Power source:

This is a special battery pack located in the base of the laser. Remove & refit
via a central screw - its finger tight, so no tools are required.
It contains 4pc x "sealed for life" Ni-MH type C, 4000mAh, 1.2V cells. Please
note that this battery pack can be charged either in or outside of the laser.
The mains Charger (supplied) will charge most batteries in around 7 hours to
give around 20hrs of continuous use. It takes 4 to 5 charge/discharge cycles
for these battery packs to reach their maximum capacity.

Summary of Contents for Fukuda FRE-208

  • Page 1 Tel: 01246 269777 Thank you for purchasing the FRE-208 TRUE GRADE, Rotary laser level kit. These Instructions are intended to explain the quick basics to operating this equipment. We also include with this kit a useful data sheet: “Gradient Conversion Chart”...
  • Page 2 NOT attempt to recharge them, otherwise serious damage will occur. Positioning the Laser: Mount the FRE-208 on a generally level, firm surface or 5/8” threaded Tripod. To operate correctly, this surface must be within +/-5 deg of true horizontal.
  • Page 3 For Interior work we suggest using slower speeds, where the laser beam is easier to see by eye; but for Exterior Groundworks – run the FRE-208 @ its maximum speed of 600rpm, which gives the best working range when used with the supplied FRD400R Laser Detector.
  • Page 4 Setting Y axis slope - This sets a grade in the Y axis. Procedure – switch ON; the FRE-208 then auto levels. Press the red "G" button on the Remote Control or laser's keypad & the "X" illuminates on the screen.
  • Page 5 Operated via bottom, right-hand white button, showing a "picture of a tilted instrument". nb. its not an option found on the Remote Control. Once the FRE-208 is ON and rotating in the auto (self) levelled mode, the automatic drift system can be activated. Press the button & TILT will be displayed on the screen.
  • Page 6 If the sun is low in the sky & shining into the red window, shield it with a cupped hand to prevent false readings. Positioning the FRE-208 itself in full sun is no problem, but the detector window can in some instances, be affected by direct bright sunlight or reflections.
  • Page 7 General Advice: This is an accurate measuring device - so to give good service, look after it! Prevent the FRE-208 from receiving severe knocks, bangs or vibration. Store the laser & its accessories in the supplied carry case. If wet, dry before storing. Keep in storage temperatures between 5-30 deg C.
