SPECIFICATIONS

The TB-H2-LL-30-L2 Cross Laser Level is an up-to-date multi-prism tool designed for checking horizontal and vertical lines in an Indoor environment.

Measuring Accuracy depends on the current conditions: Under favorable conditions (good target surface and room temperature) up to 30 ft (9.2 m). Under unfavorable conditions (bright sunlight, a very weak reflecting target surface, or large temperature fluctuations), the error can increase by ± 0.003 in/ft (± 0.25 mm/m) for distances over 30 ft (9.2 m).

SOME INTENDED USES

• DO NOT force any component to do a job. If it does not move, there might be a reason.

OPERATION

GENERAL INFORMATION: Product controls identification:

1. Cross Laser Output
2. Pendulum Switch Lock/Unlock
3. Battery Charge Level Indicator LED
4. Pendulum Lock Indicator LED
5. ON/OFF Push Button
6. Battery Compartment Latch
7. Tripod Mount
8. Dovetail Mount Bracket

Out of the box, the very first thing you must do is verify calibration of the tool.
A laser level that is not calibrated and level itself is of no use. Thereafter, to safeguard your investment and work, you should always verify the calibration, as outlined below:

CAUTION! ANYTIME the tool is to be moved, MAKE SURE that the pendulum is in its LOCKED position.

CAUTION! When moving the tool from a warm environment into a cool environment, moisture may accumulate on the reflective glasses. Allow the tool to stabilize to the new environment first. DO NOT turn on a wet or damp tool. To wipe the Laser Reflector, use ONLY a lint-free cloth. DO NOT USE A PAPER TOWEL.
Before replacing the batteries, make sure that the Pendulum is in the LOCKED position, and the power is turned off.

DANGER: LASER IN OPERATION TRAINED PERSONNEL ONLY

To open the battery cover, push the battery compartment latch (6) and lift the cover slightly. Pull the lid away from the compartment until the two securing pins on the lid are clear of the case. The positive pole of all three batteries should face the same direction, towards the topside of the compartment (see + markings in the compartment). Insert the first battery in the center, well above the removal band. Next, fold the band over the battery and insert the remaining two batteries. While holding the end of the band down, insert the lid-alignment pins into the compartment edge and close the lid. Make sure the latch snaps in place, indicating that the lid is secured.

Position and secure the Cross Level Laser on a leveled tripod, pedestal or the Dovetail Slide Mount (8) . (DO NOT overtighten the mounting screw).

WARNING! Do not position the tool at eye level.

With the Pendulum Switch (2) in the Locked position, Push the ON button to activate the laser. Adjust the height of the tool to the vicinity of your required height. Slide the Pendulum-lock Switch (2) towards the front of the tool. The laser beam will be activated and may fluctuate at first. Allow time for the self leveling system to stabilize within its self-leveling range of ±3.5° degrees.
When the laser beam stops fluctuating, the system is ready for use.

Should the laser beam keep fluctuating, it is an indication that the tool is tilted beyond its self-leveling limits. It may also be an indication of low battery power.

PLEASE NOTE: Green Laser expands as the distance between the tool and the target increases. Therefore, always take measurements in the center of the beam.
Before and during work intervals, wipe the laser lens with a lint-free cloth. Dirt on the reflector surface may cause laser deflection and cause false readings.

IMPORTANT REMINDER! At the beginning of each job, mark an index point. All future measurements will be based on that index point.

CALIBRATION PROCEDURES:

First step to verify LEVEL (Horizontal) laser beam calibration

To verify the calibration, use a large room (at least 12 x 16 ft.).

1. At the long end of the room, place the Laser Level one foot from side wall “A” and 8 feet from the facing wall. Slide the Pendulum Switch (2) to the UNLOCK position. Allow a few seconds for the pendulum to stabilize.

2. Cut four strips of painter’s blue tape or masking tape each piece about two-inches long. Adhere the tape strips onto the walls over the laser beam at locations A, B, C and D.

3. Using a ruler, scribe a line at the center of the laser beam on each piece of tape. Scribe lines underneath the laser beam on the remaining three strips of tape.

