Visual range will be decreased when Detector/Power save mode is activated. Power Save Mode is indicated when flashing laser output appears with approximately 30 minutes battery left.

Low Battery Indication

• To indicate low battery (about 30 minutes of battery life remaining*), the laser lines will flash:
  • In Unlocked – 3 times every 4 seconds
  • In Locked – 3 times every 8 seconds
• The low battery indicator flashing will continue until the batteries are removed and replaced.
• During self-leveling, the out-of-level indicator (flashing 3 times per second) will override the low battery indicator.
• NOTE: Battery life may vary by brand/age. Replace the batteries as soon as possible.

WARNING To reduce the risk of injury or damage, securely mount/attach the laser before starting an operation. Injury/damage may occur if the laser falls.

Mounting/Adjusting the Laser Level
The pivot bracket can be used to mount the laser level in multiple ways:

• Use the embedded magnets to secure the laser level to steel studs, steel beams, etc.
• Use the keyhole slot to hang the laser level on the wall with a nail or screw.
• Set the laser level on a flat surface.
• Position the laser and/or wall mount on a stable surface.
• Use the 1/4″-20 threaded insert to mount on a tripod.
• Once the level is mounted, use the micro adjustment knobs to fine tune the laser line.

OPERATION

WARNING To reduce the risk of injury or temporary effects on vision, do not look directly into the laser when it is on.

CAUTION
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
NOTICE Perform the Accuracy Field Check procedure immediately upon unboxing each new laser and before exposure to jobsite conditions. See “Accuracy Field Check” for information.

Turning On/Off

• To turn on the laser and unlock the pendulum, switch the On/Off to the desired position.
• WARNING Do not look directly into laser apertures. Horizontal level line will immediately be emitted from aperture in the laser housing.
• Turns ON the laser and unlocks the pendulum to enable self-leveling.
• Turns ON the laser but does not unlock the pendulum (self leveling is disabled). The laser lines will flash once every 8 seconds to indicate that the projected lines are not level or plumb.
• NOTICE The mode disables self leveling and therefore is  not intended for projecting a level or plumb line.
• Turns OFF the laser and locks the  pendulum. When not in use, turn off the tool and store the Laser Level in the protective carrying case.

Use the MODE button to cycle through the three laser modes:

1. Horizontal Mode
2. Vertical Mode
3. Cross Mode

Using the Laser Level

1. For best results, place the tool on a work surface that is:
2. sturdy
3. level (within 4 degrees of true level)
4. free of vibrations
5. 90° to the work area
6. Turn on the tool.
7. The tool will self-level when placed on surfaces within 4 degrees of true level when switch is unlocked and
8. The tool is ready once the emitted lines are continuous and no longer moving on the work surface.
9. If the tool cannot achieve a level state (i.e., the work surface is > 4 degrees off true level), the laser beams will flash rapidly (3 flashes per second). Relocate or adjust the work surface.

Troubleshooting

• If the tool does not turn on:
  • Ensure batteries are installed properly.
  • Ensure batteries are good.
  • Ensure the tool’s internal temperature is within specified operating ranges. If stored in excessive heat or cold, allow at least 2 hours to acclimate to ambient temperature before turning on the tool.
• If problem persists, please return the laser to an authorised MILWAUKEE® service centre.

ACCURACY FIELD CHECK

NOTICE Perform the Accuracy Field Check procedure immediately upon unboxing each new laser and before exposure to jobsite conditions. Should any deviation from listed product accuracy be found, please contact an authorised MILWAUKEE® service centre. Failure to do so could result in rejection of warranty claim.

Influences on Accuracy

• Ambient temperature gradients can impact laser accuracy. For accurate and repeatable results, the following procedure should be conducted with the laser elevated off the ground and placed in the centre of the working area.
• Abusive treatment of the Laser Level, such as excessive impacts from drop, can also lead to deviations in product accuracy.
• Therefore, it is recommended to conduct the Field Check procedure after any impact or before completing any critical jobs.
• NOTE: Accuracies and leveling times are measured at ambient temperatures (20°C). Use of the tool at extreme temperatures (even within the operating temperature range) may negatively impact these specifications.

