Using the Laser on a Floor
The laser level can be positioned directly on the floor for leveling and
plumbing applications such as framing walls.
Place the laser on a relatively smooth and level surface where it

NOTE:
The laser will be easier to set up for wall applications if the
rotation speed is set to 0 RPMs and the remote control is used
to line up the laser with control marks. The remote allows one
person to set up the laser.
Using the Laser With a Laser Detector
How the Detector works
Some laser kits include a D
D WALT Digital Laser Detector allows you to locate a laser beam
e
emitted by a rotary laser in bright light conditions or over long
distances.
• The detector can be used in both indoor and outdoor situations
where it is difficult to see the laser beam.
• The detector is not for use with non-rotating lasers but is
compatible with most rotary red-beam (DW080LRS) and green
beam (DW080LGS) lasers.
• The detector can be set to indicate the location of the beam to

either the nearest 5/64" (2 mm) or the nearest 3/64" (1 mm).
• The detector gives both visual signals through the display window
(Figure ) and audio signals through the speaker (Figure

to indicate the location of the laser beam.
