Introduction

The DEWALT DW085K 5-Beam Laser is an important tool for both professionals and do-it-yourselfers because it makes leveling and aligning jobs more accurate. This laser level has a unique five-beam design that makes it great for framing, drywall installation, and planning work because it projects bright horizontal and vertical lines. It has a self-leveling feature that makes sure measurements are correct to within ±4 degrees, so users can work without worrying about making adjustments by hand. As a result of being made to last on a tough job site, the DW085K has an IP54 grade for resistance to dust and water. The magnetic pivoting bracket is easy to use and gives you a lot of mounting choices. The micro adjust knob lets you get precise alignment over longer distances. Since it’s small and only weighs a little over two pounds, it’s easy to take to any job site. This laser is very accurate; at 100 feet, it stays within ±0.25 inches of the mark. In addition, it works for a long time on the four AA batteries that come in the package. The DEWALT DW085K is a good choice for anyone who wants a high-quality laser level because it comes with a three-year limited guarantee.

Features

Five Beam Design:
Projects both horizontal and vertical lines, allowing for precise leveling and alignment in various applications such as framing, drywall installation, and layout tasks.
Self-Leveling:
The laser automatically levels itself within ±4 degrees, ensuring that your measurements are accurate without the need for manual adjustments. This feature saves time and enhances reliability.
Durable Construction:
With an IP54 rating, the DW085K is resistant to dust and water, making it suitable for use in tough job site conditions. This durability ensures that the laser can withstand the rigors of construction environments.
Magnetic Bracket:
The included built-in magnetic pivoting bracket allows for easy attachment to metal surfaces, providing versatile mounting options and increasing usability on various job sites.
Visibility:
The laser emits bright and clear beams, which are easily visible even in bright lighting conditions. This enhances the user experience and allows for accurate readings in diverse environments.
Accuracy:
The self-leveling point laser level tool maintains an accuracy of 1/4 inch at 100 feet, ensuring that long-distance measurements remain precise.
Single Lever Power Switch:
The simple single-lever power switch not only powers the laser on and off but also locks the pendulum in the off position for added durability during transport and storage.
Micro Adjust Knob:
A micro-adjust knob allows for precise alignment of the 90-degree intersecting lines over greater distances. This feature is particularly useful for intricate projects requiring high precision.
Integrated Track Clearance:
This feature enables users to install bottom and top tracks quickly and easily, streamlining the setup process for wall framing and similar tasks.
Overmolded Housing:
The over-molded housing helps maintain calibration under job-site conditions, providing extra protection against impacts and vibrations.
Focused Laser Beam:
The focused laser beam keeps the dot size small over longer distances, which improves accuracy and visibility, making it easier to work on large projects.
Class II Laser:
The DW085K is classified as a Class II Laser with an output of less than 1.5 mW, ensuring safety for users while delivering effective performance.

Usage

Setup: Place the laser on a stable surface or attach it to a tripod.
Power On: Turn on the laser by pressing the power button.
Self-Leveling: Wait for the laser to self-level; the beams will be activated once level.
