace the alignment. Once turned, check the upper section of the holder (14) to establish whether the spirit level for horizontal alignment (4) is  still central. If this is not the case, realign the holder (14) using the adjusting screw (17) as required, until the spirit level (4) is central again.
Working with tripod (recommended): Align the laser beam to the required height. Project or check the height at the target location.
Working without the tripod: Establish the height difference between the laser beam and the height at the reference point. Apply or check the height difference measured at the target location.
Checking Horizontal/Vertical Lines with the Spirit Levels (see figure G)
The measuring tool can also be used as a carpenter’s spirit level for checking vertical and horizontal lines, for example to align a washing machine or a refrigerator. Position the measuring tool with the aluminum supporting surface (2) on the surface to be checked.
When placing on horizontal surfaces, the aluminum supporting surface (2) must face downward; when placing against vertical surfaces, the laser outlet aperture for line operation (5) must face upward.

Working Advice

  • Only the centre of the laser point or laser line must be used for marking. The size of the laser point/the width of the laser line changes depending on the distance.

Fastening/Aligning using the Holder
Using the holder (14), the measuring tool can be fastened as follows:
– Line operation: Hanging it by the recess on its rear, place the holder onto a screw head slightly projecting out of a wall. Use the magnets (9) to fasten the measuring tool to the metal surface for line operation (15) of the holder. Turn the  upper part of the holder to align the measuring tool as required.
– Point operation: Using the tripod mount (18), place the holder onto the 1/4″ thread of the tripod and screw it tight using the locking screw of the tripod. Align the tripod roughly. When working without a tripod, place the holder  (14) on a surface that is as level as possible.
Position the measuring tool with the aluminum supporting surface (2) facing down on the holder. Use the left magnet (9) (viewed from the front side of the measuring tool) to attach the measuring tool to the metal surface for point operation (16) of the holder.
Horizontally align the upper part of the holder using the adjusting screw (17) of the holder and the spirit level for horizontal alignment (4) of the measuring tool.  Turn the upper part of the holder by 90° and repeat the alignment.

Laser Goggles (Accessory)
The laser goggles filter out ambient light. This makes the light of the laser appear brighter to the eye.

  • Do not use the laser goggles (accessory) as protective goggles.
    The laser goggles make the laser beam easier to see; they do not protect you against laser radiation.

  • Do not use the laser goggles (accessory) as sunglasses or while driving. The laser goggles do not provide full UV protection and impair your ability to see colours.
