Use the PLANE SELECTOR buttons to turn on/off
individual planes. Default is horizontal or last used
plane(s).
Horizontal plane
Front vertical plane
Side vertical plane
3 lasers blink rapidly when all planes are turned off,
laser is ON, unlocked
and tilted.
Using the Laser Level
1. For best results, place the tool on a work surface
that is:
• sturdy
•
level (within 4 degrees of true level)
• free of vibrations
• 90° to the work area
2. Turn on the tool and press the desired Plane
Selector button(s).
3. The tool will self-level when placed on surfaces
within 4 degrees of true level when dial is unlocked
and on.
4. The tool is ready once the emitted lines are con-
tinuous and no longer moving on the work surface.
5. If the tool cannot achieve a level state (i.e., the
work surface is > 4 degrees off true level), the laser
points will flash rapidly (3 flashes per second).
Relocate or adjust the work surface.
Troubleshooting
If the tool does not turn on:
• Ensure battery is installed properly. Fuel gauge
should indicate remaining charge when correctly
installed.
• Ensure battery is charged.
• Ensure the tool's internal temperature is within
specified operating ranges. If stored in excessive
heat or cold, allow at least 2 hours to acclimate to
ambient temperature before turning on the tool.
If problem persists, please contact a MILWAUKEE
service facility for support.
*When automatically switched to power save mode
due to low battery, the tool cannot be switched back
to normal mode until the battery is charged/replaced.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury or dam-
age, securely mount/attach the
laser before starting an operation. Injury/damage
may occur if the laser falls.
Mounting/Adjusting the Laser Level
The pivot bracket can be used to mount the laser
level in multiple ways:
• Use the embedded magnets to secure the laser
level to steel studs, steel beams, etc.
• Use the keyhole slot to hang the laser level on the
wall with a nail or screw.
• Set the laser level on a flat surface.
• Position the laser and/or wall mount on a stable
surface.
• Use the 1/4"-20 or 5/8"-11 threaded insert to mount
on a tripod.
• Once the level is mounted, use the micro adjustment
knobs to fine tune the vertical lines.
OPERATION
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury or tem-
porary effects on vision, do not
look directly into the laser when it is on.
CAUTION
Use of controls or adjustments or
performance of procedures other
than those specified herein may result in hazard
-
ous radiation exposure.
NOTICE
Perform the Accuracy Field Check
procedure immediately upon unboxing
of each new Laser Level and before exposure to
jobsite conditions. See "Accuracy Field Check"
for information.
Turning On/Off
To turn on the laser and unlock the pendulum, rotate
the On/Off dial to the desired position. The remaining
battery life will be displayed.
WARNING!
Do not look
directly into laser apertures. Power on indicator will
display, and horizontal level line will immediately be
emitted from aperture in the laser housing.
ON
Turns ON the laser and unlocks the pendu-
lum to enable self-leveling.
ON
Turns ON the laser but does not unlock the
pendulum (self leveling is disabled). The
laser lines will flash once every 8 seconds
to indicate that the projected lines are not
level or plumb.
NOTICE:
The ON mode disables self-
leveling and therefore is not intended for
projecting a level or plumb line.
OFF
Turns OFF the laser and locks the pen-
dulum. When not in use, turn off the tool
and store the Laser Level in the protective
carrying case.
