SWITCHING ON AND OFF
WARNING!
LEVELING FUNCTION
POSITION THE TOOL (Fig. 2)
NOTE:
The specified leveling accuracy applies for the alignment
of the laser beam with spirit level for vertical alignment (3) or
spirit level for horizontal alignment (4).
Spirit levels contain flammable liquid that may cause respiratory
tract, eye and skin irritation.
For precise alignment with the spirit levels, the position of the
tool is important.
The specified leveling accuracy is only achieved when the tool
is correctly positioned:
For horizontal alignment with the spirit level for horizontal
alignment, the laser line aperture must be horizontal and the
aluminium base (2) of the measuring tool must face downward.
For vertical alignment with the spirit level for vertical alignment,
the laser line aperture must face upward and the aluminium
base must face sideward.
ALIGNMENT WITH LASER LINE
Attach the measuring tool to wall mount base (10), place it
against a wall via the three reference points (7) or stick it to a
magnetic surface with the magnets (8).
HORIZONTAL ALIGNMENT (Fig. 3-4)
The laser line aperture must be horizontal and the aluminum
base of the measuring tool must face downward. Horizontally
align the measuring tool with spirit level for horizontal alignment.
As an example, you can align picture frames or shelves
alongside the horizontal laser line.
VERTICAL ALIGNMENT (Fig. 4)
The laser line aperture outlet opening for must face upward and
the aluminium base of the measuring tool must face sideward.
Vertically align the measuring tool with spirit level. As an
example, you can align top and base cabinets alongside the
vertical laser line.
ALIGNMENT OFF OF REFERENCE POINTS (Fig. 5)
Turn the measuring tool to any required angle in order to align
the laser line alongside your reference points. As an example,
this can be used to hang picture frames parallel to stairs or to
the incline of a roof.

ATTACHING/ALIGNING WITH WALL MOUNT BASE
Place the measuring tool on the wall mount base and horizontally
align it. As an example, you can use the laser point to align
socket outlets on different walls or hang up wardrobe hooks at
the same height. For this, turn the upper part of the wall mount
base with the measuring tool, and not the measuring tool only on
the wall holder.
When turning, pay attention not to touch the measuring tool,
otherwise its position could be changed.
Working with tripod (recommended): Align the laser beam to the
requested height. Project or check the height at the target
location.
Working without tripod: Determine the height difference between
the laser beam and the height art the reference point. Project or
check the measured height difference at the target location.
The measuring tool can also be used as a carpenter’s spirit level
for leveling vertical and horizontal, for example to align a washing
machine or a refrigerator. Position the measuring tool with the
aluminium base on the surface to be leveled. When placing on
horizontal surfaces, the aluminium base must face downward,
when placing against vertical surfaces, the laser line aperture
must face upward.
With the wall mount base (10), the measuring tool can be
attached to surfaces as follows:
Line operation: Place the wall mount base via its recess on the
backside onto a screw head slightly projecting out of a wall. Stick
the measuring tool with the magnets to the reference surface for
laser liner (11) of the wall mount base.
Turn the upper part of the wall holder to align the measuring tool
as required.
NOTE: Horizontal alignment with the laser line is only possible
on the surface, against which the measuring tool was placed.
Even when the measuring tool was aligned with the spirit level,
the laser line on a transverse wall does not necessarily run
horizontal, and is thus not suitable for leveling.
Do not subject the measuring tool to extreme temperatures
or variations in temperature. As an example, do not leave
it in vehicles for longer periods. In case of large variations in
temperature, allow the measuring tool to adjust to the ambient
temperature before putting it into operation.
Avoid heavy impact to or falling down of the measuring
tool. After severe exterior effects to the measuring tool, it is
recommended to carry out an accuracy check each time
before continuing to work.
To switch on the measuring tool in line operation, push the
On/Off switch (1) forward to laser aperture.
To switch on the measuring tool in point operation, push the
On/Off switch back to the end of the tool.
Immediately after switching on, a laser beam out from laser line
aperture (5), or laser point aperture (6), depending on the
selected operating mode.
To
switch off the measuring tool, push the On/Off switch to the
center position.
Switch the measuring tool off during transport. When
switching off, the leveling unit, which can be damaged in case
of intense movement, is locked.
Do not point the laser beam at persons or animals and do
not look into the laser beam yourself, not even from a
large distance.
Do not leave the switched on tool unattended and switch
the tool off after use. Other persons could be blinded by
the laser beam.
If spirit level leaks, soak up with appropriate absorbent
material and dispose of safely.
NOTE: When not using the measuring tool, switch it off in order
to extend the battery life.
