Turning the Laser On
Place the laser on a fl at level surface. Slide the Power/
Transport Lock switch
to the right to unlock/turn

ON the laser.
Each laser line is powered on by pressing its button on
the keypad (Figure
). Pressing the button again
F 3
turns the laser line off. The laser lines can be powered
one at a time or all at the same time.

When the laser is not in use, slide the Power/Transport
Lock switch to the left in the OFF/Locked position. If
the Power/Transport Lock switch is not placed in the
lock position, all 4 LEDs will continuously fl ash on the
Battery Meter.
Checking Laser Accuracy
The laser tools are sealed and calibrated at the factory.
It is recommended that you perform an accuracy check
prior to using the laser for the fi rst time (in case the
laser was exposed to extreme temperatures) and then
regularly to ensure the accuracy of your work. When
performing any of the accuracy checks listed in this
manual, follow these guidelines:
• Use the largest area/distance possible, closest to the
operating distance. The greater the area/distance,
the easier to measure the accuracy of the laser.
• Place the laser on a smooth, fl at, stable surface that
is level in both directions.
• Mark the center of the laser beam.
Horizontal Beam - Scan Direction
Checking the horizontal scan calibration of the laser
requires two walls 30' (9m) apart. It is important to
conduct a calibration check using a distance no shorter
than the distance of the applications for which the tool
will be used.
Place the laser against the end of the wall on a
