Mounting Bracket
Some laser kits include a mounting bracket, which can be used for
attaching the tool to a track or to a ceiling grid to aid in acoustical
ceiling installation. Follow the directions below for using the mounting
bracket.
CAUTION:
Before attaching the laser level to wall track or ceiling
angle, be sure that the track or angle is properly
secured.
1.
Place the laser on the mounting base (Figure
P 5
) aligning the
5/8–11 screw hole on the tripod adapter (Figure
G 1
), attached
to the bottom of the laser with the hole (Figure
P 6
) in the
mounting base.
2.
Turn the mounting knob (Figure
P 3
) to secure the laser.
3.
With the bracket's measuring scale (Figure
P 7
) facing you,
loosen the clamp locking knob (Figure
P 8
) to open the clamp
jaws.
4.
Position the clamp jaws around the wall track or ceiling angle
and tighten the clamp locking knob (Figure
P 8
) to close the
clamp jaws onto the track. Be sure that the clamp locking knob
is securely tightened before proceeding.
CAUTION:
Always use a ceiling wire hanger or equivalent material,
in addition to the clamp locking knob, to help secure
the laser level while mounting it to a wall. Thread the
wire through the handle of the laser level. DO NOT
thread the wire through the protective metal cage.
Additionally, screws may be used to fasten the bracket
directly to the wall as a backup. Screw holes
(Figure
P 9
) are located at the top of the bracket .
5.
Using the base leveling knob (Figure
P 2
) approximate a level
position from the wall.
6.
The tool can be adjusted up and down to the desired height for
working. While supporting the mounting base, loosen the locking
knob on the left side of the bracket (Figure
P
1
).
7.
Turn the adjustment knob on the right side of the bracket (Figure
P 4
) to move the laser level up and down to set your height.
Use the measuring scale (Figure
P 7
) to pinpoint your mark.
NOTE: It may be helpful to turn the power on and turn the
rotary head so that it puts a dot on one of the laser scales. The
D
E
WALT target card is marked at 1–1/2" (38 mm), so it may be
easiest to set the offset of the laser to 1–1/2" (38 mm) below
the track.
8.
Once you have positioned the laser at the desired height, tighten
the locking knob (Figure
P 1
) to maintain this position.
Construction Grade Rod
DANGER:
NEVER attempt to use a grade rod in a storm or near
overhanging electric wires. Death or serious personal injury
will occur.
Some laser kits include a grade rod. The D
e
WALT Grade Rod is
marked with measurement scales on both sides and is constructed in
telescoping sections. A spring-loaded button actuates a lock to hold
the grade rod at various lengths.
The front of the grade rod has the measurement scale starting at the
bottom. Use this for measuring from the ground up when grading or
leveling jobs.
