OUT OF TILT RANGE INDICATOR (FIG. 3, 4)

The DW086-XE and DW087-XE lasers are designed to self-level. If the laser has been 

tilted so much that it cannot level itself (average > 4° tilt), it will flash the laser beam 

(Fig. 4). The flashing beam indicates the tilt range has been exceeded and IS 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.

USING THE LASERS WITH ACCESSORIES

The lasers are equipped with a 1/4" x 20 female thread on the bottom of the unit. This 

thread is to accommodate current or future D

USING THE PIVOT BRACKET (FIG. 5)

The DW086-XE and DW087-XE lasers have a magnetic pivot bracket (E) permanently 

attached to the units. This bracket allows the unit to be mounted to any upright 

surface made of steel or iron. Common examples of suitable surfaces include steel 

framing studs, steel door frames and structural steel beams. The bracket also has a 

keyhole slot (F) allowing the unit to be hung from a nail or screw on any kind of sur-

face. 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.

USING THE LASER WITH THE WALL MOUNT (FIG. 5)

The DW0860 Laser Wall Mount offers more mounting options for the DW086-XE and 
DW087-XE lasers. The wall mount has a clamp (G) at one end which can be fixed to a 

wall angle for acoustic ceiling installation. At the other end of the wall mount is a screw
