WARNINGS
To ensure safe operation and service of the instrument, follow these
instructions. Failure to observe these warnings can result in serious personal
injury, fi re, or electrical shock. Retain these instructions
for future reference.
WARNING: LASER RADIATION. DO NOT STARE INTO BEAM. Class II Laser.
- Exposing eyes to laser radiation can result in severe and permanent eye injuries. NEVER look directly into the laser beam emitted by this instrument.
- Do not use the instrument if it appears to be damaged.
- Do not modify the instrument in any way, as to do so could result in emission of hazardous laser radiation than could result in severe eye injuries .
- Do not use optical equipment such as lenses, prisms, optical scopes, etc. to transmit, retransmit, or view the laser beam as this could result in severe eye injuries.
- This product should not be used by untrained operators or operators who have not read and fully understood the instructions.
- This product should not be used in any location that could result in somebody looking at or having their eyes inadvertently irradiated by the laser beam as this could result in severe eye injuries.
- The instrument should be powered off following use to minimize the risks of inadvertently exposure to hazardous laser radiation that could result in severe eye injuries.
- Do not remove warning labels from this instrument as this could result in serious personal injury and increases the risk of exposure to hazardous laser irradiation.
- The instrument should be securely located in a tidy work environment prior to operation as unexpected drops or movement of the instrument may result in damage to the instrument and increases the risk of inadvertent exposure to laser radiation that could result in severe eye injuries.
- This instrument is IP54 dust & water-resistant. Following any contact with water, thoroughly dry the instrument with a dry, lint-free cloth.
- There are no user-serviceable parts in this instrument.

SYMBOLS ON INSTRUMENT
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
TURNING LASER BEAMS ON/OFF
Push the ON/OFF buttons for horizontal line 1 , vertical line 2 , and plumb
spot 3 to turn ON and OFF their respective laser lines. These buttons are only
active once the Pendulum Lock/Unlock Slider Switch 6 has been set to the
Unlocked position. If the Pendulum Slider Switch is moved from the Unlocked to
the Locked position while the laser beams are active, they will be turned OFF.
The different laser lines can be operated independently or simultaneously.
NOTE: The plumb spot application projects laser beams both in upward and downward directions. The downward beam may be used to locate a specific point on a floor layout while the upward beam projects that same point to a ceiling.
PENDULUM SLIDER SWITCH & SELF-LEVELING
The laser assemblies are mounted on a pendulum so that the instrument can
self-level. The Pendulum Slider Switch 6 must be in the unlocked position for
the instrument to be self-level. If the instrument is tilted by >4° from the
horizontal plane, the pendulum will not be capable of self-leveling; the
active laser beams will flash and the Excessive Tilt Indicator 5 will blink to
indicate that the instrument is not level and cannot self-level. The
instrument must be repositioned on a more level geometry for the self-Leveling
pendulum to function appropriately.
NOTE: If the instrument indicates that it is not level (via flashing beams and/or a blinking Excessive Tilt indicator 5 ), then it should not be used for laying out level or plumb lines.
NOTE: The following use, the active laser beams must be turned OFF and the Pendulum Slider Switch must be placed in the Locked position prior to storage.
MAGNETIC MOUNTING BRACKET 14
The instrument is attached to a magnetic mounting bracket. The bracket may be
magnetically attached to any magnetic structure such as steel studs, ducts,
structural beams, and steel doors. The bracket also features a key-hole for
mounting the instrument using a screw or nail to non-magnetic structures. Once
mounted to a structure via the mounting bracket the instrument can be rotated
on the bracket through 360° to direct the laser beams.
CLAMP-ON WALL ADAPTER 16
The clamp-on wall adapter may be clamped to a structural beam, or wall bracket
for suspended ceiling installations, to present a steel surface onto which the
instrument’s magnetic mounting bracket may be attached. Once magnetically
attached the instrument may be positioned to deliver the laser line at the
required location. The clamp-on adapter also features a key-hole for mounting
the instrument using a screw or nail.
VERIFYING ACCURACY OF LASER LINES
Horizontal Beam Left/Right Tilt
Secure instrument via its mounting bracket at a distance x from a vertical
wall structure as shown. Rotate the instrument on the bracket to the left so
that the right side of the beam is projected on the wall directly across from
the instrument, mark the vertical location on the wall. Rotate the instrument
to the right and repeat marking the vertical location of the left side of the
beam. At ~33′ (10 m) the vertical distance d between the left-side and right-
side markings should be ≤ 5/32″ (4 mm). For example, if x is set to 15′ (4.6
m), the vertical distance d should be ≤3/32″ (2 mm).
WALL
Horizontal Beam Out-of-Plane Tilt
Position the instrument parallel to a wall and project a beam along the wall,
from left to right as shown. Mark two locations (a, b) along the beam
separated by distance x. Position the laser at the other side of the wall and
project the beam back through mark b, from right to left as shown, and mark
position c. If x is 30′ (9.1 m), then the vertical distance d should be ≤
5/32″ (4 mm). For example, if x is set to 15′ (4.6 m), then the vertical
distance d should be ≤ 3/32″ (2 mm).
Vertical Beam Tilt
Position the instrument on the floor and project a vertical beam along a line
x of about 6′ (1.9 m). Mark point a on the ceiling. Position the instrument on
the other side of the line and repeat marking point b on the ceiling. The
distance d should be ≤5/32″ (4 mm) for a 33′ (10 m) ceiling or ≤3/32″ (2 mm)
for a 15′ (4.6 m) ceiling.
Plumb Spot
Position instrument on the floor and project a spot with the plumb spot laser
to the ceiling. Rotate the laser by 180° and project the exact same spot to
the ceiling. The distance d should be ≤1/4″ (6mm) for a 33′ (10m) ceiling or
≤1/8″ (3mm) for a 15′ (4.6m) ceiling.
CEILING
MAINTENANCE
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
When the Battery Status Indicator 4 is illuminated red, the batteries must be
replaced.
- Open the battery compartment door 11 .
- Remove and recycle three spent AA batteries.
- Install new batteries (note proper polarity).
- The close battery compartment, ensures that it is securely shut.
CLEANING
Be sure laser level is turned off and wipe with a clean, dry lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
STORAGE
Remove the batteries when the instrument is not in use for a prolonged period of time. Do not expose to high temperatures or humidity. After a period of storage in extreme conditions exceeding the limits mentioned in the General Specifications section, allow the laser level to return to normal operating conditions before using.
