Construction Grade Rod

DANGER: NEVER attempt to use a grade rod in a storm or
near overhanging electric wires. Death or serious personal injury
will occur.
Some laser kits include a grade rod. The D
marked with measurement scales on both sides and is constructed
in telescoping sections. A spring-loaded button actuates a lock to
hold the grade rod at various lengths.
The front of the grade rod has the measurement
scale starting at the bottom. Use this for measuring
from the ground up when grading or leveling
jobs.
The back of the grade rod is designed to measure
the height of ceilings, joists, etc. Fully extend the
top section of the grade rod until the button locks
into the previous section. Extend that section
either until it locks into the adjacent section or
until the grade rod touches the ceiling or joist. The
WALT
E
height is read where the last extended section
exits the previous lower section, as shown in
Figure 13.

Using the Laser with a Wall Mount

(Fig. 14, 15)
Some laser kits include a Wall Mount. It can be used for attaching
the tool to track or ceiling angle and to aid in acoustical ceiling
installation. Follow the directions below for using the wall mount.
CAUTION: Before attaching the laser level to wall track or ceiling
angle, be sure that the track or angle is properly secured.
1. Place the laser on the mounting base (KK) aligning the hole (LL)
on the bottom of the laser with the hole (MM) in the mounting
base. Turn the mounting knob (NN) to secure the laser.
2. With the wall mount measuring scale (OO) facing you, loosen
the wall mount clamp locking knob (PP) to open the clamp
jaws.
3. Position the clamp jaws around the wall track or ceiling angle
