Maintenance

• To maintain the accuracy of your work,
have the laser checked often to make sure
it is properly calibrated.
• Calibration checks and other maintenance repairs can be
performed by D WALT service centers. Two free calibration checks

• When not in use, store the laser in the kit box provided.
• Do not store your laser in the kit box if the laser is wet. Allow laser
to air dry and dry exterior parts with a soft dry cloth.
• Do not store your laser at temperatures below 0˚ F or above 105˚F.
CLEANING: Exterior plastic parts may be cleaned with a damp
cloth and mild detergent. Although these parts are highly solvent
resistant, NEVER use solvents. Use a soft dry cloth to remove
moisture from tool and accessories before storage. Never use
compressed air to clean the laser.
Field Calibration Check
This section provides instructions by which you can perform simple
field calibration checks of your D
E
cannot take the place of professional calibration done by a D
service center.
These instructions will help you check for the three types of out-of-level
errors.
• Tilt Error- checks that rotation of the head in your Rotary Laser is
perfectly level.
• Cone Error- checks that the laser beams are not at an angle
relative to the level head.
• Plumb Error- checks the calibration of the plumb leveling vial.
TILT ERROR CHECKS
Horizontal Checking for Front to Back Tilt Error
• Set up a tripod midway between 2 vertical surfaces about 100'
apart.
• Mount your Rotary Laser on a tripod so it is aimed front-to-back
toward the vertical surfaces. (next page)
• Level the Laser, following the procedure in the "Horizontal Leveling"
section of this manual.
• Quick Check:
1. Compare the position of the bubbles in
front and rear vials (Fig. AA).