4. Slide the Pendulum Switch (2) to the LOCK position. Relocate the tool across the room and position it one foot from the wall at position “D” at same distance from the front wall as in the previous step. Slide the Pendulum Switch (2) to the UNLOCK position and wait until the beam stabilizes. Adjust the height of the tool tool the laser beam is centered on the pre-prescribed line at position “D”.

5. Inspect the laser beam impression on all four strips of tape. Scribe a line at beam center and beam underside on all each piece of tape. If the
   distance-variation between the two lines is less than the specified accuracy of ± 5/16 in @ 30 ft (7.95 mm at 9.14 m), the tool is within the required calibration specifications and is ready for use. NOTE: ± 5/16 in @ 30 ft (7.95 mm at 9.14 m) the level laser beam is calibrated.

6. For slope alignment, the pendulum should be in the LOCKED position.
   Press the ON/OFF (5) switch to activate the laser beam. You can safely tilt the tool. Please note that in the LOCKED position, the laser beam will flash once every 5 seconds.

Second step is to verify the PLUMP (Vertical) laser beam calibration
An 8 ft clear floor space is required for this procedure.

A door jamb is ideal for this leg of the procedures. It eliminates the requirement of accessing the ceiling for calibration verification, and the use of a ladder.
However, if a ladder is to be used, please refer to the ladder manufacturer’s instructions for its use, safety and precautions. When using door jamb for this leg of the operation, identify a plump spot on the floor and mark it with a painter’s tape for future reference.

1. Place the Laser Level on the floor and push the Power Buttom (5) (Pendulum stays in LOCKED position for now). Make sure to see a solid laser line on the floor. If the floor surface is reflective, laser beam may not easily be seen. In this case, adhere a 6 ft long painter’s blue tape on the floor, in front of the beam.

2. Slide the Pendulum Switch (2) to the UNLOCK position and allow time for the beam to stabilize. Use a marker and draw a 1 in long line in the center of the beam in front of the tool.

3. Walk to the other side and draw a 1 in long line at the center of the laser beam at the other end of the tape.

4. Cut a 2 in long strip of painter’s blue tape. Draw a solid 1 in long line at the center of the tape strip. Place this tape strip over the laser beam on top of the door jamb or the ceiling. The drawn line should coincide with the center of the laser beam.

5. Slide the Pendulum Switch (2) to the LOCK position.

6. Relocate the tool to the opposite side and place it at the adge of the Painter’s blue tape. Slide the Pendulum Switch (2) to the UNLOCK position and allow time for the beam to stabilize.

7. Align the beam with the two pre-scribed lines on the tapes. Inspect the beam position and the scribed line on the overhead tape. Measure the
   distance between the scribed line and current beam (center of the beam) and if the deviation is withing the tolerances, the Plumb (vertical) laser is also within the calibration limits.

8.  The tool is ready for use.

CLEANING

Before and after each use, thoroughly inspect the tool for any damage.
IMPORTANT! DO NOT use a damaged tool.

After completion of each work cycle, or at the end of the day, slide the Pendulum Switch (2) to its LOCKED position.

If the tool is soiled, wipe with a damp cloth. DO NOT USE CHEMICALS. Laser reflectors should be wiped with a lint-free cloth only. DO NOT USE PAPER TOWEL.

MAINTENANCE

• DO NOT allow the tool to the tool get wet. Damage to internal circuits may result.

• DO NOT allow this tool to get wet. This tool is not waterproof.

• DO NOT leave tool in direct sunlight or expose it to high temperatures.
  The housing and some internal parts are polymeric materials and may become deformed at high temperatures.

• DO NOT store the tool in a cold environment. Moisture may form on interior parts when warming up. This moisture could fog up laser windows and/or cause corrosion of internal circuit boards.
  NOTE: When working in dusty locations, some dirt may collect on the laser window. Remove moisture or dirt with a soft, dry cloth. DO NOT use paper towel.

• DO NOT use aggressive cleaning agents or solvents.
