Slide the battery pack down in the laser until it
snaps in place (Figure

).
Viewing the Battery Meter
When the laser is ON, the battery meter on the keypad
(Figure
C 9
) indicates how much power remains.
Each of the four LEDs on the battery meter represents
25% of the power.
• The bottom LED will illuminate and flash when the
battery level is low (below 12.5%). 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/20V MAX 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
L
) and/or wear Laser Enhancement Glass es
(Figure
M
) 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.
Turning the Laser On
With the laser off, place it on a flat surface. This model
has a pendulum locking switch
2
and a keypad 9
to activate the laser beams with two ON/OFF buttons;
one for a horizontal laser line and one for a vertical
laser line . Each laser line is powered on by moving
the pendulum lock switch
2
to the UNLOCKED/ON
position and pressing the required ON/OFF button
on the keypad. The laser lines can be powered one
at a time or at the same time. Pressing the ON/OFF
buttons again turns the laser lines off. The pendulum
locking switch disables the lasers as well as locking
the pendulum, and should always be placed in the
LOCKED/OFF position when the laser is not in use.
If the pendulum lock switch is not placed in the lock
position all 4 LED's will continuously flash on the
Battery Meter.
