Operating the laser line generator
The laser line generator has a number of different
mounting methods. It is important to select the mounting
method first as illustrated in the following options.
Selecting the mounting method
Option 1: Flat surfaces – pin mounting base
1. Place the base of the unit onto the pin mounting base
ensuring you align the front locating groove (6) with
the locating pin (12).
2. Place this assembly on a flat surface and check the vials
(3) to ensure that the surface is level. If the surface is
not level, go to option 3.
3. If the floor is level, ensure the surface is made of
soft material such as soft wood, then press both pin
buttons (13) down into the flat surface and make sure
it fixes firmly.
Option 2: Flat surfaces – no mounting base
1. Place the unit on the floor and check the vials (3) to
ensure that the surface is level. If the floor is not level,
go to option 3.
Option 3: Uneven surfaces – leveling base
1. Place the unit onto the leveling base ensuring you align
the front locating groove (6) with the locating pin (10).
2. Check vials (3) to see if
the unit assembly is level.
If not, make appropriate
adjustments to both the
vertical adjusting knob (8)
and the horizontal adjusting
knob (9).
