5. Adjust the height of the unit until the beam hits the mark from step 3.
6. Turn the unit 180˚, and aim the beam near the mark on the first wall from step 2 (Fig. J).
7. Measure the vertical distance between the beam and the mark.
8. If the measurement is greater than the values shown below, the laser must be serviced
at an authorized service center.
Distance Between Walls
7.5 m (25')
15 m (50')
23 m (75')
Troubleshooting
The laser does not turn on
• Make sure batteries are installed according to (+), (-) markings on battery door.
• Make sure the batteries are in proper working condition. If in doubt, try installing
new batteries.
• Make sure that the battery contacts are clean and free of rust or corrosion. Be sure to
keep the laser level dry and use only new, high-quality batteries to reduce the chance
of battery leakage.
• If the laser has been stored in extremely hot temperatures, allow it to cool.
The laser beams flash
The DW083/DW083CG laser level has been designed to self-level up to 4° in all directions
when positioned as shown in figure D. If the laser is tilted so much that internal mechanism
cannot plumb itself, it will flash the laser—the tilt range has been exceeded. THE FLASHING
BEAMS CREATED BY THE LASER ARE NOT LEVEL OR PLUMB AND SHOULD NOT BE USED
FOR DETERMINING OR MARKING LEVEL OR PLUMB. Try repositioning the laser on a more
level surface.
The laser beams will not stop moving
The DW083/DW083CG is a precision instrument. Therefore, if it is not positioned on a stable
(and motionless) surface, the tool will continue to try to find plumb. If the beam will not
stop moving, try placing the tool on a more stable surface. Also, try to make sure that the
surface is relatively flat, so that the laser is stable.
Cleaning
• Remove the batteries before cleaning the tool.
