Powering the Laser On/Off
Slide the locking compensator up to
power on
the unit and unlock
the compensator so that the laser can self-level. The status light
will illuminate, and the unit will emit three laser beams (up, front
and down).
Slide the locking compensator down to
power off
the unit and
engage the pendulum lock. The laser can be safely transported when
the pendulum is locked.
Note:
The Self-Leveling 3 Dot Laser must be within ±5° of level for
the self-leveling feature to function properly. If the instrument is
beyond its 5° self-leveling range, the laser will not self-level, the
laser will be flashing and the status light will turn red. Once the
instrument has been adjusted to within its 5° self-leveling range, the
laser will self-level, the status light will turn green and the laser light
will stop flashing and remain solid on.
Tips from the Pros
• Increasing the Beams’ Visibility – When working in bright
conditions, such as when working near windows or outside walls,
the visibility of the laser beams can be maximized by following
these steps:
• Work towards the laser.
• Use a freestanding target (sold separately).
• Wear laser glasses (sold separately).
Note:
Laser glasses enhance beam visibility but should never be
used to stare into the beam or be used as safety glasses. Eye
damage may result if these directions are not followed.
