B
) permanently
attached to the unit.
WARNING:
Position the laser and/or wall mount on a stable
surface. Serious personal injury or damage to the
laser may result if the laser falls.
• The bracket has magnets (Figure

) which allow the unit
to be mounted to most upright surfaces made of steel or iron.
Common examples of suitable surfaces include steel framing
studs, steel door frames, and structural steel beams.
• The bracket has a keyhole slot (Figure
B 1
) so it can be
hung from a nail or screw on any kind of surface .

Maintenance
• When the laser is not in use, clean the exterior parts with
a damp cloth, wipe the laser with a soft dry cloth to make
sure it is dry, and then store the laser in the kit box provided.
• Although the laser exterior is solvent resistant, NEVER use
solvents to clean the laser.
• Do not store the laser at temperatures below -5 ˚F (-20 ˚C) or
above 140 ˚F (60 ˚C).
• To maintain the accuracy of your work, check the laser often
to make sure it is properly calibrated.
• Calibration checks and other maintenance repairs may be
performed by D

WALT service centers.
Troubleshooting
The Laser Does Not Turn On
• Check the AA batteries to make sure:
• Each battery is installed correctly, according to (+) and (–)
listed inside the battery compartment .
• The battery contacts are clean and free of rust or corrosion.
• The batteries are new, high-quality, name brand batteries
to reduce the chance of battery leakage.
• Make sure the AA batteries are in proper working condition. If
in doubt, try installing new batteries.
• When using rechargeable batteries, make sure the batteries
are fully charged.
• Be sure to keep the laser dry.
• If the laser unit is heated above 120 ˚F (50 ˚C), the unit will
not turn ON. If the laser has been stored in extremely hot
temperatures, allow it to cool. The laser level will not be
damaged by using the Power/Transport Lock switch before
cooling to its proper operating temperature.
The Laser Beams Flash
When in self-leveling mode, the laser is designed to self-level
up to an average of 4° in all directions. If the laser is tilted
so much that the internal mechanism cannot level itself, the
laser beams will flash indicating that the tilt range has been
exceeded.
THE FLASHING BEAMS CREATED BY THE LASER ARE
NOT LEVEL OR PLUMB AND SHOULD NOT BE USED
FOR DETERMINING OR MARKING LEVEL OR PLUMB. Try
repositioning the laser on a more level surface.
The Laser Beams Will Not Stop Moving
The laser is a precision instrument. Therefore, if it is not
positioned on a stable (and motionless) surface, the laser will
continue to try to find level. If the beams will not stop moving,
try placing the laser on a more stable surface. Also, try to make
sure that the surface is relatively flat and level, so that the laser
is stable.
