Detector Service

Except for batteries, there are no user serviceable parts in the Digital Laser Detector. Do not 
disassemble the unit. Unauthorised tampering with the laser detector will void all warranties.

Detector Cleaning and Storage

  •  Dirt and grease may be removed from the exterior of the detector using a cloth or soft, 

non-metallic brush.

 • The D

E

WALT digital laser detector is rain resistant but not immersible. Do not pour water on 

the unit or submerge it under water.

  •  The best storage place is one that is cool and dry—away from direct sunlight and excess 

heat or cold.

Detector Troubleshooting

THE DETECTOR WILL NOT TURN ON

  •  Press and release the power button.
  •  Check to see that the battery is in place and in the proper position.
  •  If the detector is very cold, allow it to warm up in a heated area.
  •  Replace the 9-volt battery. Turn the unit on.
  •  If the detector still does not turn on, take the detector to a D

E

WALT service center.

THE DETECTOR’S SPEAKER MAKES NO SOUND

  •  Ensure that the detector is on.
  •  Press the volume button. It will toggle on and off.
  •  Ensure that the laser is turned on and that it is emitting a laser beam.
  •  If the detector is still not making any sound, take it to a D

E

WALT service center.

THE DETECTOR DOES NOT RESPOND TO THE BEAM FROM ANOTHER LASER 
UNIT

 • The D

E

WALT Digital Laser Detector has been designed to work only with the DW088 and 

the DW089 and certain other compatible line lasers.

THE DETECTOR GIVES OFF A TONE BUT THE LCD DISPLAY WINDOW DOES NOT 
FUNCTION

  •  If the detector is very cold, allow it to warm up in a heated area.
  •  If the LCD display window is still not functioning, take the detector to a D

E

WALT service 

center.

BRIGHT LIGHT SHINING ON DETECTOR CAUSES CONTINUOUS “ON-GRADE” 
SIGNAL

  • In the presence of very intense ambient light, the detector may give a false or erratic 

indication of level.

  •  Reposition the detector out of the intense light or shade the sensor window (I) to resume 

normal operation.

Cleaning

 WARNING:

 Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with clean, dry air at least once a week. 

To minimize the risk of eye injury, always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved eye protection when 
performing this. 

 WARNING:

 Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts 

of the tool. These chemicals may weaken the plastic materials used in these parts. Use a cloth 
dampened only with water and mild soap. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse 
any part of the tool into a liquid.
