Fieldwork
1. Find the starting point of the boundary (such as boundary
marker or the like)
2. Hold LaserMaster™ horizontal and look through the sight
(see section “Instrument usage”) on the short side of the
instrument (the compass capsule is mounted on the same
side). Fig. 6
3. Turn your body until the desired compass bearing (144° in
the above example) is indicated on the larger of the two
scales.
4. Activate the laser unit by pressing the switch on the long
side of the instrument. Do not forget to deactivate the
laser unit after use.
5. If you have an assistant, he/she should wear the refl ective
vest delivered with LaserMaster™. Aim the instrument to
the correct bearing (144°) while guiding your assistant so
that he/she moves with the laser dot visible on the large
refl ective plate on the back of the vest. The refl ective vest
makes it possible to use LaserMaster™ in strong light.

6. Your assistant should now search for any boundary
markers, such as boundary stones, pipes or the like. As
soon as a marker is found, it is clearly marked out in the
terrain, e.g. with a cone, and the procedure is repeated
from that spot. Fig 9.
7. When a marker is found, it is a good idea to aim back in
the direction from which you came to check the compass
direction along which the boundary runs. This is read
from the small scale in the instrument sight. If this value
differs from the measured value and if the map indicates
the boundary should be straight, it is probably the most
recently read compass bearing that is correct and should
be used when continuing the search for more boundary
markers.
Do as follows to move a boundary to a parallel location
in the terrain, for example to mark the widening of a
powerline access road.
1. Stand at the edge of the existing boundary, e.g. on the
edge of the powerline access road.
2. Use LaserMaster™ to aim in the direction of the boundary;
read and note the number of degrees indicated by the
sight. For example 245°.
3. If you wish to move the boundary parallel to the left – turn
90° to the left by subtracting 90° from 245° and aim at 155°
(If the boundary is to be moved to the right, add 90° to
obtain 335°).
4. Aiming at 155° measure the desired stretch of boundary
to be moved parallel and stop at the point that shall
now constitute the starting point of the new boundary
demarcation.
5. Activate the laser unit and aim at boundary bearing 245°.
If you have an assistant, guide him/her in the correct
direction. Feel free to use the refl ective vest. You assistant
then marks the boundary line with a marking band or the
like.
6. Regularly check the distance out to the original boundary
line.
