FlooR set-uP (Fig. 5, 6)
The laser level can be positioned directly on the
floor for leveling and plumbing applications such as
framing walls.
1. Place the laser on a relatively smooth and level
surface where it will not be disturbed.
2. Position the laser for a level (fig. 6A) or plumb
(fig. 6B) setting.
3. Turn the laser on and adjust the rotation speed
and controls as desired.
NotE: The laser will be easier to set up for wall
applications if the rotation speed is set to 0 rpms
and if the remote control is used to line up the laser
with control marks. The remote allows one person to
set up the laser.
oPeRation
WARNING: Always observe the safety
instructions and applicable regulations.
• To extend battery life per charge, turn the laser
off when it is not in use.
• To ensure the accuracy of your work, check
the laser calibration often. Refer to Field
Callibration Check under Laser Maintenance.
• Before attempting to use the laser, make sure
the tool is positioned on a relatively smooth,
secure surface.
• Always mark the center of the laser line or
dot. If you mark different parts of the beam at
different times you will introduce error into your
measurements.
• To increase working distance and accuracy, set
up the laser in the middle of your working area.
• When attaching to a tripod or wall, mount the
laser securely.
• When working indoors, a slow rotary head
speed will produce a visibly brighter line, a faster
rotary head speed will produce a visibly solid
line.
• To increase beam visibility, wear Laser
Enhancement Glass es and/or use a Laser
Target Card to help find the beam.
• Extreme temperature changes can cause
movement or shifting of building structures,
metal tripods, equipment, etc., which can effect
accuracy. Check your accuracy often while
working.
• When working with the D
Detector, set the laser's rotation speed to the
fastest setting.

• If the laser is dropped or has suffers a sharp
blow, have the calibration system checked by a
qualified service center before using the laser.
laser control Panel (fig. 1)
The laser is controlled by the power button (e), the
speed/rotation button (f), the scan mode button
(g), and two arrows (h, i). The arrows control the
movement of the laser head left and right when the
laser is being used in the plumb mode.
Four LED indicator lights are on the control panel:
power (j), X-axis leveling (k), Y-axis leveling (l) and
remote control private mode (m).
tuRning the laseR on (Fig. 1)
1. Insert the fully charged battery pack. Be sure
that the battery door is securely latched.
2. Gently press the power button (e) to power the
laser on. The power LED indicator light (j) will
illuminate. If the laser is out of level, the X-axis
(k) and/or Y-axis (l) leveling lights will flash until
the laser is level. Press the speed/rotation
button (f) to adjust the rotation speed.
NotE: The head will begin or resume rotation once
the laser is level.
tuRning the laseR oFF
Gently press the power button to turn the laser
off. The power LED indicator light will no longer be
illuminated.
laser control Panel Buttons
PoWeR Button
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.
NotE: Press the remote control power button 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 on the control panel of the
laser unit. Press the remote control power button
again to "wake up" the laser unit.
aRRoW Buttons
The arrow buttons (h, i) are used for different
functions depending on the operating mode of the
laser unit.
In Self-Leveling Horizontal Mode:
The arrows buttons adjust the direction of
the laser beam in Scan Mode or Pointing
Mode (0 rpm).
