Applications
General Leveling and Aligning
1. Place the laser on a flat surface. The laser must be level within its self-
leveling range.
2. Adjust the position of the Line or Point Beams so they are at the desired
positions.
3. Mark the position of the wall, elevation, floor or ceiling.
Installing and Plumbing a Wall
1. Place the laser so the Vertical Line
Beam is positioned over the desired
wall location (usually indicated by 2
floor marks).
NOTE:
If the floor track is already
installed the laser should be placed
on the Universal Mount or
Universal Mount Adapter so the
Vertical Line can be positioned
over the edge of the track.
2. Use the Vertical Line Beam to
position the top track.
Batteries
Installation/Removal
CAUTION:
The batteries should be removed when storing the laser more
than 30 days.
1. Release the battery door latch using your fingers, a coin, or a screwdriver.
Open the door.
2. Install/remove the AA batteries. Insert the positive (+) end first to ease
installation.
Note: When installing the batteries, be sure to note the positive (+) and
negative (–) diagrams molded on the battery housing.
3. Close the battery door and latch it shut.
Disposal
Some areas have regulations regarding the disposal of batteries. Be sure to
dispose of discharged batteries properly.

Basic Operation
1. Unlock the laser’s compensator by sliding the switch to the LEFT.
NOTE:
For added mechanism protection always lock the laser when not in
use by sliding the switch to the RIGHT.
2. Press the POWER button, the POWER LED illuminates GREEN. To
turn OFF the laser, PRESS & HOLD the POWER button for 3 seconds.
3. Each time the POWER button is pressed the laser beams will cycle through
the following sequence: H Line
V Line
HV Lines
5 Points
All Beams
4. When the unit is tilted out of its self-leveling range the laser beams will
blink 2 times per second.
5. The laser can be taken out of automatic self-leveling mode to perform
slope work by locking the laser’s compensator (slide the switch to the
RIGHT). In this mode the LOCK symbol LED will illuminate GREEN,
and the laser beams will flash 3 times every 30 seconds.
6. To operate the laser with the HR250 receiver press the RECEIVER
button. The RECEIVER LED will illuminate GREEN.
7. When the batteries need changed the POWER LED illuminates RED.
8. To turn OFF the laser, PRESS & HOLD the POWER button for 3 seconds.
Installing a Ceiling
1. Measure up from the floor (or other reference
mark) to the finished ceiling height.
2. Install the first piece of wall molding.
3. Slide the ceiling plate (0002-3480) behind
the wall molding.
4. Attach the Universal Mount (0002-3420)
and Universal Mount Adapter (0002-3430)
to the laser and magnetically attach it to
the ceiling plate so that the level beam is at
wall molding height. Install the rest of the
wall molding.
5. Lower the laser 5 cm (2.0 in.) on the
ceiling plate so that the level beam is at the
horizontal target elevation.
6. Install the ceiling’s cross Ts and main Ts.
3. Use the Vertical Line Beam to position the floor track.
4. To locate the plumb point over a wall corner or other point place the
Down Point Beam over the corner or mark. Use the Up Point to
determine the top track corner location.
NOTE: If the floor track is already installed use the Universal Mount to
position the Down Point over the corner. Add the Universal Mount
Adapter if tall floor track is being used.
