6. set up the laser in a hanging position by means of the hole of the wall mount
7. connect the laser to a column by means of the fixing strap
8. set up the laser on the floor direct
   

• Minimum laser plane distance to floor 8 mm
• Minimum laser plane distance to wall 6 mm

POWER ON
Power on the laser by turning the ON/OFF knob in position ON. The instrument is now ready for use. An audible and optical (blinking lines) alarm indicates if the instrument was set up outside of the compensator range. Set up the instrument on a more even surface.
To power the instrument off turn the ON/OFF knob back to the OFF position. The instrument is now powered off.
