Checking the Calibration
Field calibration checks should be done frequently. This section
provides instructions for performing simple field calibration checks
of your D
WALT Rotary Laser. Field calibration checks do not
e
calibrate the laser. That is, these calibration checks do not correct
errors in the leveling or plumb capability of the laser. Instead, these
checks indicate whether or not the laser is providing a correct level
and plumb line. These checks cannot take the place of professional
calibration performed by a D

Position a tripod securely on the floor between two walls that are at

least 50 feet apart. The exact location of the tripod is not critical.
Make sure that the top of the tripod is roughly level.

• The laser will self-level only if the top of the tripod is within ±
5˚ of level.
• If the laser is set up too far out of level, it will beep when it
reaches the limit of its leveling range. No damage will be done
to the laser, but it will not operate in an "out of level" condition.
