Using the Product in Self-Leveling Mode

1. Slide the locking compensator up to the unlocked position to

power on the unit. The status light will illuminate, and the unit will
emit both a crossline and a 90° vertical (plumb) line.

2. Press the tilt mode button once to produce only the crossline.

3. Press the tilt mode button a second time to produce only the 90°

vertical (plumb) line.

4. Press the tilt mode button a third time to again produce both a

crossline and a 90° vertical (plumb) line.

5. Slide the locking compensator down to the locked position to

power off the unit.

Note:

The Self-Leveling Cross and Line Laser must be within ±4° 

of level for the self-leveling feature to function properly. If the 
instrument is beyond its 4° self-leveling range, the laser will not 
self-level, the laser will flash and the status light will turn red. Once
the instrument has been adjusted to within its 4° self-leveling range,
the laser will self-level, the status light will turn green and the laser
light will stop flashing and remain solid.

Using the Product in Tilt (Manual Level) Mode

The Crossline with 90º Plumb Line Laser can be used to project laser
beams at any angle desired, such as when projecting a line for stairs
or a railing.  This mode produces the best results when the tool is
mounted on a tripod. 

1. With the locking compensator down in the locked position, tap 

the tilt mode button to power on the unit. The status light will
