Preparation
Inserting/Replacing the Battery
Use only alkaline batteries.
To open the battery lid 4, press the latch 7in the direction of the arrow
and remove the battery lid. Insert the supplied batteries.
When inserting, pay attention to the correct polarity according to the
representation on the inside of the battery compartment.
When the batteries are low, the laser lines will flash quickly for a few
seconds.
Always replace all batteries at the same time. Only use batteries from
one brand and with the identical capacity.
Remove the batteries from the tool when
not using it for extended periods. When
storing for extended periods, the batteries can corrode and discharge
themselves.
2) Conductive pollution occurs, or dry, non-conductive pollution
occurs which becomes conductive due to condensation which is
expected. In such conditions, equipment is normally protected
against exposure to direct sunlight, precipitation, and full wind
pressure, but neither temperature nor humidity is controlled.

Initial Operation
Protect the tool against moisture and direct
sun irradiation.
Do not subject the tool to extreme temperatures or variations
in temperature. As an example, do not leave it in vehicles for longer
periods. In case of large variations in temperature, allow the tool to
adjust to the ambient temperature before operation. In case of extreme
temperatures or variations in temperature the accuracy of the tool can
be impaired.
Avoid heavy impact or falling of the tool. After heavy exterior impact
on the tool, an accuracy check should always be carried out before
continuing to work (see “Leveling Accuracy”).
Switch the tool off during transport. Push the On/Off switch 1
downward to the “Off” position when transporting the measuring tool.
This locks the leveling unit, which can be damaged in case of intense
movement.
Switching On and Off
Do not leave the switched on tool
unattended and switch the tool off after use.
Do 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 on the tool, push the On/Off switch 1upward. Immediately
after switching on, the measuring tool sends two laser beams out of the
exit opening 2.
Operation
GLL25-10 2610050718 04-18.indd 14 4/9/18 8:56 AM

-15-
To switch off the measuring tool, push the On/Off switch 1downward
over the laser beam exit opening 2. When switching off, the leveling
unit is locked.
Do not leave the switched on measuring tool unattended and
switch the tool off after use. Other persons could be blinded by the
laser beam.
Application
The measuring tool is used for determining and checking horizontal
and vertical lines.
Automatic Leveling
Working with Automatic Leveling
Position the tool on a level and firm base or to a tripod 8.
After switching on, the leveling function automatically compensates
irregularities within the self-leveling range of ±4º. The leveling is
finished as soon as the laser beams no longer move.
If the measuring tool surface deviates more than 4º from the horizontal
plane, then the automatic leveling function is not possible and the laser
beams will flash. The lines will flash 1 s off 3 s on continually.
In this case, bring the tool to the level position and wait for the self-
leveling to take place. As soon as the tool is within the self-leveling
range of ±4°, then the laser lines will continuously light up.
In case of ground vibrations or position changes during operation, the
tool is automatically level again. To avoid errors, check the position of
the horizontal and vertical laser line with regard to the reference points
upon re-leveling.

-16-
Always use the center of the laser line for marking. The width of
the laser line changes with the distance.
Attaching with the Flexible Mounting Device
With the flexible mounting device 13, you can fasten the measuring
tool to different objects ranging in thickness between 1/2 and 2-3/8 in
(12 and 60 mm), such as vertical or horizontal boards or pipes.
Loosen the fastening screw 12 of the flexible mounting device, mount
the flexible mounting device to the desired location and tighten the
fastening screw again.
Place the measuring tool via the mounting thread 3onto the 1/4-20
male thread 10 of the flexible mounting device and screw it on applying
moderate force. Do not overtighten the measuring tool, otherwise it can
become damaged.
Roughly adjust the flexible mounting device before switching on the
measuring tool. To do this, loosen the locking screw 11 for the flexible
mounting device and move the measuring tool until horizontally
positioned at the desired height. Retighten the locking screw.
Working with a Tripod (Accessory)
A tripod 8offers a stable, height-adjustable measuring support. Place
the tool via the mounting thread 3onto the 1/4-20 male thread of the
tripod and screw the locking screw of the tripod tight.
Laser Viewing Glasses (Accessory)
The laser viewing glasses 9filter out the ambient light. This makes the
red light of the laser appear brighter to the eyes.
