• Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Repairs, service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel will void the warranty. Only approved and authorised service technicians can carry out warranty repairs.
• Do not use optical tools such as a telescope or transit to view the laser beam. Serious eye injury could result.
• Do not place the laser in a position which may cause anyone to intentionally or unintentionally stare into the laser beam. Serious eye injury could result.
• Do not position the laser near a reflective surface which may reflect the laser beam toward anyone’s eyes. Serious eye injury could result.
• Do not use optical tools to view the laser beam.
• Do not set up the tool at a position where the laser beam can cross any person at head height.
• Do not let children come in contact with the laser.
• Turn the laser off when it is not in use. Leaving the laser on increases the risk of staring into the laser beam.
• Do not operate the laser around children or allow children to operate the laser. Serious eye injury may result.
• Do not remove or deface warning labels.

Using Your Laser

POWER SUPPLY
Rechargeable battery pack

• The instrument is supplied with a rechargeable Ni-MH battery pack that is located in the base of the instrument.
• The rechargeable battery pack is supplied only partially charged. Charge the rechargeable battery pack before use. Keep the rechargeable battery pack in the carry case when not in the laser level.
• The power indicator light will flash when the battery is low. The instrument should be recharged as soon as possible.
• Battery pack capacity decreases at low temperatures; a depleted pack may not function when cold.

Indoor charger

• The indoor charger is for indoor use only.
• Do not store in locations where moisture can be present or where the chargers could be exposed to extreme temperatures.
• If a charger becomes damaged, stop using immediately and seek a replacement.

WARNING: Only use the supplied charger.
Using an incorrect charger will void the warranty. Do not charge alkaline batteries.

Charging the rechargeable battery pack

• Insert the charger into one of the two charging ports. The charging ports are located on the battery pack and underneath the control panel.
  Progress will be shown by the power indicator display on the charger as below:
  Red (flashing) = Charger and battery are not connected.
  Red (constant) = Battery is charging
  Green (constant) = Battery is charged

• Charging time is approximately 5 hours for a depleted battery.

The battery pack does not need to be inserted in the laser whilst charging via the port on the battery pack.

Removing and inserting the rechargeable battery pack

• Loosen the battery thumb screw on the base of the instrument and remove the battery pack.
• Insert the battery pack, ensuring the metal pins are aligned. Tighten the battery thumb screw.

WARNING: Do not attempt to dissasemble the battery pack.

SET UP

• Select a place as close as practical to the work site. Ensure the location is clear of traffic.
• Place the laser on a level surface such as a bench or mount.

HORIZONTAL MEASURMENT SET UP
Level surface set up

• Select a place as close and practical to the work site as possible, and ensure that the location is clear of traffic.
• Place the laser level onto a reasonably level surface with the lighthouse facing upwards.

Mounting to a construction tripod
The construction tripod is an optional accessory which can be purchased from your retailer.

• Extend the tripod legs to the required height and then spread the legs wide enough so that the tripod platform is stable.
• Place the laser level onto the tripod with the lighthouse facing upwards and thread the yoke into the base until firm. Do not over tighten as this may cause damage to the laser level or tripod.

WARNING! Attaching the instrument to a tripod without the correct thread size as your instrument may cause damage.
Instructions are for a domed or flat construction tripod only.

OPERATION
Powering on

• Press the power button once and the instrument will power on and begin automatically selflevelling. When this levelling process is complete, the penta prism inside the lighthouse will start rotating.
• If the instrument is outside the self levelling range the instrument will not level causing the laser beam to flash continuously. If this occurs, reposition the instrument onto a level surface until the instrument can level off.

Powering off

• Press the power button once and the instrument will power off.

Speed control

• Press the speed control button to cycle through various rotational speeds.
• The speed control indicator will flash slowly when speed is slow and fast when speed is increased.

Scanning mode

• To focus the laser beam between two points press the scanning mode button.
• Pressing the button multiple times will adjust the angle of the beam.
• To cancel scan mode press the scanning mode button several times to cycle through to full rotation.

Rotation direction

• Whilst the instrument is in scanning mode press the clockwise or counter clockwise button to change the rotation of the laser head. button to change the rotation of the laser head. Tilt alarm
• Once the instrument has been levelled off the tilt alarm can be enabled by pressing the tilt alarm button. The tilt alarm indicator light will flash continuously whilst active.

Checking Calibration

Before doing any precision levelling it is advised to check the calibration of the instrument.

• Set up the laser on a tripod at about 30m facing a wall or staff with a detector.
• Allow the instrument to level.
• Detect and note laser position on the wall or staff.
• Without moving the tripod rotate the instrument 180°.
• Detect and note laser position on the wall or staff.
• Calculate the distance between the two readings.
• The difference should be within 6mm at 30m.
• If the instrument is out of calibration it is advised to send it in to Spot-on. (see www.spoton.com.au for details)
