REMOTE CONTROL: ARROW BUTTONS
The arrow buttons (I, J) are used for different functions depending
on the operating mode of the laser unit.
In Self-Leveling Horizontal Mode:
In this mode, the arrow buttons have no function.
In Manual Horizontal Mode:
The arrow buttons (I) are used to tilt the laser head up or down
in the X or Y directions as marked on the protective roll cage
of the laser unit.
In Manual Vertical Mode:
The up and down arrows (I) tilt the laser beam clockwise and
counterclockwise.
The left and right arrows (J) move the laser beam left and
right.
NOTE: The DW078 does not have a self-leveling vertical
mode.
Height of Instrument Alert
The DW078 has a built-in alarm feature that alerts the operator if
the unit is disturbed after the unit has self-leveled. The laser unit will
stop rotating, the laser control panel LED indicator light will flash
and the beeper will sound.
TO RESET THE LASER UNIT FOR CONTINUED USE
• Turn the unit off and back on again using the power button on
the control panel.
OR
• Put the unit in sleep mode and then wake it back up using the
power button on the remote control.
NOTE: Always recheck the laser setup after the Height of
Instrument Alert has triggered.
Using the Laser on a Tripod
1. Position the tripod securely and set it to the desired height.
2. Make sure that the top of the tripod is roughly level. The laser
will self-level only if the top of the tripod is within ± 5˚ of level. If
the laser is set up too far out of level, it will beep when it reaches
the limit of its leveling range. No damage will be done to the
laser, but it will not operate in an "out of level" condition.
3. Secure the laser to the tripod by screwing the threaded knob on
the tripod into the female thread on the bottom of the laser.
NOTE: Be sure that the tripod you are working with has a
5/8"–11 threaded screw to ensure secure mounting.
4. Turn the laser on.
