Preparing for first use
Inserting / replacing batteries
- Switch off the product.
- Open the battery compartment 2 . Insert 2 batteries type 1.5 V , AAA or replace the used batteries with new ones. Insert the batteries with correct polarity (+ / –) in accordance with the battery arrangement 10 inscribed on the housing.
- Reclose the battery compartment 2 .
Note: If the laser beam is too weak or no longer visible, it is time to replace the batteries.
Setting up the product
You can use the product with or without a tripod. Follow the steps below to attach and align the product on the tripod:
-
Turn the tripod 3 with the threaded screw 3a completely into the threaded hole 14 on the underside of the housing. Make sure that the screw is tightened firmly and securely.
-
Fold out the legs of the tripod 3 .
-
Set the product on the tripod down on the desired surface and align it.
-
To align the product, first release the clamping screw 4 on the tripod 3 by screwing it anticlockwise.
-
Now turn and tilt the housing until the air bubbles in the bubble levels 1 and 5 are centrally positioned between the two line markings (see figure B).
Note: If the lighting conditions are inadequate, switch on the illumination for the bubbles using the illumination On/Off switch 8 . -
Then fix the position of the housing by tightening the clamping screw 4 on the tripod clockwise.
Note: If the position of the product has to be changed, you need to check whether the product requires to be aligned again. -
The tripod is not made for carrying loads. For that reason do not load anything onto the product when it is attached to the tripod.
-
Make sure not to bend the tripod’s legs.
Operation
WARNING: Do not look directly into the laser beam or into the laser aperture 6 . This can result in permanent eye damage if the eye’s natural reflex to close does not take place. If the laser beam strikes your eyes, close them immediately and turn your head out of the beam.
Use with the tripod
-
Set the product on the tripod down in the desired place and align it as described in the section “Setting up the product”.
-
Switch on the product with the laser beam On / Off switch 7 . The product projects two laser beams that intersect one another at right angles on to a wall.
Note: You may change the laser to a line format (“LINE“) or to cross- hatch format (“CROSS”) by sliding the switch 13. -
If the laser beam is not exactly at the required height, you can use a ruler or another suitable measuring product to mark vertical and horizontal points on the wall. To do this, remark the desired position on the wall at the calculated distance from the laser beam. Ensure that the measuring aid is absolutely vertical and use a spirit level if necessary.
Use without a tripod
-
Hold the product with the wide side to a wall.
-
Switch on the product by pressing the laser beam On / Off switch 7 .
Note : If the lighting conditions are inadequate, switch on the illumination for the bubbles using the illumination On/Off switch 8 . -
Align the product so that the air bubbles in the bubble levels 1 and 5 are centrally positioned between the two
line markings. -
A second person can now mark the desired points.
Note: The product has two magnets 11 .They allow you to attach the product to surfaces that attract magnetic objects, e.g. steel shelves. Electrostatic discharge could lead to functional errors. If such functional errors occur, remove the battery briefly and replace it again.
Maintenance, cleaning and care
Apart from replacing the batteries, the product is maintenance-free.
- Clean the outside of the product only with a soft, slightly moist cloth. Never use liquids or cleaning agents, as they may damage the product.
