ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION – SPIRIT/LASER LEVEL
LEVELING LASER BEAM
The laser level can be used in both
horizontal and vertical positions. To confirm
the tool is "level", shim the front or rear until
the spirit level bubble (1) is centred
between the lines on the sight glass (2)
(see Fig. 14). To raise one end of the level,
place shims (3) under the "low" end until
the bubble in the sight glass indicates a
"level" position.

SELECTING LASER BEAM TYPE
The laser beam can be set to two different
types.
Single dot
To create a single dot laser beam, slide the
light diffuser (1) upward (see Fig. 15).
Horizontal line
To create a horizontal laser line, slide the
light diffuser (1) downward (see Fig. 16).

MITRE GAUGE
The laser level can be used in conjunction
with the mitre gauge for marking the cutting
line on a workpiece. This is particularly
handy when marking ceramic tiles.
Although the mitre gauge can be used as a
guide for marking any workpiece, ceramic
tiles have been used for illustrative
purposes.
1. Turn level up side down see (Fig. 17).
2. Insert mitre gauge pivot pin (1) into the
matching hole in the level.
3. Place flat edge of mitre gauge (2)
against flat side of the workpiece (3).
4. Rotate the level on the mitre gauge
pivot pin to the correct angle.
NOTE: For precise mitre angles, the
ball in the mitre gauge will engage with
the detent in the level at the most
commonly used angles (15, 30, 45, 60,
75 & 90°).
5. Use either a grease pencil or scribing
tool to mark the cutting line in the
appropriate location.
NOTE: Most ceramic tiles can be
marked with the grease pencil. This is
the preferred method of marking. If the
grease pencil will not mark a specific
type of tile, use the scribing tool
supplied.
