apart. (See fig. 1).
2. Point the instrument directly at wall 1. Turn the laser on and mark the
beam as point A.
3. Turn the instrument 180 degrees so that the laser is pointed directly at wall
2. Turn the laser and mark the beam as point B.
4. Move the instrument and the tripod so the laser is positioned approximately
2 feet away from wall 1 (see fig. 2). Level the tripod and position the
instrument on the tripod facing wall 1. Turn the laser on and mark the
beam as point C.
5. Turn the laser off and rotate the laser 180 degrees so that it is
facing directly to wall 2.
6. Turn on the laser and mark the beam
as point D.

8. Measure the distance between
points B & D.
