After 4 seconds, the laser unit will beep
and the LED (m) next to the padlock
symbol will flash.
Wireless Remote control
The remote control allows one person to operate
and setup the laser from a distance. The remote
control features a power button (n), manual mode
button (o), four arrows (p, q), speed/rotation button
(r) and scan mode button (s). Two LED indicator
lights are on the remote control: transmit (t) and
private mode (u).
ReMote contRol: PoWeR Button
Press the remote control power button (n) to put the
laser unit into Sleep Mode. In Sleep Mode all laser
unit functions shut off except for a periodic blink
from the power LED (m) on the control panel of the
laser unit. Press the remote control power button
again to "wake up" the laser unit.
NotE: To completely power the laser unit off,
the power button on the control panel of the
laser unit must be pressed. The laser unit will also
automatically power off if it is left in Sleep Mode for
8 hours.
ReMote contRol: Manual Mode Button
To activate Manual Mode, press and hold the remote
control manual mode button (o) for 3 seconds.
Manual Mode must be activated to use manual
sloping. (Refer to Using Manual Slope Mode for a
complete description of this function.)
To re-engage full self-leveling, press and hold the
manual mode button again for 3 seconds.
Using Manual Slope Mode:
The DW079 Manual Slope Mode allows the
self-leveling function to be disabled in one axis
(direction) so that the laser can be sloped in that
axis. The other axis will continue to self-level,
ensuring that the laser beam is only sloping in
the expected direction.
Entering and exiting Manual Slope Mode:
• T o activate Manual Slope Mode, press
and hold the remote control manual
mode button (o) for 3 seconds.
• T o re-engage full self-leveling, press and
hold the manual mode button again for
3 seconds.
Setting the Slope Direction:
• W hen Manual Slope Mode is activated,
the unit automatically engages Manual
Y Mode. This allows the operator to slope
the laser in the direction of the Y-axis,
as indicated by the "gunsights" on the
rollcage.
In certain situations, it may be desirable to
slope the laser in the X-axis. The direction
of Manual Slope Mode can be changed
back and forth between the Y- and
X-axes as follows:
– Immediately (within 5 seconds) after
entering Manual Slope Mode, press
and hold the remote control right arrow
button to activate Manual X Mode.
– The unit can be changed back to
Manual Y Mode by immediately
pressing and holding the remote control
left arrow button.
– To change the direction of Manual
Slope Mode at a later time, re-engage
full self-leveling, then activate Manual
Slope Mode again and go through the
axis selection procedure outlined above.
The X and Y LED indicator lights on the
laser unit control panel (k, l) will indicate the
manual slope direction that is selected. The
manually controlled axis is identified by a
turned-off LED, and the self-leveling axis is
identified by a lighted LED.
Setting the Amount of Slope:
Once Manual Slope Mode is activated, the
amount of slope can be manually adjusted
using any of the following methods:
• U se the laser control panel up and down
arrow buttons (h, i) to tilt the laser rotor
head up and down.
OR
• U se the remote control up and down
arrow buttons (p) to tilt the laser rotor
head up and down.
OR
• T he entire laser unit can be tipped up and
down by setting it on a sloped surface.
Make sure the laser unit is positioned so
the direction of manual sloping is lined
up in the same direction as the sloped
surface.
ReMote contRol: aRRoW Buttons
The arrow buttons (p, q) are used for different
functions depending on the operating mode of the
laser unit.
In Self-Leveling Horizontal Mode:
The up and down arrows (p) adjust the length of
the laser line in Scan Mode.
