- Attention: Do not look into the direct or reflected beam.
- Do not point the laser beam towards persons.
- If a person‘s eyes are exposed to class 2 laser radiation, they should shut their eyes and immediately move away from the beam.
- Under no circumstances should optical instruments (magnifying glass, microscope, binoculars) be used to look at the laser beam or reflections.
- Do not use the laser at eye level (1.40 … 1.90 m)
- Reflective, specular or shiny surfaces must be covered whilst laser devices are in operation.
- In public areas shield off the laser beam with barriers and partitions wherever possible and identify the laser area with warning signs.

Special product features
Electronic vials and positioning motors controlled by temperatur-estable
sensors for automatic alignment of devices. The device is brought into initial
position and aligns itself autonomously.
This function is automatically enabled when the sensor auto- matic is switched
on. This easily enables the horizontal or vertical levelling at a required
hight, for instance in connection with
a crank tripod or wall mount. Also, the laser can be used on vibrating
surfaces and in windy conditions.
Transport LOCK: The device is protected by a special motor brake during
transport.
GRX-READY technology enables line lasers to be used even in unfavourable light
conditions. The laser lines pulsate at a high frequency and this can be picked
up by special laser receiversover long distances.
Green laser technology
Laser modules in DLD design stand for high line quality as well as a clean and clear and therefore easily visible line image. Unlike previous generations they are more temperature-stable and energy efficient. Furthermore, the human eye has a higher sensitivity to the wave range of the green laser than the red laser, for example. This makes the green laser diode appear much brighter than the red one. Green lasers, especially in the DLD design, thus offer advantages with regards to how visible the laser line is under unfavourable conditions.

Use of lithium-ion rechargeable battery
Fully charge the battery before using for the first time. To charge the battery, place it in the supplied battery charger. Ensure the battery is inserted the right way round. When the rechargeable battery is being charged, the LED on the charger lights up red. When the LED changes to green, charging is complete. LEDs (17) and (18) flashing indicates that the battery charge level is low. The device switches off auto-matically when the battery charge is very low. In that case, recharge the battery.
- The battery may only be charged with the battery charger provided and used only in this laser device. Any other use may cause injury or fire.
- Make sure there are no conductive objects in the vicinity of the battery contacts. Short-circuiting of these contacts can cause burn injuries or fire.
- Do not open the rechargeable battery. This could cause short-circuits.
Power supply
- To insert the lithium-ion rechargeable battery Open the battery compartment and insert the lithium-ion battery as illustrated.
- Operation with power pack/battery charger The device can be used with the supplied power pack/battery charger.
- The battery is not charged when connected to the power supply.
Positioning laser lines
The adaptable metal base allows precise positioning of the laser lines.
- Undo threaded adapter lock screw (11)
- Remove 5/8“ threaded adapter (5) and screw the device into the 5/8“ thread (4) in the stand.
- Place the device with 5/8“ threaded adapter on the metal base and tighten the lock screw
To secure the device correctly it must snap into the groove (D).
Alignment with free-moving base
Alignment with vernier adjustment
Horizontal and vertical leveling
Switch the laser device on. The automatic sensor is now active and will level
the laser device automatically. As soon as device-levelling is completed and
the auto LED illuminates continuously, horizontal or vertical object levelling
can be carried out. Maximum accuracy is attained when device-levelling is
completed. Lasers can be switched on and off individually with the H or V
buttons (press buttons briefly).
- The laser lines flash when the device is outside the automatic levelling range of 2°. Position the device such that it is within the levelling range.
Slope function up to max. 2°
Activation of the slope function deactivates the automatic sensor. Press and hold button 14 (slope function ON) until the slope function LED (18) flashes rapidly. Motordriven adjustment of the slope can now be carried out. Press and hold the H or V button to adjust slope. When the lasers blink, the maximum slope range has been reached. Button 14 (pressed briefly) switches between axes. The slope function LED (18) flashes slowly.
- For the slope function, laser lines are no longer aligned to the horizontal or vertical plane. This is a specific peculiarity of adjusted laser lines. To reinstate horizontal or vertical levelling, deactivate the slope function. To do so, switch the device off and back on or keep button 14 (slope function ON) pressed until the laser lines move automatically.
Horizontal levelling adjustment up to a max. of 2° (X, Y axis)
-
Adjustment of the X axis up to a max. of 2°
The slope function LED (18) flashes rapidly.
-
Adjustment of the Y axis up to a max. of 2°
The slope function LED (18) flashes slowly.
Adjusting both axes
X axis: The slope function LED (18) flashes rapidly.
Y axis: The slope function LED (18) flashes slowly.
Adjust vertical slope, to a max. of 2° (X, Y axis)
Slope function > 2°
Steeper slopes can be set using the angle plate, which is available as an
optional extra (product ref. 080.75). To this end you need to use a crank
tripod, such as the 300 cm crank tripod P 300 cm, product ref. 080.39. Refer
to the illustrations below.
TIP: Set the angle plate to the zero position and allow the device to align
itself automatically. Then switch off the automatic sensor with button 14
(slope function ON). Finally, incline the device to the angle you require.
Slope adjustment > 2°
Hand receiver mode
Optional: Working with the laser receiver GRX
Use an GRX laser receiver (optional) to carry out levelling at great distances
or when the laser lines are no longer visible. To work with a laser receiver,
switch the line laser to hand-held receiver mode by keeping button 14 (hand-
held receiver mode on / off) pressed. The laser lines will now pulsate with
high frequency, making the laser lines darker. The laser receiver can detect
these pulsating laser lines.
- Observe the laser receiver‘s operating instructions for line lasers.
- Due to the special optics required to generate a continuous 360° laser line, the underlying technology may cause differences in brightness in different areas of the line. This may lead to different ranges in hand receiver mode.

Preparing the calibration check
It is possible for you to check the calibration of the laser. To do this,
position the device midway between 2 walls, which must be at least 5 metres
apart. Switch the device on (Laser cross ON). The best calibration results are
achieved if the device is mounted on a tripod.
-
Mark point A1 on the wall.
-
Turn the device through 180° and mark point A2. You now have a horizontal reference between points A1 and A2.
Performing the calibration check -
Position the device as near as possible to the wall at the height of point A1.
-
Turn the device through 180° and mark point A3. The difference between points A2 and A3 is the tolerance.
If points A2 and A3 are more than 0.15 mm / m, the device is in need of calibration. Contact your authorised dealer or else the UMAREX-LASERLINER Service Department.
Checking the vertical line
Position the device about 5 m from a wall. Fix a plumb bob with a line of 2.5
m length on the wall, making sure that the bob can swing freely. Switch on the
device and align the vertical laser to the plumb line. The precision is within
the specified tolerance if the deviation between the laser line and the plumb
line is not greater than ± 0.75 mm. Checking the horizontal line 2.5 m
Position the device about 5 m from a wall and B switch on the cross laser.
Mark point B on the wall. Turn the laser cross approx. 2.5 m to the right and
mark point C. Check whether the
horizontal line from point C is level with point B to within ± 0.75 mm. Repeat
the process by turning the laser to the left.
- Regularly check the calibration before use, after transport and after extended periods of storage.
