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.

>4°

FIG. 4

  •  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

).
