the DW079 laser unit.
To activate Public Mode:
• Press and hold the speed/rotation button

unit will power up in Public Mode if:
• The laser was last used in Public Mode
OR

padlock symbol) and at the same time
press and hold the remote control scan
mode button (s) (closed padlock symbol).
After 4 seconds, both the laser unit

Mode. As confirmation, the laser unit will
beep and the laser control panel LED (m)
(next to the closed padlock symbol) and
the remote control LED (u) (next to the
closed padlock symbol) will flash.

Wireless Remote Control (fi g. 1)
The remote control allows one person to operate
and set up the laser from a distance. The remote
control features a power button (n), manual mode
button (o), four arrows (p, q), speed/rotation button
(r) and scan mode button (s). Two LED indicator
lights are on the remote control: transmit (t) and
private mode (u).
REMOTE CONTROL: POWER BUTTON
Press the remote control power button (n) to put the
laser unit into Sleep Mode. In Sleep Mode all laser
unit functions shut off except for a periodic blink
from the power LED (j) on the control panel of the
laser unit. Press the remote control power button
again to "wake up" the laser unit.
NOTE: To completely power the laser unit off,
the power button on the control panel of the
laser unit must be pressed. The laser unit will also
automatically power off if it is left in Sleep Mode for
8 hours.
REMOTE CONTROL: MANUAL MODE BUTTON
To activate Manual Mode, press and hold the remote
control manual mode button (o) for 3 seconds.
Manual Mode must be activated to use manual
sloping. (Refer to Using Manual Slope Mode for a
complete description of this function.)
To re-engage full self-leveling, press and hold the
manual mode button again for 3 seconds.
Using Manual Slope Mode:
The DW079 Manual Slope Mode allows the
self-leveling function to be disabled in one axis
(direction) so that the laser can be sloped in that
axis. The other axis will continue to self-level,
ensuring that the laser beam is only sloping in
the expected direction.
Entering and exiting Manual Slope Mode:
• To activate Manual Slope Mode, press
and hold the remote control manual
mode button (o) for 3 seconds.
• To re-engage full self-leveling, press and
hold the manual mode button again for
3 seconds.
Setting the Slope Direction:
• When Manual Slope Mode is activated,
the unit automatically engages Manual
Y Mode. This allows the operator to slope
the laser in the direction of the Y-axis,
as indicated by the "gunsights" on the
rollcage.
In certain situations, it may be desirable to
slope the laser in the X-axis. The direction
of Manual Slope Mode can be changed
