Charging the Li-ion Battery
1.
If the D
e
WALT 12V/18V Li-ion battery pack is
attached to the laser, remove it.
• While pressing down on the release button on
the battery pack (Figure
B 1
), pull the battery
pack up to unlock it from the laser.
• Pull the battery pack the rest of the way up and
out of the laser (Figure
B 2
).
2.
Plug the charger cord into an electrical outlet.
3.
Slide the battery pack into the charger until it snaps
in place (Figure
A 1
). On the charger, the left
indicator light will flash to let you know the battery
is being charged.
4.
After the battery is fully-charged (the indicator light
on the charger no longer flashes), press and hold
the release button on the battery pack
(Figure
A 2
) and slide the pack out of the charger
(Figure
A 3
).
5.
Slide the battery pack down in the laser until it
snaps in place (Figure
A 4
).
Viewing the Battery Meter
When the laser is ON, the battery meter on the keypad
(Figure
C 9
) indicates how much power remains.
• The bottom LED will illuminate and flash when the
battery level is low (10%). The laser may continue
to operate for a short time while the battery power
continues to drain, but the beam(s) will quickly dim.
• After the 12V/18V Li-ion battery is charged, and
the laser is turned ON again, the laser beam(s) will
return to full brightness and the battery indicator
level will indicate full capacity.
• If all 4 LEDs on the battery meter remain ON, this
indicates that the laser is not fully powered OFF.
When the laser is not in use, make sure the Power/
Transport Lock switch is placed to the LEFT to the
Locked/OFF position (Figure
C 2
).
Operating Tips
• To extend battery life per charge, turn the laser off
when it is not in use.
• To ensure the accuracy of your work, check
the laser calibration often. Refer to Checking
Laser Accuracy.
• Before attempting to use the laser, make sure it is
positioned securely, on a smooth, flat stable surface
that is level in both directions.
• To increase beam visibility, use a Laser Target Card
(Figure
N
) and/or wear Laser Enhancement Glass-
es (Figure
O
) to help find the beam.
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of serious injury,
never stare directly into the laser beam with or
without these glasses. Refer to
Accessories
for important information.
• Always mark the center of the beam created by
the laser.
• Extreme temperature changes can cause movement
or shifting of building structures, metal tripods,
equipment, etc., which can effect accuracy. Check
your accuracy often while working.
• If the laser has been dropped, check to make sure
your laser is still calibrated. Refer to Checking
Laser Accuracy.
