The tool can be used to transfer points using any combination of the three beams.
INTEGRATED MAGNETIC PIVOTING BRACKET (FIG. 2)
The DW083-XE has a magnetic pivoting bracket (G) permanently attached to the
unit. This bracket allows the unit to be mounted to any upright surface made of steel
or iron using the magnets (H) located on the back of the pivoting bracket. Common
examples of suitable surfaces include steel framing studs, steel door frames and
structural steel beams. Position the laser on a stable surface.
CAUTION: Do not stand underneath the laser when it is mounted with the
magnetic pivoting bracket.
Serious personal injury or damage to the laser may result
if the laser falls.
The pivoting bracket also provides floor clearance of approximately 44.5 mm (1¾")
which aids in the installation of steel framing track.
OUT OF TILT RANGE INDICATOR
The DW083-XE laser is designed to self-level. If the laser has been tilted so much that
it cannot level itself (> 4° tilt), it will flash the laser beam (Fig. 4). The flashing beam
indicates the tilt range has been exceeded and IS NOT LEVEL (OR PLUMB) AND SHOULD
NOT BE USED FOR DETERMINING OR MARKING LEVEL (OR PLUMB). Try repositioning
the laser on a more level surface.

• Before attempting to use the laser, make sure it is positioned securely, on a
smooth, flat surface.
• Always mark the center of the dot or pattern created by the laser.
• Extreme temperature changes may cause movement of internal parts that can
affect accuracy. Check your accuracy often while working. See
Field Calibration
Check.
• If the laser has been dropped, check to make sure your laser is calibrated. See
Field Calibration Check.
LOW BATTERY INDICATOR (FIG. 3)
FIG. 3
B
The DW083-XE is equipped with a low battery indicator (B),
as shown in Figure 3. The red indicator light is located on top
of the tool. When the light flashes, the batteries are low and
need to be replaced. The laser may continue to operate for
a short time while the batteries continue to drain. After fresh
batteries are installed and the laser is turned on again, the
red indicator light will stay off. (A flashing laser beam is not
caused by low batteries; see
Out of Tilt Range Indicator.
)
OPERATION
Turning the Laser On and Off (Fig. 2)
• With the laser off, place it on a stable, flat surface. Turn
the laser on by rotating the on/off lever (C) so it points up. It will then project
three beams; one up (D), one down (E), and one horizontal (F).
• To turn the laser off, rotate the on/off lever (C) down to its horizontal position.
Beams will no longer be projected.
Locking Pendulum
The DW083-XE is equipped with a locking pendulum mechanism. This feature is only
activated when the laser is switched off. When the power on knob is rotated to the ON
position, the pendulum will be released from the locked position and self level.
Using the Laser
The beams are level or plumb as long as the calibration has been checked (see
Field Calibration Check
) and the laser beam is not flashing (see
Out of Tilt Range
Indicator
).
