Setting up the tool (fi g. C1 - C4)
The tool facilitates various set-ups, making it useful for
several applications.
Floor set-up
• Place the tool on a relatively smooth and level
surface.
Wall set-up (fi g. C1)
The keyhole (12) in the pivot bracket (8) is used for
mounting to wall constructions. Alternatively, the tool can
be attached to metal studs directly using the magnets
(13).
•
Drive a screw or nail into the wall.
• Hang the tool onto the fastener by the keyhole.
Fitting the tool to the wall mount (fi g. C2 - C4)
The tool has been equipped with a wall mount (9) for
mounting to wall track to aid in drop ceiling installation and
other specialty leveling projects. The pivot bracket (8) has
magnets to attach the tool to the wall mount.
•
Align the magnets (13) with the metal plate on the
wall mount (9).
• To remove the wall mount, pull the wall mount from
the tool applying suffi cient force.
To fi t the wall mount to wall track, proceed as follows:
•
Open the clamp jaws (14).
• Place the clamp jaw around the wall track and
release the clamp to close the clamp jaws shut on
the track.
To mount the wall mount to a wall, proceed as follows:
•
Hold the tool at the desired position against the wall
and mark the location of the mounting hole on the
wall.
• Drill a hole at the marked location.
• Insert a corresponding plug into the hole.
• Hold the tool in front of the plug.
• Turn a screw into the mounting hole (15).
Adjusting the tool
• To initiate the leveling procedure, switch on the
tool. The level and/or plumb orientation is correctly
adjusted as long as the laser beams remain on.
• The laser beams start fl ashing to indicate that the tool
has been set up at a slope that is beyond the self-
leveling range of 4°. Switch the tool off, re-adjust the
tool set-up within the self-leveling range and switch
the tool on again.
Aligning the laser line (fi g. D)
• Align the laser line of either one of the laser beams
with the position mark. Move the tool as required.
Instructions for use
Always observe the safety instructions and
applicable regulations.
• Always mark the centre of the laser dots.
• Make sure the tool has been set up securely.
• Extreme temperature changes cause movement
of internal parts that may affect the accuracy of the
tool. Regularly check the accuracy while using the
tool under these circumstances.
• Although the tool corrects small out-of-level errors
automatically, when it is bumped, re-adjustment to
balance or set-up may be required.
• If the tool has been dropped or has tipped over,
check whether there is damage by performing the
fi eld calibration checks. See “Maintenance”.
Switching on and off (fi g. A)
The tool has separate switches to operate the vertical
laser line and the horizontal laser line.
•
To switch the vertical laser beam (4) on, press the
on/off switch (1).
• To switch the horizontal laser beam (5) on, press the
on/off switch (2).
• To switch either laser beam off, press the on/off switch
again.
Transferring a position mark (fi g. D)
The tool produces two laser lines in horizontal and in
vertical direction, to transfer a mark.
•
Align the relevant laser beam with the mark.
Rotating the tool (fi g. E)
When in wall set-up, the tool can be rotated manually to
transfer the horizontal laser line.
•
Rotate the tool to the left or right as required.
Optional accessories
Consult your dealer for further information on the
appropriate accessories.
Maintenance
Your BTI power tool has been designed to operate over
a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance.
Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper
tool care and regular cleaning.
Field calibration check (fi g. F - H)
The fi eld calibration check must be performed securely
and accurately to make a correct diagnosis. Whenever an
error is registered, have the tool serviced by a qualifi ed
repair agent.
