Operation
Initial Operation
fProtect the measuring tool against moisture and
direct sun light.
fDo not subject the measuring tool to extreme tem-
peratures or variations in temperature. As an ex-
ample, do not leave it in vehicles for longer periods.
In case of large variations in temperature, allow the
measuring tool to adjust to the ambient tempera-
ture before putting it into operation.
fAvoid heavy impact to or falling down of the meas-
uring tool. Damage to the measuring tool can impair
its accuracy. After heavy impact or shock, compare
the laser line with a known horizontal or vertical ref-
erence line.
Switching On and Off
To switch on the measuring tool, push the On/Off
switch 15. Immediately after switching on, the measur-
ing tool sends a laser beam out of the exit opening 9.
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 15 again.
fDo not leave the switched on measuring tool unat-
tended and switch the measuring tool off after
use. Other persons could be blinded by the laser
beam.

Measuring Functions
Note: The specified levelling accuracy applies for the
alignment of the laser beam with reference to the spirit
levels 6and 7.
Positioning the Measuring Tool (see figure B)
For precise alignment with the spirit levels, the posi-
tion of the measuring tool is important.
The specified levelling accuracy is only achieved when
the measuring tool is correctly positioned:
– For horizontal alignment with the spirit level 7, the
aluminium supporting surface 8of the measuring
tool must face downward.
– For vertical alignment with the spirit level 6, the exit
opening for the laser beam 9must face upward.
Aligning with the Laser Line
Horizontal Alignment (see figures C–D): Position the
measuring tool with the three supporting points 12
against the wall or with help of the magnets 14, fasten
it to the wall holder 1or to another magnetic surface.
The aluminium supporting surface 8of the measuring
tool must face downward. Align the measuring tool
horizontally with help of the spirit level 7. Picture
frames or tiles, as an example, can be aligned along-
side the horizontal laser line.
OBJ_BUCH-311-005.book Page 27 Wednesday, July 14, 2010 11:45 AM

1 609 929 W57 | (14.7.10) Bosch Power Tools
28 | English
Vertical Alignment (see figure D): Position the meas-
uring tool with the three supporting points 12 against
the wall or with help of the magnets 14, fasten it to the
wall holder 1or to another magnetic surface. The exit
opening for the laser beam 9must face upward. Align
the measuring tool vertically with help of the spirit level
6. Top and bottom cabinets, as an example, can be
aligned alongside the vertical laser line.
Alignment off of Reference Points (see figure E): Po-
sition the measuring tool with the three supporting
points 12 against the wall or with help of the magnets
14, fasten it to the wall holder 1or to another magnetic
surface. Turn the measuring tool to any angle in order
to align the laser beam to the reference points. In this
manner, as an example, picture frames can be hung
parallel to a stairway or ceiling pitch.
Checking Horizontal/Vertical Lines with the Spirit
Levels (see figure F)
The measuring tool can be used as a contractors level
for checking horizontal or vertical lines, e.g., for the
level set-up of a washer or a refrigerator. Position the
measuring tool with the aluminium supporting surface
8facing against the surface to be checked. When posi-
tioning against horizontal surfaces, the aluminium sup-
porting surface 8must face downward. When position-
ing against vertical surfaces, the exit opening for the
laser beam 9must face upward.

Working Advice
fKeep the adhesive tape strips 4 out of the reach of
small children. Children could mistake the strips
with chewing gum.
Mounting to a Wall
Four fastening methods are available for fastening the
wall holder to different surfaces:
–Fastening with Adhesive Tape Strips
(see figure G): With the removable adhesive tape
strips 4, the wall holder can be fastened to sensitive
or delicate sturctural materials without causing
damage to them. The structural surface must be
straight, firm, dry, grease-free and have a tempera-
ture of at least 15 °C . Pull off one of the protective
foils from an adhesive tape strip (c) and position
the adhesive tape strip onto the back side of the
wall holder (d) in such a manner that its end
projects out. Pull off the second protective foil (e)
and firmly press the wall holder with the adhesive
tape strip against the structural surface (f) for at
least five seconds. To remove the wall holder, pull
out the adhesive tape strip by the projecting end
slowly and as parallel as possible to the structural
surface (g).
–Fastening with Pins (see figure H): With the pins 2
provided, the wall holder can be fastened to drywall
or wooden walls. Insert the pins through the open-
ings in the wall holder as shown in the figure.

1 609 929 W57 | (14.7.10) Bosch Power Tools
30 | English
–Fastening with a Screw: Place the wall holder 1via
the opening on the back side onto a screw that
projects lightly out of the wall.
–Fastening with Adhesive Tape (see figure I): The
wall holder can also be fastened with commercially
available adhesive tape (not included in the delivery
scope) as shown in the figure.
For all four fastening methods, pay attention that the
wall holder 1is fastened securely to the structural sur-
face. Faulty measurements can result when the wall
holder slips away.
Attach the measuring tool via the magnets 14 onto the
metal plate 3of the wall holder 1.
Belt Clip
With the belt clip 5, the measuring tool, as an example,
can be hooked to a belt and is always at hand.
