WARNING!
The goggles do not protect your eyes against the laser beam. It is only used
to increase the visibility of the laser beam.
Operations
Typical uses
Switching ON / Automatic mode
Check and adjust the laser beam to the previous working height. The H.I. alert
mode must be reactivated each time the laser is turned on.
The Elevation Alert or Height of The instrument function is designed to
prevent incorrect work caused by sudden movement or settling of the tripod
that would cause the
laser to level at a lower height.
Applications
Rotating
Button Functions – Upright Mode
Button Functions – Laydown Mode
Alignment applications Ceiling work
Attach the first ceiling profile. Mount the laser on the wall mount. Fix the wallmount on the ceiling profile. 
Switch on the laser. Adjust the height of the laser as needed. Use automatic
mode or H.I alert mode and allow the laser to self-level. Use the target plate
or receiver to level the ceiling grid hangers.
The layout or floor work
Laydown laser with a keypad on top. Roughly align the laser along the
reference wall. Switch on the laser. Use automatic mode or H.I. alert mode and
allow the laser to self-level. Use the remote to fine align the plumb laser
beam parallel to the wall. Mark laser lines on the ceiling, wall, and floor
accordingly. 
Move the laser to the next section. Repeat step one using existing marks as
reference. Fix drywall tracks.
Continue in the same way with the next drywall tracks.
Alignment applications Level fixing points
Switch on the laser. Adjust the height of the laser to a known benchmark for the fixing points. Use automatic mode or H.I. alert mode and allow the laser to self-level.
Water pipe assembly
Mount laser with the wall mounts to the wall. Switch to manual mode. Incline the laser beam to the reference.
Adjust the tube clamps to the laser beam.
Mount and fix the water pipe.
Alignment applications
Floor leveling
Switch on the laser. Use automatic mode or H.I. alert mode and allow the laser to self-level. Mount receiver with clamp on the staff. Pick up reference height. Adjust height needed for floors. Level supporting poles for floor.
Formwork leveling
Switch on the laser. Use automatic mode or H.I. alert mode and allow the laser
to self-level. Mount receiver with clamp on the staff. Pick up reference
height. Adjust height needed for formwork. Level and adjust formwork.
Checking the accuracy
Level accuracy
Place laser on a leveled tripod approximately 30 m from a wall. Align the
X-axis so that it is square to the wall. Switch on the laser. Use automatic
mode and allow the laser to self-level. Mark the position of the beam with the
receiver (Position 1).
Align the Y-axis by rotating the laser 90° so that this axis is square to the
wall. Allow the laser to self-level completely, and then mark the position of
the beam (Position 3).
Rotate the laser 180°, allow it to self-level and mark the opposite side of
the first axis (Position 2).
Rotate the laser 180°, allow it to self-level, and mark the position of the
beam (Position 4). The laser is within its accuracy specification if the four
marks are within ±3mm (± 1/8″) from the center.
Vertical accuracy
Place laser in lay down position on a flat, level surface, approximately 10 m
from a wall. Hang a plumb line on the wall. Switch on the laser. Use automatic
mode and allow the laser to self-level. Align the vertical beam to the plumb
line. Use scan operation to have the best visibility.
If the vertical beam is not plumb, adjustment is necessary. Should the laser
be outside of the specified tolerance, please contact a local dealer.
