Inspection of the leveling accuracy of the 
laser level 

Check the leveling accuracy of the unit (laser level) 
periodically in the following manners: 

 

Fig. 8 

 

1.  Check the leveling accuracy of horizontal 

laser-beam line. 

1) 

Place the unit on the floor of an indoor corner 
at the point of 3 to 5 m from the one wall and 
1 m from the another one. (See the Fig.8) 
Turn the level adjusting ring (9 ) so that the 
air-bubble in the round vial (4) is centered. 

2) 

Turn on the power switch (12). 

3) 

Turn the unit and mark both ends of laser line 
projected on the both walls. 

4) 

Then turn the unit on both sides. Make sure 
that half of the deviation from laser line to the 
first marked point is within the leveling 
accuracy specified. 

2.  Check the leveling accuracy of vertical 

laser-beam line. 

 

Fig. 9 

 

1) 

Hang a plumb-bob (See the Fig. 9) from 3 m 
height of the wall (the height of ceiling is 
approx. 3 m). 
Place the unit on the floor at the point of 2 to 
5 m away from the wall. Make sure that the 
air-bubble is centered in the round vial (4). 

 
2) 

Turn on the power switch 12. Then press the 
V button. 

3)  Direct the vertical laser line to the string of 

plumb-bob. Then adjust the vertical laser line 
to the lower end of the string. Make sure that 
deviation from the vertical laser line to the 

upper end of the string is within the leveling 
accuracy specified.
