• The bottom LED will illuminate and flash when the
battery level is low (10%). The laser may continue
to operate for a short time while the battery power
continues to drain, but the beam(s) will quickly dim.
• After the 12V/18V Li-ion battery is charged, and
the laser is turned ON again, the laser beam(s) will
return to full brightness and the battery indicator
level will indicate full capacity.

Operating Tips
• To extend battery life per charge, turn the laser off
when it is not in use.
• To ensure the accuracy of your work, check
the laser calibration often. Refer to Checking
Laser Accuracy.
• Before attempting to use the laser, make sure it is
positioned securely, on a smooth, flat stable surface
that is level in both directions.
• To increase beam visibility, use a Laser Target Card
(Figure ) and/or wear Laser Enhancement Glass-
N
es (Figure ) to help find the beam.
O
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of serious injury,
never stare directly into the laser beam with or
without these glasses. Refer to Accessories
for important information.
• Always mark the center of the beam created by
the laser.
• Extreme temperature changes can cause movement
or shifting of building structures, metal tripods,
equipment, etc., which can effect accuracy. Check
your accuracy often while working.
• If the laser has been dropped, check to make sure
your laser is still calibrated. Refer to Checking
Laser Accuracy.
