Push the Micro USB port cover back over the laser’s charging
port.
Whenever the laser is not in use, slide the Power/Transport
Lock switch to the LEFT to the Locked/OFF position (Figure
A
6
) to save battery power
.
Using the Mounting Block
On the bottom of the laser is a moveable block (Figure
D
).
• To use the magnets on the front of the laser (Figure
A
8
) to
mount the laser against the side of a steel beam
,
do
not
extend the moveable block (Figure
D
1
). This
will allow the down dot to be aligned with the edge of the
steel beam.
• To
mount the laser over a point on the floor
(using a multi-
function bracket or a tripod), pull out the moveable block
until it clicks in place (Figure
D
2
). This will allow
the laser
down dot to display through the 5/8-11 mounting hole and
the laser to be rotated over the 5/8-11 mounting hole without
moving the vertical position of the laser.
Turning the Laser On
1.
Place the laser on a smooth, flat, level surface.
2.
Slide the Power/Transport Lock switch to the right to the
Unlocked/ON position (Figure
A
7
).
3.
On the keypad (Figure
A
4
), make sure
is
green
(> 5%). If is
flashing
, this means that the battery level
is below 5%.
• The
laser may continue to operate for a short time while
the battery power continues to drain, but the laser lines
will quickly dim
.
• After the
laser is fully-charged and the laser is turned ON
again, the laser lines will return
to full brightness.

As shown in Figure
A
2
,
press
once to display a
horizontal laser line, a second time to display a vertical laser
line, and a third time to display a horizontal line and a vertical
line.
5.
Check the laser beams. The laser is designed to self-level.
If the laser is tilted so much that it cannot self-level (> 4°),
the laser beams will continually flash twice and will flash
constantly on the keypad
(Figure
A
3
).
6.
If the laser beams flash,
the laser is not level (or plumb) and
should NOT BE USED for determining or marking level or
plumb. Try repositioning the laser on a level surface.
7.
Press
on the keypad to test the Pulse mode.
will
illuminate on the keypad
(Figure
A
5
) and the laser
beams will appear lighter, since they are flashing at a very
rapid rate. You will only use Pulse mode with a detector to
project the laser beams long range.
8.
If ANY of the following statements are TRUE, continue with
the instructions for
Checking Laser Accuracy
BEFORE
USING THE LASER for a project.
• This is the
first time you are using the laser
(in case the
laser was exposed to extreme temperatures).
• The laser has
not been checked for accuracy in a while
.
•
The laser may have been
dropped
.
Checking Laser Accuracy
The laser tools are sealed and calibrated at the factory. It
is
recommended that you perform an accuracy check
prior
to using the laser for the first time
(in case the laser was
exposed to extreme temperatures)
and then regularly to ensure
the accuracy of your work. When performing any of the
accuracy checks listed in this manual, follow these guidelines:
•
Use the largest area/distance possible, closest to the
operating distance. The greater the area/distance, the easier
to measure the accuracy of the laser.
•
Place the laser on a smooth, flat, stable surface that is level
in both directions.
• Mark the center of the laser beam.
Horizontal Line Accuracy - Level
Checking the level of the laser’s horizontal line requires a flat
vertical surface at least
30’ (9m) wide.
1.
Place a tripod at one end of the wall (Figure
D
1
).
2.
Place the laser on a tripod and screw the threaded knob on
the tripod into the female thread on the laser.
3.
Slide the laser’s Power/Transport Lock switch to the right to
turn the laser ON (Figure
A
7
).
4.
Press
once to display a horizontal line
.
5.
Mark two points (P1 and P2) at least 30’ (9m) apart along
the length of the laser’s horizontal line on the wall (Figure
E
1
).
