If you press the Slope Mode button
automatically engages the X-Axis. This allows you to slope the laser in the
direction of the X-Axis, as indicated by the X mark on the top roll cage.
• In certain situations, it may be desirable to slope the laser in the Y-axis.
The direction of Slope Mode can be changed back and forth between the
Y-axis and the X-axis by pressing the X-Y axis button

BEFORE using the laser for your first project, follow the instructions for
Checking the Calibration.
Checking the Calibration
Field calibration checks should be done frequently. This section provides
instructions for performing simple field calibration checks of your D
Rotary Laser. Field calibration checks do not calibrate the laser. That is, these
checks do not correct errors in the leveling or plumbing capability of the laser.
Instead, the checks indicate whether or not the laser is providing a correct level
and plumb line. These checks cannot take the place of professional calibration
performed by a D
WALT service center.

Level Calibration Check (X-axis)
1.
Position a tripod securely on the floor between two walls that are at least 50 feet
apart. The exact location of the tripod is not critical.
2.
Make sure that the top of the tripod is roughly level.
• The laser will self-level only if the top of the tripod is within ± 5˚ of level.
• If the laser is set up too far out of level, it will beep when it reaches the
limit of its leveling range. No damage will be done to the laser, but it will
not operate in an "out of level" condition.
3.
Attach a tripod adapter (Figure
assembled to the bottom for level mode or to the side for plumb mode.

Place the laser with the attached adapter on the tripod and screw the
threaded knob on the tripod into the female thread on the tripod adapter.

Calculate the Total Error using the following equation:

If your Total Error measurement is greater than the Allowable Error for
the corresponding Distance Between Walls in the following table, the laser
must be serviced at an authorized service center.
