4.
Push the battery compartment cover down until it snaps in place
(Figure
C
#3).
5.
Slide the Power/Transport Lock switch to the right to the
Unlocked/ON position (Figure
A
#1b).
6.
On the keypad (Figure
A
#3b), make sure
is
green
(> 5%). If is
red
, this means that
the battery level is
below 5%.
• The
laser may continue to operate for a short time while
the battery power continues to drain, but the laser lines
and dots will quickly dim
.
•
After
fresh batteries are installed and the laser is turned
ON again, the laser lines and dots will return
to full
brightness.
7.
When
the laser is not in use, slide the Power/Transport
Lock switch to the LEFT to the Locked/OFF position (Figure
A
#1a) to save battery power
.
Using the Mounting Block
On the bottom of the laser is a moveable block (Figure
D
).
• To use the magnets on the front of the laser (Figure
A
#2) to
mount the laser against the side of a steel beam
, do
not
extend the moveable block
(Figure
D
#1)
. This will allow the
down dot to be aligned with the edge of the steel beam.
• To
mount the laser over
a point on the floor
(using a multi-
function bracket or a tripod), pull out the moveable block until
it clicks in place
(Figure
D
#2). This will allow the laser down
dot to display through the 5/8-11 mounting hole and the laser
to be rotated over the 5/8-11 mounting hole without moving
the vertical position of the laser.
Turning the Laser On
1.
Place the laser on a smooth, flat, level surface.
2.
Slide the Power/Transport Lock switch to the right to the
Unlocked/ON position (Figure
A
#1b).
3.
As shown in Figure
A
#3a, press
once to display
a horizontal laser line, a second time to display a vertical
laser line, a third time to display a horizontal line and
a vertical line, a fourth time to display 2 dots (above and
below the laser), and a fifth time to display the horizontal and
vertical lines with the 2 dots.
4.
Check the laser beams. The laser is designed to self-level.
If the laser is tilted so much that it cannot self-level (> 4°),
the laser beams will continually flash twice and will flash
constantly on the keypad
(Figure
A
#3c).
5.
If the laser beams flash,
the laser is not level (or plumb) and
should NOT BE USED for determining or marking level or
plumb. Try repositioning the laser on a level surface.
6.
Press on the keypad to test the Pulse mode. will
illuminate on the keypad (
Figure
A
#3d) and the laser
beams will appear lighter, since they are flashing at a very
rapid rate. You will only use Pulse mode with a detector to
project the laser beams long range.
7.
If ANY of the following statements are TRUE, continue with
the instructions for
Checking Laser Accuracy
BEFORE
USING THE LASER for a project.
• This is the
first time you are using the laser
(in case the
laser was exposed to extreme temperatures).
• The laser has
not been checked for accuracy in a while
.
•
The laser may have been
dropped
.
Checking Laser Accuracy
The laser tools are sealed and calibrated at the factory. It
is
recommended that you perform an accuracy check
prior
to using the laser for the first time
(in case the laser was
exposed to extreme temperatures)
and then regularly to ensure
the accuracy of your work. When performing any of the
accuracy checks listed in this manual, follow these guidelines:
•
Use the largest area/distance possible, closest to the
operating distance. The greater the area/distance, the easier
to measure the accuracy of the laser.
•
Place the laser on a smooth, flat, stable surface that is level
in both directions.
•
Mark the center of the laser beam.
Horizontal Line Accuracy - Tilt
C
hecking the tilt of the laser’s horizontal line requires a flat
vertical surface at least 30’ (9m) wide
.
1.
Place the laser as shown in Figure
F
#1 and turn the laser
ON.
2.
Press
3 times to display a horizontal line and a vertical
line.
