Page 7 OPERATION Pendulum Lock The LCL4 is a precision instrument and should be treated with care. When not in use, the pendulum should always be in the off position (figure1). Locking the pendulum allows the LCL4 to better withstand vibrations and shock incurred during transportation or Figure 1 if the unit is dropped.
OPERATION Horizontal, Vertical, Plumb & Cross Line Options The LCL4 has three line options, accessible by using the line options button located on the top of the instrument. If the unit has been turned on, the plumb up and down beams will always be on.

CALIBRATION It is recommended that you check your LCL4 periodically to assure its accuracy. To check level: Choose two walls approximately 4 - 5 metres apart (figure 1). Turn on the LCL4 to the “auto level” setting. With the laser 15cm away from and facing Surface 1, carefully mark the center of the line where the lines cross.
