Using the Laser

Operating Tips
• Always mark the center of the beam created by
the laser.
• Extreme temperature changes may cause
movement of internal parts that can affect accuracy.
Check your accuracy often while working.
• If the laser is ever dropped, check to make sure it
is still calibrated.
• As long as the laser is properly calibrated, the
laser is self-leveling. Each laser is calibrated at
the factory to find level as long as it is positioned
on a flat surface within average ± 4° of level. No
manual adjustments are required.
• Use the laser on a smooth, flat, level, surface.
