If you want to use the laser in plumb (vertical) mode, carefully
turn the laser so the keypad is at the top (Figure
H 2
). The
Dot rotates down to 6 o’clock. Press to make sure the laser
rotates.
5 .
Adjust the rotation speed and controls, as desired (Figure
P
).
NOTE:
The laser will be easier to set up for wall applications if the
rotation speed is set to 0RPMs and the remote control is used
to line up the laser with control marks. The remote allows one
person to set up the laser.
Using the Laser With a Laser Detector
How the Detector works
Some laser kits include a D
e
WALT Digital Laser Detector. The
D
e
WALT Digital Laser Detector allows you to locate a laser beam
emitted by a rotary laser in bright light conditions or over long
distances.
• The detector can be used in both indoor and outdoor situations
where it is difficult to see the laser beam.
• The detector is not for use with non-rotating lasers but is
compatible with most rotary red-beam (DCE080RS) and green
beam (DCE080GS) lasers.
• The detector can be set to indicate the location of the beam to
either the nearest 2mm (5/64") or the nearest 1mm (3/64").
• The detector gives both visual signals through the display window
(Figure
F
6
) and audio signals through the speaker (Figure
F 5
) to indicate the location of the laser beam.

• The D
E
WALT Digital Laser Detector can be used with or without
the detector clamp. When used with the clamp, the detector can be
positioned on a grade rod, leveling pole, stud, or post (Figure
G
).
To connect the detector to the clamp:
• Push in the clamp latch (Figure
G 3
).
• Slide the tracks on the clamp (Figure
G 4
) around the rail on
the back of the detector (Figure
F 11
) until the button (Figure
G 5
) on the clamp snaps into the latch hole on the back of
the detector (Figure
F
12
).
• Turn the clamp knob (Figure
G
6
) counterclockwise to open
the jaws on the clamp.
• Place the clamp on the rod (Figure
G 2
) so that the detector
is positioned at the height needed to work with the laser.
• Turn the clamp knob (Figure
G 6
) clockwise to secure the
clamp on the rod.
Using the Detector
1.
Set up and position the rotary laser that you will be using
according to the manufacturer’s directions. Turn the laser on and
make sure the laser is rotating and emitting a laser beam.
2.
Press the power button once on the detector to turn the detector
on.
3.
On the bottom of the display window, notice the speaker icon
(Figure
F 10
).
• To decrease the volume of the audible signal, press the volume
button (Figure
F 4
); both half circles next to the speaker icon
(Figure
F 10
) will dissappear.
• To turn off the audible signal, press the volume button (Figure
F 4
) until the speaker icon dissapears from the display
window.
