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 7
) 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/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
M
) and/or wear Laser Enhancement Glass es
(Figure
N
) 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
Place the laser on a flat level surface. Slide the Power/
Transport Lock switch
C 2
to the right to unlock/turn
ON the laser.
Each laser line is powered on by pressing its button on
the keypad (Figure
C 3
). Pressing the button again
turns the laser line off. The laser lines can be powered
one at a time or all at the same time.

the Power/Transport Lock switch is not placed in the
lock position, all 4 LEDs will continuously flash on the
Battery Meter.
