  • Working safely with the measuring tool is possible only when the operating and safety information are read completely and instructions contained herein are strictly followed. Never makewarning labels on the measuring tool unrecognizable.

SAVE  THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

  • Caution – The use of operating or adjusting equipment or the application or processing methods other than those mentioned herein, can lead to hazardous radiation exposure.

WARNING

  • LASER RADIATION. Do not stare into beam. Class II laser product. Turn the laser beam on only when using this tool.
  •  Do not remove or deface any product labels.
  • Avoid direct eye exposure. The laser beam can cause persons being blinded.
  • Do not operate the tool around children or allow children to operate the tool.
  • Do not place the tool in a position that may cause anyone to stare at the laser beam, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
  • Do not use on reflecting surfaces such as sheet steel, glass or polished metal etc. that have shiny, reflective surfaces. The shiny surface could reflect the beam back at the operator.
  • Always turn the laser tool off when not in use. Leaving the tool on increases the risk of someone inadvertently staring into the laser beam
  • Do not attempt to modify the performance of this laser device in any way. This may result in a dangerous exposure to laser radiation.
  • Do not attempt to repair or disassemble the laser-measuring tool. If  unqualified persons attempt to repair this product, serious injury may occur. Any repair required on this laser product should be performed only by qualified service personnel.
  • Use of other accessories that have been designed for use with other laser tools could result in serious injury.
  • Do not operate the tool outdoors.
  • Do not place or store tool under extreme temperature conditions.
  • Do not operate the tool in explosive environments, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dusts. Sparks can be created in the tool which may ignite the dust or fumes.
  • Keep the tool away from cardiac pacemakers. The magnet inside the tool generates a field that can impair the function of cardiac pacemakers.
  • Keep the tool away from magnetic data medium and magnetically-sensitive equipment. The effect of the magnetic can lead to irreversible data loss.
  • Measurement may not be accurate if used beyond the rated range of the device.
  • The use of optical instruments with this product will increase eye hazard.
  • Always make sure any bystanders nearby aware of the dangers of looking directly into the measuring tool.
  • Do not use the laser viewing glasses as safety goggles, they do not protect eyes against laser radiation.
  • Always remove the batteries when cleaning the laser light aperture to laser lens.

UNPACKING

When unpacking the box, do not discard any packing materials until all of the contents are accounted for:

  • Self-Leveling Cross Line Laser Tool
  • 4 x AA alkaline batteries
  • Operator’s manual
  • Carefully lift the compact laser measuring tool out of the package  and place it on a stable, flat surface.

ASSEMBLY

INSERTING/REPLACING THE BATTERY

  • AA alkaline batteries are recommended for the measuring tool.
  • To open the battery compartment lid, press the latch and open it. Insert the batteries provided. Pay attention to the correct polarity of the batteries according to the representation on the metal plate inside the lid. Always replace all batteries at the same time. Only use batteries from one brand and with the identical capacity.
  • NOTE : Remove the batteries from the measuring tool when not using it for extended periods. When storing for extended periods, the batteries cancorrode and discharge themselves.

OPERATION

TO TURN THE COMPACT SELF-LEVELING CROSS LINE LASER ON AND OFF

  • The button is located on the top of the tool housing.
  • a. Press the button to turn the self-leveling 360° cross-line laser on.
  • WARNING: When turning on the tool, always be aware of protecting your eyes and the eyes of those around you. Never point the tool at anyone’s face, including your own.
  • b. To turn the tool off, press and hold the button 5 seconds.

LASER LINE PROJECTION MODES

The self-leveling 360-degree cross-line laser has three laser-projection modes. To select a specific laser projection mode, press the button until you get the desired projection mode. This laser tool defaults to the horizontal pattern mode when it is turned on.

To choose a projection mode, press the mode button:

  • a. Press the button once to select the horizontal laser line.
  • b. Press the button twice to select the vertical laser line.
  • c. Press the button three times to the cross-hair pattern (one  horizontal and two vertical lines).

LEVELING MODES

The self-leveling 360-degree cross line laser has two leveling modes: self- leveling mode and lock (manual) mode.

  • In self-leveling mode, the tool will level itself if it is within ±3° of horizontal.
  • a. Place the self-leveling 360-degree cross line laser on a flat, smooth surface that is within ±3° of horizontal.
  • b. Press the button until the desired laser-projection mode is achieved.
  • c. Slide the switch to the direction of the side. The self-leveling 360-degree cross line laser will automatically level within 4 seconds.
  • d. If the surface on which the self-leveling 360-degree cross line laser is placed exceeds ±3° from horizontal, the laser line will blink with
  • 5Hz frequency as an alarm. In this case, adjust the angle of the surface slightly.

LOCK (MANUAL) MODE

  • This mode cannot be used to perform horizontal or vertical leveling, because the laser lines are no longer self leveling. In this mode, the laser line will blink once every 3 seconds even it is within ±3° of horizontal.

a. Slide the switch to side and press the   button to turn on the laser. The laser lines are now locked and no longer functions self-leveling.
b. Press the button to change the laser-projection mode.
c. Slope the self-leveling cross laser to project a straight line for reference of your project.

USING WITH THE CLAMP, WALL MOUNT OR TRIPOD

  • At the bottom of the tool, a 1/4″-20 nut is located. Mount the tool to accessories like clamp, wall mount or tripod (not included) by assembling the tool nut with the 1/4″-20 screw on the accessories. With the accessories, the tool can work under various applications which makes jobs done easier.
  • Note : Make sure the tool can be assembled on the accessories without damage or interference to any part of the Self-leveling 360 cross-line laser or the accessories.

APPLICATIONS

The compact self-leveling cross line laser can be placed on the ground, mounted on a work bench/door frame etc. for point marking and simple alignment by sight, It is ideal for the following applications:

  • Hanging pictures, photos, or artwork on walls
  • Wallpapering and stencil work
  • Framing doors and windows
  • Installing electrical wiring and pipes
  • Mounting wall fixtures, electrical outlets, switches and lighting
