DeWalt DW077K Manual page 43

– Hold the tool at the desired position against the
wall and mark the location of the two mounting
holes on the wall (fig. D4).
– Drill a hole at each of the marked locations
(required: ø 6 mm, approx. 35 mm deep).
– Insert a corresponding plug into each of the
holes.
– Turn a screw into each of the plugs
(required: 6 x 50 mm).
– Hang the tool on the screws.
• Adjust the leveling knob (3) to stabilise the tool
when necessary.
• Adjust the tool for a level application.
Tripod set-up (fig. D5)
The tool has been equipped with a tripod receptacle
for mounting to the DE0735/DE0736 tripod
(optional) or any other tripod with the required
ratings stated in the technical data.
• Place the tripod (28) on a relatively smooth and
level surface.
• Mount the tool to the tripod by turning the threaded
pin (29) into the receptacle (30) in the base.
• Adjust the tool for a level or plumb application.
Adjusting the tool (fig. A, E1 & E2)
The tool can be adjusted for both level (fig. E1) and
plumb (fig. E2) applications.
Self-leveling feature (fig. A)
• To initiate the leveling procedure, switch on the
tool. The leveling procedure is indicated by the
flashing of the leveling indicators (16 & 17) and
the laser beam. Once the tool has found its level
position the leveling indicators and the laser
beam will stop flashing and remain on.
• The leveling indicators and the laser beam
repeatedly flash three times rapidly to indicate
that the tool has been set up at a slope that is
beyond the self-leveling range of 5°. Switch the
tool off, re-adjust the tool set-up within the self-
leveling range and switch the tool on again.
Level adjustment (fig. E1)
• Place the tool into the required position as shown.
• Switch on the tool to initiate the leveling
procedure.
Plumb adjustment (fig. E2)
• Place the tool into the required position as shown.
• Switch on the tool to initiate the leveling procedure.
As the leveling procedure for plumb applications
only requires adjustment of the Y axis, only the
corresponding leveling indicator (17) will be
operational.
Manually adjusting the level position (fig. A)
By using the remote control the tool can be adjusted
manually. The manual adjustment mode is
particularly useful in applications with slope angles in
both X and Y-axis.
• To activate the manual adjustment mode press
the key (22). The leveling indicators (16 & 17) go off.
• Use the keys (20) to adjust the tool in the X-axis.
• Use the keys (21) to adjust the tool in the Y-axis.
• To discontinue the manual adjustment mode,
press the key (22) again.
After discontinuing the manual leveling
mode the self-leveling feature automatically
takes over and re-adjusts the tool to level
position. The manual adjustments will be
lost immediately!
Aligning the laser line (fig. A & F1 - F5)
Level alignment
• With the tool switched on and the laser head
rotating, align the laser line with the position mark.
• If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
With tool in floor set-up (fig. F1):
• The tool can be placed on any sturdy object to
obtain the required height.
With tool in wall set-up (fig. F2):
• Loosen the locking knob (12) and adjust the rack
pinion wheel (9) to set the tool to the correct
position. Tighten the locking knob (12).
With tool in tripod set-up (fig. F3):
• Adjust the tripod to set the tool to the required
height.
Plumb alignment (fig. A, F4 & F5)
• With the tool switched on and the laser head
rotating, align the laser line with the position mark.
• If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
