WALL SET-UP (FIG. 3A)
The keyhole (M) in the pivot bracket (H) is used for mounting to wall
constructions. Alternatively, the tool can be attached to metal studs
directly using the magnets (N).
1. Drive a screw or nail into the wall.
2. Hang the tool onto the fastener by the keyhole.
FITTING THE TOOL TO THE WALL MOUNT (FIG. 3A
–
3D)
The tool has been equipped with a wall mount (I) for mounting to wall
track to aid in drop ceiling installation and other specialty leveling
projects. The pivot bracket (H) has magnets to attach the tool to the
wall mount.
Align the magnets (N) with the metal plate on the wall mount (I).
To remove the wall mount, pull the wall mount from the tool applying
sufficient force.
To Fit the Wall Mount to Wall Track (FIG. 3B,
3C)
1. Open the clamp jaws (O).
2. Place the clamp jaw around the wall track and release the clamp
to close the clamp jaws shut on the track.
To Mount the Wall Mount to a Wall (FIG. 3D)
1. Reorient the wall mount so the mounting hole (P) is at the top and
the clamp jaws (O) are at the bottom.
2. Hold the tool at the desired position against the wall and mark the
location of the mounting hole (P) on the wall.
3. Drill a hole at the marked location.
4. Insert a corresponding plug into the hole.
5. Hold the tool in front of the plug.
6. Turn a screw into the mounting hole (P).
Adjusting the Tool
To initiate the leveling procedure, switch on the tool. The level and/
or plumb orientation is correctly adjusted as long as the laser beams
remain on.
The laser beams start flashing to indicate that the tool has been set up
at a slope that is beyond the self-leveling range of 4°. Switch the tool
off, re-adjust the tool set-up within the self-leveling range and switch
the tool on again.

Aligning the Laser Line (Fig. 4)
Align the laser line of either one of the laser beams with the position
mark. Move the tool as required.
OPERATION
WARNING: Do not place
the laser in a position which
may cause anyone to
intentionally or
unintentionally stare into the
laser beam. Serious eye
injury may result from staring
at the beam.
Instructions for Use
WARNING: Always observe the safety instructions and applicable
regulations.
• Always mark the centre of the laser dots.
• Make sure the tool has been set up securely.
• Extreme temperature changes cause movement of internal parts that
may affect the accuracy of the tool. Regularly check the accuracy
while using the tool under these circumstances.
• Although the tool corrects small out-of-level errors automatically,
when it is bumped, re-adjustment to balance or set-up may be
required.
• If the tool has been dropped or has tipped over, check whether
there is damage by performing the field calibration checks. See
Maintenance.
Switching On and Off (Fig. 1)
The tool has separate switches to operate the vertical laser line and
the horizontal laser line.
To switch the vertical laser beam (D) on, press the on/off switch (A).
To switch the horizontal laser beam (E) on, press the on/off switch (B).
To switch either laser beam off, press the on/off switch again.
Transferring a Position Mark (Fig. 4)
The tool produces two laser
lines in horizontal and in
vertical direction, to transfer a
mark.
Align the relevant laser beam
with the mark.
Rotating the Tool (Fig. 5)
When in wall set-up, the tool can
be rotated manually to transfer
the horizontal laser line.
Rotate the tool to the left or right
as required.
Laser Accessories
DE0892-XE DIGITAL LASER
DETECTOR (FIG. 6)
Some laser kits include a D
e
WALT Digital Laser detector.
The D
e
WALT Digital Laser Detector helps in locating a
laser beam emitted by the 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 designed exclusively for use with the DW088-XE and
the DW089-XE line lasers and other compatible D
e
WALT line lasers. It
is not for use with rotating lasers.
The detector gives both visual signals through the LCD display window
(Q) and audio signals through the speaker (R) 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.
