Inserting the Battery

1. Twist the battery cap and remove.
2. Line up the arrow on the battery with the arrow in the compartment and fully insert the battery.
3. Replace the cap and twist to secure.

Charging the Battery

When the tool is turned on under battery power only, the remaining battery life is indicated:

Green Solid: 50-100% remaining
Yellow Solid: 11-49% remaining
Red Solid: 3-10% remaining

To indicate low battery level, the laser beams will blink quickly 3 times, followed by 4 seconds of solid on (repeating). Charge the battery.

To charge the battery with laser powered off.

1. Connect your USB cable to a suitable power source such as an AC USB wall adaptor, computer, or car USB outlet.
2. Lift the rubber cover to expose the micro USB port. Insert the micro USB plug into the micro USB port. Users may experience longer charge times from laptops and other power sources.
3. The indicator light will display the charging status: Pulsing Red: Charging, 0-49% charged Pulsing Yellow: Charging, 50-99% charged Solid Green: 100% Charged. To charge the battery with laser in use, follow steps1-2 listed in the section above. The indicator light will display the charging status:  Pulsing Red (Continuous) Upon removal of USB cable, fuel gauge will display current battery life. To charge the battery while continuing to use the laser, follow steps1-2 listed in the section above. The indicator light will pulse Red indicating charing is occurring. When the USB cable is removed from the tool, the fuel gauge will indicate the current charge status of the inserted battery. Flashing Red/Green: If the indicator light flashes Red/Green continuously, the battery is either not inserted correctly; too hot or too cold; or the battery is faulty or damaged. Check that the battery is fully seated into the bay. Remove the battery and reinsert. If the light continues to flash red and green, the battery may be too hot or too cold, or damaged. Allow the battery to cool down or warm up (as appropriate) and then reinsert. If the problem persists, contact a MILWAUKEE® service facility.

WARNING

Using the Laser Level

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

Troubleshooting

If the tool does not turn on;

• Ensure battery is installed properly. Fuel gauge should indicate remaining charge when correctly installed.
• Ensure battery is charged
• Ensure the tool’s internal temperature is within  specified operating ranges. If stored in excessive heat or cold, allow at least 2 hours to an appropriate ambient temperature between -10°C to 40°C before turning on the tool.

If problem persists, please contact a MILWAUKEE® service facility for support.

ACCURACY FIELD CHECK

NOTICE

Perform the Accuracy Field Check procedure immediately upon unboxing each new Laser Level and before exposure to jobsite conditions. See “Accuracy Field Check” for information. Should any deviation from listed product accuracy be found, please contact a MILWAUKEE® service facility. 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 repeated or high drops, can also lead to deviations in product accuracy. Therefore it is recommended to conduct the Accuracy Field Check procedure after any impact or before completing any critical jobs.

Horizontal Leveling Accuracy
A free measuring distance of approximately 20m on a firm surface between two walls or structures (indicated as ‘A’ and ‘B’ below) is required for this check.
It is also suggested to mount the Laser Level to a an appropriate tripod for easy adjustment

1. Securely mount the tool within 30cm of wall ‘A’ as shown below.

2. Turn the tool ON.

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

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

5. Move the tool within 30cm 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 centre point of the laser beam 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 point of the laser beam 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 3.18mm (max.) at 10m (12.72mm at 40m). For the Measuring distance of 2 x 20m = 40m, the maximum allowable deviation (d) is: 40m x ±3.18mm ÷ 10m = ±12.72mm

Vertical Leveling Accuracy

A free measuring distance of approximately 5m between floor and ceiling on a firm surface is required for this check.

1. Draw a straight line on the ceiling to use as a reference line.

2. Securely mount the tool within 30cm of the floor

3. Turn the tool   ON

4. Position the tool so that the bottom plumb point can be seen on the floor and the centre of the top plumb point is located on the reference line on  the ceiling. Allow the tool to self-level.

5. Mark the centre of the top plumb point with the reference line on the ceiling (point I). Also, mark the centre of the bottom plumb point on the floor (point II).

6. Rotate the tool 180°. Align the centre point of the laser beam dirctly onto the floor point it. Position the tool to align the centre of the top plumb point onto the reference line on the ceiling. It may be necessary to rotate the tool slightly to align. Allow the tool to self-level

7. Mark the centre of the top plumb point on the reference line on the ceiling (point III).
   

8. The distance between points I and III on the ceiling is the deviation (d) of the tool. This  distance should not exceed 3.18mm (max.) at 10m. For the Measuring distance of 2 x 5m =  10m, the maximum allowable deviation (d) is: 10m x ± 3.18mm ÷ 10m = ± 3.18mm
