DUAL-AXIS SLOPE MODE
Dual-axis slope mode angles the laser beam in X and Y directions, for
example when sloping a concrete slab towards a single corner.
Dual-slope mode may be used in either horizontal or vertical mode.
Vertical slope mode can speed up the process of establishing
reference lines.
When in dual-slope mode, the tilt indicator will not be functional.
Ensure the laser is not bumped while operating in dual-slope mode.
To enter dual-slope mode:
1. Tap on the remote (not the detector) to start dual-slope mode.
2. The X axis indicator will blink. Use and to adjust the slope in
the X axis. Tap for minor adjustments, or press and hold for larger
adjustments.
3. Tap on the remote to toggle axis and set slope in the Y
direction. The Y axis indicator will blink. Use and to adjust
the slope in the Y axis.
4. If the laser exceeds its slope range, the rotation will stop, the laser
will flash, and the alarm will sound. If this happens, reduce the
slope in either axis until the laser resumes operation.
5. Exit dual slope mode by holding for 3 seconds. The laser will
self level and begin to spin horizontally or vertically.
Pro Tip:
Instead of setting slope manually, use the tracking function.
In most cases, this will speed up the process of setting slope.
If you’re using a different detector than the one that came with your
rotary, you won’t be able to use the tracking function and manual
slope mode will be required.
Also, in high wind with a grade rod, detector movement can cause
instabilities in steadying the detector in tracking mode. Use manual
slope mode instead.
SCAN MODE
Scan mode can be used to simulate a laser line, or to emit a laser dot.
Both modes increase the visibility of the laser when working without
a detector.
1. While the laser is rotating, press to change from a rotational
laser to a long laser line, short laser line, or dot.
2. Rotate the line or dot using or .
3. To exit scan mode, press . The laser will begin to rotate
normally.
We want to get you up and running as quickly as possible - but this quick start guide is not a replacement for reading and understanding your
operator’s manual! For complete safety & operating instructions, refer to the operator’s manual included with your rotary laser, or scan the QR code.
TILT INDICATOR
The tilt indicator (tilt mode) disables the laser if it’s bumped while
operating, preventing you from taking inaccurate measurements.
Tilt mode is enabled by default, indicated by the tilt mode LED.
1. The Tilt Mode LED will flash for 30 seconds. During this time, the
laser will automatically re-level and restart if bumped. This gives
you time to make any necessary final adjustments to the laser.
2. After 30 seconds, the Tilt Mode LED will remain steady on, indi-
cating Tilt Mode is active. Any disturbance to the laser will cause it
to stop spinning and flash to alert you.
3. Reset the laser after a tilt event or exit tilt mode by pressing .
