2. Use the Two-Position Pivoting Head Adjustment Lever to pivot the
laser head to a level setting for projecting a horizontal reference
beam. In this position the Manual Head Rotation Button (A) should
be pointing up towards the ceiling or sky.
3. The leveling knobs (B) control the orientation of the laser head on
the metal leveling plates and effect the movement of the bubbles in
the vials (C). When the laser level is placed in a level position the
front leveling knob controls the movement of the bubble in the front
vial. The side leveling knob controls the movement of the bubble in
the side vial. NOTE: The same leveling rules apply to the tool when
being used with the Wall Mount feature.
4. To level the laser, the bubbles in both the
front and side vials need to be centered
within the vials. TIP: The more accurately
you can center the bubbles within the
vials the more accurate your horizontal
laser reference beam will be.
5. To level the laser, turn the leveling knob
towards the bubble until the bubble is
centered in the vial. TIP: To move the bubble in the front vial to the
right, turn the front leveling knob to the left. To move the bubble in
the front vial to the left, turn the leveling knob to the right. Repeat the
procedure for the side vial.
6. Turn the laser on if not on already; adjust rotation speed and
controls as needed.
7. To project a level laser reference plane, adjust the rotation speed for
preferred visibility. Remember: Slow Speed = Bright Beam; Fast
Speed = Solid Beam
Vertical Plumbing
1. Set the laser on a relatively smooth and level surface. The tool
should be positioned on the large base plate under the battery pack.
Utilize the Base Leveling Knob (A) to roughly position the laser.
2. Use the Two-Position Pivoting Head Adjustment Lever to pivot the
laser head to a plumb setting for projecting a vertical reference

beam. In this position the pivoting laser head should be directly over
the Wall Mount Clamp and the Control Panel should be facing up
towards the ceiling or sky.
3. To plumb the laser, only the bubble in the Plumb Vial (D) needs to
be centered. TIP: The more accurately you can position the bubble
within the vial the more accurate your vertical laser reference beam
will be.
4. Looking over the top of the laser, turn the Plumb Leveling Knob
(B)(which is located on the side of the pivoting laser head in this
orientation) to move the bubble within the Plumb Vial (D). Turn the
plumb leveling knob towards the bubble until the bubble is centered
in the vial. TIP: Turn the knob in the opposite direction you need
the bubble to move.
5. Use the Plumb Beam Alignment Knob (C)(which is the knob next
to the Plumb Vial) to adjust the plumb laser reference plane over
your mark.
6. Turn the laser on if not on already; adjust rotation speed and
controls as needed.
7. To project a plumb laser reference plane, adjust
the rotation speed for preferred visibility.
Remember: Slow Speed = Bright Beam; Fast
Speed = Solid Beam
Manual Head Rotation Button
The laser has been designed with a protective cap
over the rotary head to prevent accidental damage
from work site activities. You can still access the
rotary head and manually direct the beam to
establish or transfer a mark. To manually rotate the
laser beam follow the instructions below.
If the laser is turned OFF, rotate the ON/OFF knob clockwise a 1/4
turn or less. Ensure that the laser diodes are powered on and that the
rotary head is not spinning. If the laser is ON and spinning, rotate the
ON/OFF knob counterclockwise until rotation of the head stops.
