8. Self-Check and Calibration
IMPORTANT: It is the responsibility of the user to verify the
calibration of the instrument before each use.
Horizontal Line for Level
1. Set the wall mount/tripod adapter on a tripod or flat surface approxi-
mately 10 ft. away from a reference wall.
2. Unlock the transportation lock on the unit.
3. Set the laser inside the wall mount/tripod adapter.
4. Press the horizontal laser line button (H) and the Vertical Laser Line
button (V1).
5. Point the cross line at the reference wall (It is important to see the
laser line very clearly.This test should be performed indoors and
in low light conditions).
6. Mark the intersection of the cross line as point A.
7. Rotate the laser unit counter clockwise until the laser cross line is 8 feet
away from point A (to the left of point A). Mark the laser line at point A
as point B.
8. Rotate the laser unit clockwise until the cross line is 8 feet to the right
of point A.
9. Mark the laser line at Point Aas point C.
10. If the distance between point B and point C is greater then 1/16” the
unit needs to be recalibrated. (See calibration information)

3Vertical Lines for Plumb
1. Use a plumb line or known vertical reference point.
2. Turn the laser unit on following the instructions above.
3. Rotate the laser unit so the vertical laser line intersects the plumb line.
4. Check all three vertical lines.
5. If the vertical laser line is not parallel with the plumb line (i.e. intersects
at the top and bottom), the unit needs to be recalibrated. (See
calibration information).
Self-Calibration Adjustment
Self-Calibrating the side vertical laser lines (not the front
vertical laser line) for plumb
1. There are two self calibration ports inside the battery compartment.
2. Remove the rubber plugs.
3. Unlock the compensator.
4. Use a 2mm hex head wrench.
5. Turn the calibration screw counter clockwise to
move the top of the side vertical lines back towards
the battery compartment. Move one screw at time.
Do not rotate the screw more then 4 rotations. If the vertical line is
still not plumb after moving one screw 4 rotations, the second screw
can be rotated in the same direction. Do not rotate the second screw
more then 4 rotations.
6. If the vertical lines can not be brought into plumb after 4 rotations of
each screw,the unit will need to be serviced by Johnson Level & Tool.

Self-Calibrating the horizontal laser line and front vertical laser line
1. Locate calibration port on the side of the laser unit.
2. Remove the rubber plug.
3. Unlock the compensator.
4. Use a 2mm hex head wrench.
5. Rotate the screw counter clockwise to lower the
left side of the horizontal line and to adjust the top
of the front vertical line to the left. Do not rotate the screw more
then 4 rotations.
6. If the laser lines can not be brought into calibration after 4 rotations
the unit will need to be serviced by Johnson Level & Tool.
