T a b l e o f C o n t e n t s Welcome to PLS laser tools. We believe you have chosen the finest laser tool in the world. We are committed to the highest quality standards in workmanship and materials. - Page 3 Point-to-point reference means you can plumb with a PLS5 or PLS3 literally from floor to ceiling or from 50 feet off the ground. With our PLS5, squaring or layout of 90° angles can be done faster than ever before.

Page 4: Introduction
They also use it to judge the work performed by subcontractors. Subcontractors use PLS lasers for layout on the job site. As much as 25% of the work day can be spent on layout. The PLS5 system gives square reference eas- ily and quickly. -
Page 5: Maintenance
M a in t e n a n c e Good care of the PLS 3 or PLS 5 is primarily common sense care. Remove the batteries from unit if the laser is to be stored for a considerable period of time. Keep the optic windows clean using a soft cloth or photographic grade cleaning tissue. -

Page 7: Safety Labeling & Instructions
Turn the laser off when not in use. CAUTION: USE OF CONTROLS, ADJUSTMENTS OR PROCEDURES OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED HEREIN MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS RADIATION EXPOSURE. These labels are attached to every PLS laser. These are not to be removed or defaced. -
Page 8: Beams
The five beams of the PLS are: #1 Forward Beam, #2 Down Beam, #3 Up Beam, #4 Left Beam, #5 Right Beam. All PLS5 beams have the same brightness and are square to each other. The three beams of the PLS... -
Page 9: Plumb
P l u mb To establish plumb with the PLS 5 and PLS 3 , place the #2 down beam over the mark to be transposed. See Fig.1. The #3 up beam is exactly plumb within specification. You can shoot plumb marks down and up, or cantilevered over the edge of a building/shaft opening or floor track, etc. -
Page 10: Level
L e v e l Precise level and grade marks are easily established with the PLS and PLS . Swivel the unit about its center, stopping to mark the desired level or grade points. See Fig. 4. Any stable surface can be used. When mounted on a tripod or wall mount, swivel and mark. -
Page 11: Square
S q u a r e To establish square, place the PLS with the #2 down beam over the layout reference line. See Fig. 7. Place the pendulum target on that line, and center #1 forward beam on the center of the target. - Page 12 C h e c k in g C a l ib r a t io n There are several easy methods to check the calibration and accuracy of the PLS and PLS We recommend that you check this periodically. METHOD 1 (PLS only) Quick Check of Performance Accuracy.
- Page 13 If there is a difference, subtract one measurement from the other. This method magnifies any error by a factor of two. Therefore, divide this difference by two to find the exact error of level. The maximum error for the PLS is 1/16” at 25’-0” or 1/8” at 50’-0.” The maximum error for the PLS is 1/8”...
- Page 14 C h e c k in g C a l ib r a t io n METHOD 3 (both PLS and PLS ) Exact Check of Plumb Accuracy. This requires significant vertical height (mini- MARK mum 10’-0”) and the ability to mark at that height. Place the unit with the #2 down beam exactly centered on both axes over a cross mark.

Page 15: Magnetic Bracket
To use the magnetic bracket with the PLS laser: 1. Screw the 1/4 x 20 threaded knob to the mount on the base of the PLS laser. 2. Mount the PLS laser and bracket to steel studs, steel door frame, I-beams, carpenter’s square, etc. -
Page 16: Target
Use the PLS pendulum target for a variety of time saving alignment tasks. For square: For con- sistent accuracy in establishing or checking square, use the PLS target to transfer the laser beam to the floor surface. To establish square, see page 8 of this manual. Always mount the laser on the floor stand when establishing square. -
