3.2 Application
This Wacker laser transmitter is simple to use, yet it has several
advanced features:
• Automatic self-leveling in horizontal
• Visible laser beam
• Easy electronic calibration
• Match slope in X and Y axes
3.3 Calibration
It is important to check your laser for proper calibration. The laser is a preci-
sion instrument and it is important that you keep it calibrated and in proper
condition. The accuracy of your work is completely your responsibility and you
should check your instrument before beginning each job, and especially after
the instrument has taken a sharp jolt or been dropped, or when temperature
changes greater than 50 degrees F (28 degrees C) have occurred. See “Main-
tenance” for calibration procedures.
3.4 Horizontal Setup and Operation
See Graphic: wc_gr004599
3.4.1 The HAL 300 laser can be used on a wall mount; directly on a solid,
stable surface; or on a standard 5/8-11 tripod. The laser has a wide
self-leveling range; however, if the laser is set up outside of leveling
range, the beam will continue to blink and rotation will not start.
3.4.2 Press the ON/OFF switch (3) to turn the laser on. The laser will perform
a self-test when turned on. The beam will blink while the laser is self-
leveling. After it has leveled, the head will start to rotate.
3.4.3 Select the H.I. (Height of Instrument) alert by pressing the H.I. Alert
Function key (8). The H.I. alert function will be active 30 seconds after
the HAL 300 has finished its self-leveling.
3.4.4 There are three rotation speeds: 0, 90, and 600 rpm (the default
speed). To change to 90 rpm, press the rotation speed key (9). Press
the key again to stop the rotation.
3.4.5 To turn the laser off, press the ON/OFF switch.
