Never look into the laser beam directly and intentionally.

Do not use optical tools to view the laser beam.

Do not set up the tool at a position where the laser beam

can cross any person at head height.
Do not let children come near the laser.

If the laser line brightness suddenly increases or the projected

line becomes distorted this may indicate a broken lens.
To prevent a laser hazard the tool must not be used.
Use non-rechargeable batteries only. Do not connect the

laser to any other type of power source.

Assembly
Warning! Make sure that the tool is switched off.
Fitting the batteries (fig. A)
Remove the battery cover (5) from the tool.

Insert the batteries into the tool in the orientation as shown.

Refit the cover and let it click into place.

Installing the tool.
The tool can be mounted to a wall. To optimise the length of
the laser line, the tool must be installed onto its bracket.
Fitting the tool to the mounting bracket.
Install the tool by clinging the magnetic back of the tool to

the ring of the mounting bracket.
To remove the tool from the bracket, pull the tool off.

Wall mounting (fig. B & C)
The tool can be mounted to walls using the mounting bracket
with a screw (I), a wall pin (II), or an adhesive strip (III) (optional).
Keyhole wall mount
The keyhole wall mount (6) is used for mounting to most wall
constructions.
Drive a screw into the wall.

Hang the wall mount onto the fastener by the keyhole (6).

Fit the tool to the bracket.

Wall pin
If the tool is mounted to drywall or other soft materials,
the wall pin must be used:
Expose the wall pin (7) by rotating the pin base to the right.

Hold the mounting bracket with the wall pin at the required

height in front of a suitable location and press the pin
straight into the wall.
Fit the tool to the mounting bracket.

Warning! The pin of the bracket is sharp and should be
handled with care.
Adhesive strip
If the unit is mounted to surfaces where screws or nails cannot
be used, a removable adhesive adhesive strip (8) must be
used. Adhesive strips can be obtained from your local retailer.
Warning! Test the strip on an inconspicuous area to make
sure it does not damage the surface material.
Peel the protective foil from one side of the strip (8).

Stick the strip to the bracket.

Peel the protective foil from the other side of the strip.

Press the bracket with the strip to the wall.

Fit the tool to the bracket.

To remove the strip, proceed as follows:
Remove the tool from the bracket.

Hold the bracket with one hand and grasp the end of the

adhesive strip with the other hand.
Slowly stretch the strip parallel to the wall and away from

the bracket, until the entire strip has released.
Dispose of the strip.

Use
Install the tool as required.

Switch the tool on.

Adjust the position of the tool as necessary to position the

laser line. Be aware that extreme temperature changes
may affect the adjustment of the unit.
After finishing work, always switch off the tool.

Setting the laser line (fig. D)
The laser line can set to allow horizontal and vertical projection.
Press the button (4) into the following positions:

- position A: horizontal projection to the left
- position B: horizontal projection to the right
- position C: vertical projection
Adjusting the mounting bracket
The position of the bracket can be adjusted to fine-adjust the
tool.
Move the keyhole portion up or down.

Switching on and off
To switch on in locked/layout mode, slide the switch (1)

into the centre position.
To switch on in auto-levelling mode, slide the switch (1) to

the right.
To switch off, slide the switch (1) to the left.

Using the laser in auto-leveling mode (fig. E)
Direct the laser line if necessary.
