Operating Tips

• Ensure battery is properly charged. If the "Power" LED light is
flashing, the battery needs to be charged.
• To extend battery life per charge, turn laser off when not working
with or marking the beam.
• To ensure the accuracy of your work, check to make sure your
laser is calibrated often. See "Field Calibration" section.
• Before attempting to level the laser, make sure the tool is
positioned on a relatively smooth surface.
• The more accurately centered the bubbles are in the vials, the
more accurate the laser beam will be for working.
• Your D WALT laser is equipped with 2, side by side laser diodes
E
which produce an extremely bright, visible beam when the laser
head is rotated.
• Always mark the center of the laser line or dot.
• To increase working distance and accuracy, set up the laser in the
middle of your working area.
• When attaching to a tripod or wall, mount the laser securely.
• When working indoor a slow rotary head speed will produce a
visibly brighter line, a faster rotary head speed will produce a
visibly solid line.
• To increase beam visibility, wear the Laser Enhancement Glasses
provided and/or use the Laser Target Card to help find the beam.
• To transfer a laser dot mark use the Manual Rotation Button on
the top of the laser head for quick and easy control. See "Manual
Page 5

Head Rotation Button" section for instructions.
• Extreme temperature changes can cause movement of internal
parts that can effect accuracy. Check your accuracy often while
working.
• When working with the D WALT Digital Laser Detector set the
E
laser variable speed control to the highest setting (600 RPM).
• Utilize the Bump Sensor feature on the laser to warn you if the tool
has been bumped after set up.
• If the laser has been dropped or has tipped over while set up on a
tripod, have the calibration system checked by a qualified service
center before continuing use.
