TROUBLESHOOTING

The Laser Does Not Turn On
♦ Make sure batteries are installed according to (+) and (–) on
the inside of the battery door.
♦ Make sure the batteries are in proper working condition. If in
doubt, try installing new batteries.
♦ Make sure that the battery contacts are clean and free of
rust or corrosion. Be sure to keep the laser level dry and use
only new, high-quality, name brand batteries to reduce the
chance of battery leakage.
♦ If the laser unit is heated above 120 ºF (50 ºC), the unit will
not turn on. If the laser has been stored in extremely hot
temperatures, allow it to cool. The laser level will not be
damaged by pressing the on/off button before cooling to its
proper operating temperature.

The Laser Beams Flash (Fig. C, D)
The DW088 lasers have been designed to self-level up to an
average of 4° in all directions when positioned as shown in Fig.
C. If the laser is tilted so much that internal mechanism cannot
level itself, it will flash the laser (Fig. D) – the tilt range has been
exceeded. THE FLASHING BEAMS CREATED BY THE LASER
ARE NOT LEVEL OR PLUMB AND SHOULD NOT BE USED
FOR DETERMINING OR MARKING LEVEL OR PLUMB. Try
repositioning the laser on a more level surface.
The Laser Beams Will Not Stop Moving
The DW088 lasers are precision instruments. Therefore, if the
laser is not positioned on a stable (and motionless) surface, the
laser will continue to try to find level. If the beam will not stop
moving, try placing the laser on a more stable surface. Also, try
to make sure that the surface is relatively flat, so that the laser
is stable.
