First steps
• Remove any protective plastic film where applied.
• Charge the rechargeable batteries using the battery charger.
• The indicator lights come on when the charger is connected to the mains supply.
These go out when the batteries have been charged.
• NB: always use rechargeable batteries in the charger.
• Open the battery compartment and insert the batteries observing the polarity indicated.
• Then switch on the instrument; the power indicator remains continuously lit. If the batteries are
nearly exhausted, the power indicator will flash.
• Take care not to place the instrument at too great an angle (less than 4°). If the slope of the
instrument should exceed 4°, the lasers will flash automatically or will go out.
• Use the adjustable feet or place the support such that the level indicatoris continuously lit for 10
seconds, and the laser beams no longer flash.
• NB: this instrument may also be used with a mains adaptor to operate directly from mains power.
Make sure that the mains cable does not lie in the road (damage caused by a fall).
Horizontal alignment
• Once the instrument is within its levelling range, then the laser lines are automatically level.
• The horizontal lines may be turned on or off using button "H".
• If possible, it is recommended that the horizontal line should be placed at working height.
This will improve the quality of your work.
• NB: cross and line lasers can only be used on supports of adjustable height, such as tescopic
and rod supports.
• Before placing the instrument on a support, the support adaptor should be mounted on the
instrument. Only use supports with a 5/8 screw thread.
• Important: to a large extent, choice of support will determine how easy the
instrument is to use.
• If the workplace is very brightly lit, when working out of doors for example, it may be necessary
to use the laser receiver.
