OPERATION

E
To Turn the Laser On and Off (fig. 1)
With the laser off, place it on a flat surface. This model has three
ON/OFF buttons, one for a horizontal laser line (c), one for a vertical
laser line (d) and one for a side vertical laser line (e). Each laser line is
powered on by pressing its ON/OFF button. The laser lines can be
powered one at a time or at the same time. Pressing the ON/OFF
buttons again turns the laser lines off.

Using the Laser

The beams are level or plumb as long as the calibration has been
checked (see Field Calibration Check) and the laser beam is not
flashing (see Out of Tilt Range Indicator).
OUT OF TILT RANGE INDICATOR (FIG. 2)
The DW089/DW089CG laser is designed to self-level. If the laser has
been tilted so much that it cannot level itself (average > 4° tilt), it will
flash the laser beam. The flashing beam indicates the tilt range has
been exceeded and IS 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.
SLOPING THE LASER
If the DW089/DW089CG laser is tilted beyond 15° out of level, its laser
beams will stay on longer between flashes to make it easier to do
angled work.
USING THE PIVOT BRACKET (FIG. 1)
The DW089/DW089CG laser has a magnetic pivot bracket (f)
permanently attached to the unit. This bracket allows the unit to
be mounted to any upright surface made of steel or iron. Common
examples of suitable surfaces include steel framing studs, steel door
frames, and structural steel beams. The bracket also has a keyhole
slot (g) allowing the unit to be hung from a nail or screw on any kind of
surface.