Horizontal Height Accuracy
A free measuring distance of approximately 20 m on a firm surface between two walls or structures A and B is required for this check. It is also suggested to mount the Laser Level to a Tripod for easy adjustment.

1. Securely mount the tool within 0.3 m of wall A.

2. Turn the tool to and press the mode button 3 times.

3. Direct the front laser beam against wall A and allow to self-level. Mark the centre of the laser cross on the wall (point I).

4. Rotate the tool 180° without changing the height, allow it to self-level, and mark the centre of the laser cross on the opposite wall B (point II).

5. Move the tool within 0.3 m of wall B. Allow the laser to self level. Align the laser cross in the general direction of point II on wall B.
   

6. Adjust the height of the tool (using the tripod or by adding shims, if required) to align the laser cross directly onto point II on wall B. Allow the tool to self-level.

7. Rotate the tool 180° without changing the height, allow it to self-level, and mark the centre of the laser cross on wall A (point III). Point III should be aligned as vertically above or below point I on wall A as possible.

8. The distance between points I and III on wall A is the height deviation (d) of the tool. This distance should not exceed 3.2 mm (max.) at 10 m (12.8 mm at 40 m).
   For the Measuring distance of 2 x 20 m = 40 m, the maximum allowable deviation (d) is: 40 m x ±3.2 mm ÷ 10 m = ±12.8 mm.

Horizontal Leveling Accuracy

• A free measuring space of approximately 10 m x 10 m on a firm surface between two walls or structures A and B is required for the check.
• It is also suggested to mount the Laser Level to a Tripod for easy adjustment.
• Securely mount the tool on one side of the room and centred between walls A and B. Direct the laser lines toward the other side of the room such that the horizontal line appears on both walls A and B. Allow the laser to Self-Level.

1. Turn the tool to
2. At a distance of 5 m from the laser, mark the centre of the horizontal line on Wall A (Point I). Do the same on Wall B (Point II).
3. Move the Laser 10 m toward the opposite wall and rotate the laser 180°. Allow the laser to Self-Level.
4. Adjust the height of the tool (using the tripod or by adding shims, if required) such that the centre of the horizontal line is projected exactly against the previously marked point II on wall B. Ensure the Laser is self-leveled after alignment.
5. Mark the centre of horizontal line on wall A (point III). Take care that point III is aligned as vertical as possible above or below point I.
6. The distance d between marked points I and III on wall A indicates the actual deviation (d) of the tool.
7. For the Measuring distance of 2 x 10 m = 20 m, the maximum allowable deviation (d) is: 20 m x ±3.2 mm ÷ 10 m = ±6.4 mm. Thus, the difference d between points I and III should not exceed 6.4 mm (max.) at 20 m.

Vertical Leveling Accuracy
A free measuring distance of approximately 2.4 m on a firm surface between two walls or structures A and B is required for this check. It is also suggested to mount the Laser Level to a Tripod for easy adjustment.

1. Securely mount the tool 2.4 m from one side of the door opening.
2. Turn the tool to and press the mode button 2 times.
3. Position the tool with the laser towards the door opening. Allow the tool to self-level.
4. Mark the centre of the vertical laser line on the floor in the middle of the door opening (point I), at a distance of 2.4 m beyond the door opening (point II), and at the upper edge of the door opening (point III).
5. Move the laser level directly behind point II on the other side of the door. Align the vertical laser line so the centre is directly aligned with points I and II.
6. Mark the centre of the vertical line at the upper edge of the door opening (point IV).
7. Measure the height of the door opening.
8. The distance between points III and IV on the upper door opening is the vertical deviation (d) of the tool.
9. The maximum vertical deviation (d) is: d max = 2 X H (door opening) x ±3.2 mm ÷ 10 m Example: for a door opening height of 2.1 m, the maximum permitted deviation (d) is:
   d max = 2 x 2.1 m x ±3.2 mm ÷ 10 m = ±1.3 mm Therefore, the measurement between points III and IV on the upper door opening should not exceed 1.3 mm in a 2.1 m doorway.
