Safety Notes
Working safely with the measuring tool is possi-
ble only when the operating and safety informa-
tion are read completely and the instructions con-
tained therein are strictly followed. Never make
warning labels on the measuring tool unrecognis-
able. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
fCaution – The use of other operating or adjusting equip-
ment or the application of other processing methods than
those mentioned here, can lead to dangerous ra-
diation exposure.
The measuring tool is delivered with a
warning label in German language
(marked with the number 4 in the rep-
resentation of the measuring tool on
the graphic page).
fBefore putting into operation for the first time, attach the
supplied sticker in your national language over the Ger-
man text on the warning label.
fDo not direct the laser beam at persons or animals and do
not stare into the laser beam yourself. This measuring tool
produces laser class 2 laser radiation according to
IEC 60825-1. This can lead to persons being blinded.
fDo not use the laser viewing glasses as safety goggles. The
laser viewing glasses are used for improved visualisation of
the laser beam, but they do not protect against laser radia-
tion.
fDo not use the laser viewing glasses as sun glasses or in
traffic. The laser viewing glasses do not afford complete
UV protection and reduce colour perception.
fHave the measuring tool repaired only through qualified
specialists using original spare parts. This ensures that the
safety of the measuring tool is maintained.
fDo not allow children to use the laser measuring tool with-
out supervision. They could unintentionally blind other per-
sons or themselves.

fDo not operate the measuring tool in explosive environ-
ments, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gas-
es or dusts. Sparks can be created in the measuring tool
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep the measuring tool away from cardiac
pacemakers. The magnets 8generate a field that
can impair the function of cardiac pacemakers.
fKeep the measuring tool away from magnetic data medi-
um and magnetically-sensitive equipment. The effect of
the magnets 8can lead to irreversible data loss.
Functional Description

Technical Data
Assembly
Inserting/Replacing the Battery
Alkali-manganese batteries are recommended for the measur-
ing tool.
To open the battery lid 9, press on the latch 12 and fold the
battery lid up. Insert the batteries. When inserting, pay atten-
tion to the correct polarity according to the representation on
the inside of the battery compartment.
Always replace all batteries at the same time. Only use batter-
ies from one brand and with the identical capacity.
fRemove the batteries from the measuring tool when not
using it for extended periods. When storing for extended
periods, the batteries can corrode and discharge them-
selves.

Operation
Initial Operation
fProtect the measuring tool against moisture and direct
sun light.
fDo not subject the measuring tool to extreme tempera-
tures or variations in temperature. As an example, do not
leave it in vehicles for longer periods. In case of large varia-
tions in temperature, allow the measuring tool to adjust to
the ambient temperature before putting it into operation.
fAvoid heavy impact to or falling down of the measuring
tool. Damage to the measuring tool can impair its accuracy.
After heavy impact or falling down, check the angle accura-
cy between the 0° and 90° laser line with the angle of a pre-
cision square.
Switching On and Off
To switch on the measuring tool, briefly press the On/Off
switch 1. Immediately after switching on, the measuring tool
sends out the two laser lines at 0° and 90°.
fDo not point the laser beam at persons or animals and do
not look into the laser beam yourself, not even from a
large distance.
To switch off the measuring tool, push the On/Off switch 1
again.
fDo not leave the switched on measuring tool unattended
and switch the measuring tool off after use. Other persons
could be blinded by the laser beam.
Working Advice
fAlways place the measuring tool level on the floor or fas-
ten it plane against the wall. When placing down or fasten-
ing unevenly, the angle will not be precisely 90°.
fWhen laying floor tiles, do not use spirit levels 3 and 5 for
levelling of the measuring tool. Spirit levels 3and 5are
used only for alignment against walls. When laying floor
tiles, the bubbles of the spirit levels can be within the
marks, without the measuring tool being level.
fAlways use the centre of the laser line for marking. The
width of the laser line changes with the distance.
fNever use the laser lines that the measuring tool standing
on the floor projects on the wall for alignment. The meas-
uring tool is not self-levelling. Therefore, the line on the wall
is distorted.

1 609 929 T81 | (6.8.09) Bosch Power Tools
fThe reference point for alignment of tiles is the intersect-
ing point P of the laser lines, directly in front of the meas-
uring tool. To project an angle, the measuring tool must be
rotated at this intersecting point, see figure E.
fPosition the measuring tool only on a clean wall holder 13.
The measuring tool cannot stand level on an uneven, soiled
wall holder surface, which could lead to faulty measuring re-
sults.
Positioning the Measuring Tool
When working on the floor, place down the measuring tool
with the bottom plate 10 facing the floor. Place the T-edge 7of
the tool against a wall so that the 0° laser line runs parallel to
the reference line (e.g. a wall), see figure A. Measure the clear-
ance between laser line and reference line directly at the meas-
uring tool and as far away as possible from the measuring tool.
Align the measuring tool in such a manner that both clearances
are equal.
When working on a wall, firstly fasten the wall holder 13 to the
wall, e.g. by placing the wall holder via an opening onto a
screw that lightly projects out of the wall. Then tighten the
screw to secure the wall holder, see figure D. Fasten the meas-
uring tool with the magnets 8via the bottom plate 10 against
the wall holder 13.
Spirit levels 3and 5aid in precisely positioning the laser line
against the wall.
–Forhorizontal alignment, the bubble must be within the
marks of the spirit level 3which lays in the extension of the
horizontal laser line, see figure A.
–Fordiagonal alignment, the bubble must be within the
marks of spirit level 5, see figure B.
Laser Viewing Glasses (Accessory)
The laser viewing glasses filter out the ambient light. This
makes the red light of the laser appear brighter for the eyes.
fDo not use the laser viewing glasses as safety goggles. The
laser viewing glasses are used for improved visualisation of
the laser beam, but they do not protect against laser radia-
tion.
fDo not use the laser viewing glasses as sun glasses or in
traffic. The laser viewing glasses do not afford complete
UV protection and reduce colour perception.

Work Examples
Laying of Square Tiles (see figure A)
Position the measuring tool in a corner in such a manner that
the 0° laser line runs parallel to a wall and the T-edge 7of the
measuring tool faces against the wall. Lay the first square tile
in such a manner that any right-angled side of the tile is seated
flush on the 0° and the 90° laser line.
Laying with Diagonal Pattern (see figure B)
Position the measuring tool in such a manner that the 90°
scale 6faces directly against a wall. Begin with the first diago-
nal tile at intersecting point P.
Laying from Edges (see figure C)
Position the measuring tool with the L-edge 11 facing against
the edge from which on you want to lay the tiles. The 90° laser
line should run parallel to this edge. The 0° laser line now
marks the bottom tile row.
Tile laying in Kitchenettes (see figure D)
Firstly, determine the height at which the first tile row is sup-
posed to begin. Attach the measuring tool vertically to the wall
so that the 90° laser line displays the bottom edge of the first
tile row.
Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and Cleaning
Keep the measuring tool clean at all times.
Do not immerse the measuring tool in water or other fluids.
Wipe off debris using a moist and soft cloth. Do not use any
cleaning agents or solvents.
Regularly clean the surfaces at the exit opening of the laser in
particular, and pay attention to any fluff of fibres.
If the measuring tool should fail despite the care taken in man-
ufacturing and testing procedures, repair should be carried out
by an authorised after-sales service centre for Bosch power
tools. Do not open the measuring tool yourself.
In all correspondence and spare parts orders, please always in-
clude the 10-digit article number given on the type plate of the
measuring tool.
