Mounting Bracket
Some laser kits include a mounting bracket, which can be used for attaching the
tool to a track or to a ceiling grid to aid in acoustical ceiling installation. Follow
the directions below for using the mounting bracket.
CAUTION:
Before attaching the laser level to wall track or ceiling angle, be
sure that the track or angle is properly secured.

Position the clamp jaws around the wall track or ceiling angle and
tighten the clamp locking knob (Figure
onto the track. Be sure that the clamp locking knob is securely tightened
before proceeding.
CAUTION:
Always use a ceiling wire hanger or equivalent material, in addition
to the clamp locking knob, to help secure the laser level while
mounting it to a wall. Thread the wire through the handle of the
laser level. DO NOT thread the wire through the protective metal
cage. Additionally, screws may be used to fasten the bracket
directly to the wall as a backup. Screw holes (Figure
located at the top of the bracket.

move the laser level up and down to set your height. Use the measuring
scale (Figure
) to pinpoint your mark.
P 7
NOTE: It may be helpful to turn the power on and turn the rotary head so
that it puts a dot on one of the laser scales. The DeWALT target card is
marked at 1–1/2" (38 mm), so it may be easiest to set the offset of the laser
to 1–1/2" (38 mm) below the track.
8.
Once you have positioned the laser at the desired height, tighten the
locking knob (Figure
) to maintain this position.

Construction Grade Rod
DANGER:
NEVER attempt to use a grade rod in a storm or near overhanging
electric wires. Death or serious personal injury will occur.
Some laser kits include a grade rod. The D
measurement scales on both sides and is constructed in telescoping sections.
A spring-loaded button actuates a lock to hold the grade rod at various lengths.
The front of the grade rod has the measurement scale starting at the bottom.
Use this for measuring from the ground up when grading or leveling jobs.
The back of the grade rod is designed to measure the height of ceilings, joists,
etc. Fully extend the top section of the grade rod until the button locks into the
previous section. Extend that section either until it locks into the adjacent section
or until the grade rod touches the ceiling or joist. The height is read where the
last extended section exits the previous lower section (Figure
