Z-Axis Calibration - Makita SKR300 Service Manual

8c. Z axis Calibration
Vertical checking
1. Place laser in vertical mode, on a flat surface about 3m away from a
plumb line (at least 3m long).
2. Use the adjustable feet to rough level the laser to adjust the top
bubble vial (13).
3. Turn the laser on. Stop the rotation so that the beam is a point.
4. Hold the laser head and move the beam up and down the entire
length of the plumb line by hand. If the beam is slanted, and not
vertical like the plumb line, the Z axis needs calibration.
Vertical calibration
1. Place laser in vertical mode, turn the laser off before switching to
calibration mode.
2. Simultaneously press On / Off and Auto / Man.
3. Release On / Off key.
4. The X LED (23) blink, then the Y LED (21) stays on. Release the Auto
/ Man key.
5. The Z LED (19) blink rapidly, then slowly (indicate laser is ready to
be calibrated in Z axis).
6. Move the beam until it's vertical and parallel to the plumb line using
(2) or (3) on the detector or remote.
Saving the calibration
The laser is now calibrated in Z axis. Press (14) on laser or (5) on
detector or remote to save the calibration data. If you don't wish to
save the calibration, press the On / Off key on the laser.
