Safety Notes
Read and observe all instructions. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
fHave the remote control repaired only through a qualified repair person and
only using identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the functionality of
the remote control is maintained.
fDo not operate the remote control in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dusts. Sparks can be created in the re-
mote control which may ignite the dust or fumes.

Product Description and Specifications
While reading the operating instructions, unfold the graphics page with the illustra-
tion of the remote control and leave it open.
Intended Use
The remote control is intended for controlling rotational laser levels in indoor and out-
door use.

rect polarity according to the representation on the inside of the battery compart-
ment.
fRemove the battery from the remote control when not using it for longer pe-
riods. When storing for longer periods, the battery can corrode and discharge itself.
Operation
Initial Operation
fProtect the remote control against moisture and direct sunlight.
fDo not subject the remote control 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 remote control to adjust to the am-
bient temperature before putting it into operation.
The remote control remains ready for operation as long as a battery with sufficient
voltage is inserted.
Set up the rotational laser in such a manner that the signals of the remote control di-
rectly reach one of the receiption lenses on the rotational laser (for this, see the oper-
atinginstructions of the rotational laser). When the remote controlcannotbepointed
directly against a receiption lens, the working range is reduced. By reflecting the sig-
nal (e.g. against walls), the working range can be improved, even for indirect signals.
After pressing a button on the remote control, the illuminated operation indicator 6
indicates that a signal was sent out.
Switching the rotational laser on/off with the remote control is not possible.
Operating Modes
For detailed information of the rotational laser functions, see the operating instruc-
tions of the rotational laser.
Rotational Operation
(150/300/600 min-1)
The function of the button for rotational operation 1on the remote control is identical
with that on the rotational laser.
Each time after switching on, the rotational laser is in rotational operation mode with
average rotational speed.
To switch from line operation to rotational operation, press the rotational operation
button 1. Rotational operation starts with average rotational speed.
Tochangetherotationalspeed,presstherotationaloperationbutton1againuntilthe
requested speed is reached.

Line Operation, Point Operation
(10°/25°/50°,0°)
The function of the button for line operation 2on the remote control is identical with
that on the rotational laser.
To switch to line or point operation, press the line operation button 2. The rotational
laser switches to line operation with the smallest aperture angle.
Tochange the aperture angle, press the line operation button 2. The apertureangleis
increased in two steps; at the same time, the rotational speed is increased with each
step. When pressing the line operation button 2a third time, the rotational laser
switches to point operation after brief post-pulsation. Pressing button 2again takes
you back to line operation with the smallest aperture angle.
Note: Due to inertia, it is possible for the laser to slightly move beyond the end point
of the laser line.
Rotating the Laser Line/Laser Dot or the Rotational Plane
(see figure A)
Rotating the laser line/laser dot or the rotational plane is possible only with the
remote control.
When the rotational laser is in the horizontal position, the laser line (in line opera-
tion)orthe laser dot (in pointoperation)canbepositioned within the rotational plane
of the laser. Rotation is possible by 360°.
Pressbutton 4to rotateinclockwisedirection, and button 5torotatein anticlockwise
direction. In rotational operation, pressing the buttons has no effect.
When the rotational laser is in the vertical position, it is possible to rotate the laser
point, laser line or rotational plane around the vertical axis. Rotating is possible only
within the self-levelling range (5° toward the left or right).
Pressbutton 4to rotateinclockwisedirection, and button 5torotatein anticlockwise
direction.
Reset Shock-warning Function
The rotational laser has a shock-warning function; after position changes or shock to
the rotational laser, or in case of ground vibrations, it keeps the rotational laser from
levelling in at changed heights, and thus prevents vertical errors.
Switching the shock-warning function on and off is possible only on the rotational
laser. Once the shock-warning function has actuated, is can be restarted via the
remote control.

Afteractuationoftheshock-warningfunction,the rotation of the laser is stopped, the
laserflashes,the levelling indicator goes out, andtheshock-warningindicatorflashes
red. The current operating mode is stored.
After the shock-warning function has actuated, press the shock-warning reset button
3. The shock-warning function is restarted and the rotational laser starts levelling. As
soon as the rotational laser is levelled in (the levelling indicator on the rotational laser
continuously lights up green), it starts in the stored operating mode. Now, check the
height of the laser beam with a reference point and correct the height, if required.
Application Example
Turning the Rotational Plane when in the Vertical Position (see figure B)
To align the vertical laser line or the rotational plane against a reference point on a
wall, set up the rotational laser in the vertical position, and roughly align the laser line
or the rotational plane with the reference point. For precise alignment with the refer-
ence point, press button 4(clockwise rotation) or 5(anticlockwise rotation).
Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and Cleaning
Keep the remote control clean at all times.
Do not immerse the remote control into water or other fluids.
Wipe off debris using a moist and soft cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents or sol-
vents.
If the remote control should fail despite the care taken in manufacture and testing,
repair should be carried out by an authorised customer services agent for Bosch
power tools. Do not open the remote control yourself.
In all correspondence and spare parts orders, please always include the 10-digit
article number given on the type plate of the remote control.

pair of your product as well as spare parts. Exploded views and information on spare
