Working with Tripod
A tripod 11 offers a stable, height-
adjustable measuring support.
Place the tool via the tripod mount
8 onto the 5/8-11 male thread of
the tripod and screw the locking
screw of thetripod tight.
Working with the Laser Target
With the laser target 10, it is
possible to project the laser mark
onto the floor or the laser height
onto a wall.
The red acrylic used in the laser
target enhances the laser beam,
making the laser dot more visible.
With the zero field and the scale,
the offset or drop to the required
height can be measured and
projected at another location. This
eliminates the necessity of
precisely adjusting the tool to the
height to be projected.
The laser target 10 has a
reflective coating that enhances
the visibility of the laser beam at
greater distances or in intense
sunlight. The brightness
intensification can be seen only
when viewing, parallel to the laser
beam, onto the laser target.
Laser Viewing Glasses
The laser viewing glasses filter out
the ambient light. This makes the
red light of the laser appear
brighter for the eyes.
Use with Accessories
-12-
The red plastic used in the glasses
enhances the laser beam, making
the laser dot more visible. These
glasses are particularly useful
when using the laser tool outdoors
or in brightly lit environments.
• Do not use the laser viewing
glasses as safety goggles. The
laser viewing glasses are used
for improved visualization of the
laser beam, but they do not
protect against laser radiation.
• Do not use the laser viewing
glasses as sun glasses or in
traffic. The laser viewing
glasses do not afford complete
UV protection and reduce
color perception.
Working with Wall Mount
The durable metal wall mount
provides a flexible, yet sturdy
means of positioning the tool in
the desired location.
1. Determine the approximate
height at which the laser
beam will need to be project.
2. Choose the surface on which
the mount will be attached,
wall, T-bar framing or beam.
3. Secure the mount to the
mounting surface
When mounting to a wall,
drive two or three study
screws into the wall with at
least one driven into a stud.
Make sure the screw heads
are wide than the upper end
of the screw openings.
