LAR 350 1. Intended Use The STABILA LAR-350 is an easy-to-use rotation laser for horizontal and vertical levelling, including obtaining plumb lines. The LAR-350 has a sealed enclosure (IP 65) for use on construction sites. It is self-levelling within a range of ± 5°.
Do not look into the direct or reflected beam. The STABILA laser goggles available for our laser devices do not constitute safety eyewear; their function is to improve the visibility of the laser beam.

Suitable rechargeable batteries can also be used. LED indicator: Yellow LED (6): Battery capacity low - insert new battery 2x 1.5V Used batteries should be disposed of at...
LAR 350 6. Using the Laser Unit Place the laser unit in the appropriate working position (vertical or horizontal). To start the laser, press button (3). Holding this button for a longer period will switch the laser off again. Activating the self-levelling function causes the unit to level itself automatically.
LAR 350 7. Tilt function The tilt function warns if any interference to the laser has occurred that may cause misalignment. This ensures that such interference does not go unnoticed. When the tilt function is active, the white LED (5) is lit stea- dily.
LAR 350 8.1 Automatic Operation with Tilt Function This mode is always set directly after the unit is switched on (button 3). Other modes can be selected by pressing button (3) or button (4) or using the remote control unit. In ‘Automatic’...
LAR 350 8.2 Automatic Operation with Relevelling In some situations (e.g. when working on a shaking or vibrating surface), the tilt function can be a hindrance. With automatic relevelling, on the other hand, the unit is readjusted each time it is knocked out of alignment. Press button (3) x 2 = 1x switch on + 1x deactivate tilt function.
LAR 350 9.1 Manual Operation with Tilt Function In manual mode the laser plane is aligned by hand. Neither self-levelling nor relevelling are active. The unit does not level itself. If the tilt function is active, interferences (shocks, vibrations) that could misalign the unit from its exact original setting do not go unnoticed.
LAR 350 9.2 Manual Operation without Tilt Function In manual operation without tilt function, neither automatic mode, the tilt function nor relevelling are active. In this mode the unit is aligned entirely by hand. The unit does not level itself. Place the laser unit in the appropriate working position (vertical or horizontal).

LAR 350 Functions Point function --> p. 15 The laser beam is visible as a point on the target surface Canonly be set by remote control Plumb-line function Transfers a determined point from the floor to the ceiling. To transfer a plumb line from a floor marking to the ceiling, the laser unit is aligned exactly with the cross mark with the 4 marking points (14).
LAR 350 11. Operation with Remote Control SHIFT The LAR 350 features an innovative remote control unit. 18. LED indicator for SHIFT button It allows a wide range of functions and settings to be in- 19. LED indicator: transmitting telligently controlled. Settings are made by pressing the relevant button while simultaneously rotating the remote 20.
LAR 350 12. Settings and Applications 13. Rotation Function/Rotation Speed The rotation function is set when the unit is switched on and can also be set at any time with button (25). In rotation mode the laser beam rotates. By holding down button (25) and simultaneously rotating the remote control unit the rotation speed can be infinitely adjusted up or down to 0 = point function.
LAR 350 14. Line Function in Scan Mode In scan mode the beam does not rotate. Instead, it moves to and fro rapidly between two points. The eye perceives this as a laser line. Button (24) switches the scan function on/off. When it is switched on, the scan line is always located opposite button (3) of the laser unit.
LAR 350 15. Inclining the Laser Axes (21) (17) Briefly pressing button (21) = laser x-axis or (22) = laser y-axis causes the rapidly flashing LEDs (blue or green) to indicate the corresponding laser axis. The laser axes can be adjusted independently through an inclination range of up to ±5°.
LAR 350 16.1 Vertical Function To enable the LAR 350 to perform vertical levelling and mar- king tasks, it is placed on its side on the feet integrated into the body. Position the unit so that the wording ‘VERTICAL MODE THIS SIDE UP’ appears on the top. The ope- rator display is then also at the top.
LAR 350 16.3 Rotating and Inclining the Laser Axes (21) Button (17) switches the laser axis rotation and inclination function on and off. Use buttons (21) and (22) to set the two laser axes. The corresponding LEDs flash during adjustment. (17) If only the laser y-axis is adjusted (button 22), the vertical alignment of the x-axis is retained.
LAR 350 17. Positioning the Laser Beam In certain applications it can be helpful to align the laser beam using only a single laser point. To do this, reduce the rotation speed to zero = point laser (button 25). --> Rotation Speed To rotate the laser point to the desired position, hold down (23) button (23).
LAR 350 18. Displaying the Alignment of the (21) Laser Axes The blue and green LEDs indicate the respective axes if button (21) = laser x-axis or (22) = laser y-axis is briefly pressed. (21) --> ‘Inclining the Laser Axes’ -->...
LAR 350 20. Section Mode (23) 180° Here the rotating laser beam is limited to a particular sector. This prevents malfunctions occurring outside the actual working area through interference with other devices. Within the specified sector, all function modes of the rotation laser are available.

LAR 350 22.1 Checking Accuracy The STABILA LAR 350 rotation laser has been designed for construction sites and has left our factory in a correctly adjusted condition. As with all precision instruments, you should regularly check the calibration accuracy of the unit.
LAR 350 22.2 Horizontal Check Checking the horizontal laser line level Be sure to adhere as closely as possible to the orientation of the unit as shown. 1. Place the LAR 350 on a horizontal surface or on a tripod at a distance of 5 or 10 m from a wall, with the operator panel towards the wall.
LAR 350 22.3 Adjustment - Horizontal If the tolerance level was exceeded in the horizontal check, the laser can be readjusted as follows. In each case the critical element is the distance that results from the measurement points taken from opposing positions, i.e. points 1+3 or 2+4. >...
LAR 350 22.4 Vertical Check Checking the vertical plumb-line laser To perform the vertical check, two parallel wall surfaces are required with a separation S of at least 10 metres. 1. Position the rotation laser directly in front of one of S = 10 m / 50 ft the walls, A, on its side-mounted feet as for vertical levelling.
LAR 350 22.5 Adjustment - Vertical If the tolerance level was exceeded in the vertical check, the laser can be readjusted as follows. When performing readjustments, ensure that the batteries are fully charged. > 5 sec Position the laser with the plumb axis towards the wall. Switch the laser off.
