OPERATION
Basic Leveling
As with any level referencing instrument, checking calibration before each use is recommended.
1. Set the instrument on any smooth surface, or mount to a 5⁄8" x 11 tripod and adjust to desired
height.
2. Use the leveling screws and level vials to level the instrument. Each leveling screw controls
the vial opposite the screw (the front leveling screw controls the “Y” axis, and the side
leveling screw controls the “X” axis).
NOTE: The more accurately the vial bubbles are centered, the more accurate the laser beam will
be for referencing level.
3. Turn power on and press the control button once for “FAST” speed (ideal for use outdoors
with a laser detector), or twice for “SLOW” speed (ideal for indoor use). You have created a
highly visible, level reference line (Fig. 3).
Plumbing
1. On a flat surface, place the instrument on its back using the built-in trivet (control button
facing upward).
2. Level the instrument by viewing the plumb vial and turning the front leveling screw until the
plumb vial bubble is centered (Fig. 4).
3. Turn power on and press the control button until you reach your desired speed. You have
created a highly visible, plumb reference line!
Stopping the Rotary Head
It is possible to stop rotation of the head in order to manually direct the laser dot towards a target,
much like a straight-line laser.
1. Turn the unit on by pressing the control button.
2. Press two more times until the “STOP” LED is lit. The rotary head will stop turning.
3. Align the laser beam to your target by turning the rotary head manually.
Sweep Modes (Point & Shoot Scanning)
The LM30’s Sweep Modes create an easily visible laser “chalk line” that you can direct by
manually turning the rotary head.
This is especially useful on job sites where you must contain the laser’s location to avoid
interference with other laser users or laser detectors on site. Also, this feature is very useful for
extending the range of the visible beam.
LM30 Rotary Laser • 7

You may use this feature in either a level or plumb position.
1. Turn the unit on by pressing the control button.
2. Press three more times until the “LONG SWEEP” LED is lit. The rotary ad will quickly scan
back and forth to create a laser “chalk line”.
3. To direct the sweep toward your target, grab the rotary head to stop its movement, and wait
for rotation pressure to relax (normally within a few seconds).
Rotate head to your desired position and release.
4. Length of the chalk line will vary depending on the distance of the LM30 from your working
surface; the angle of the long sweep is approximately 45°. To create a shorter, faster sweep,
press the control button once more (”SHORT SWEEP“ LED will light); the angle of the short
sweep is approximately 22°.
Note: The Sweep Function of this unit is intended for indoor use only. Use of the LM30 in direct
sunlight may result in erratic operation of the Sweep Function.
Use of the LM30 in direct sunlight will not affect any other functions.
Remote Control RC30 - (Fig. 5)
Note: Remote control is included with LM30 Interier packages.
The remote controls Fast Rotation Speed, Slow Rotation Speed, Spot Mode, Long Sweep, Short
Sweep, and can be used up to a maximum of 100 feet (30 m) away from the unit. The user must
face the control panel for proper operation of the remote. Requires 2 AA Alkaline batteries.
1. Operates same as the single button on unit.
2. Rotate laser beacon counter-clock-wise when in sweep or spot mode.
3. Rotate laser head clock-wise when in sweep or spot mode.

POWER
NiCad or Nimh rechargeable batteries do NOT work well in a Laser Level as their operating voltage
is too low. We recommend that only alkaline batteries be used in your Laser Level. Plain carbon
batteries can leak either fluid or corrosive gas, both of which can damage the Laser Level.
It should be noted that the electronic switch in the Laser. Your LM30 will provide approximately 60
hours of intermittent use.
The “Low Battery” LED will light when the batteries’ voltage falls below an optimal level. Also, if
your LM30 fails to emit laser beams, but still has
functioning LEDs and rotation, your batteries may be low; try replacing the batteries before
contacting a service center.
Replacement batteries must be all new batteries; alkalines provide the best performance.
Replace the batteries as follows:
1. Remove the battery cover by turning the battery cover screw counterclockwise.
2. Remove the old batteries and replace with four new “C” cell batteries as illustrated (Fig. 7),
and replace the battery cover.
NOTE: Do not mix old and new batteries. Replace all batteries at the same time with new batteries.
Remove batteries before storage of the instrument
.
CALIBRATION
All Laser Levels are calibrated during assembly and Q.A., howeverLaserLevel owners should
always check the calibration of the unit before use as the settings may have changed with time or
during transportation. It is also wise to recheck the calibration of the Laser Level at regular
intervals and also prior to any critical measurements being performed. A 0.059"(1.5mm) Allen key
will be required to adjust the screws on the two leveling vials, and a 5/64” (2mm) one to adjust the
LD vial.
Checking Horizontal Rotation Error
1. Mount and level the LM30 on a tripod and place approximately 50 feet (15m) away from a
wall. Face the front (control button) to the wall (Fig.8).
2. Turn power on and place the unit in “STOP” mode.
3. Manually rotate the laser beam onto the wall and mark as point A.
4. Loosen the LM30 from the tripod and rotate the instrument 180° so that the back (battery
side) now faces the wall.
Secure and re-level the instrument.
5. Again rotate the laser beam onto the wall and mark its position as point B. No adjustment is
necessary if the vertical difference between points A and B is 1⁄8 inch (3mm) or less.
Otherwise, adjust as follows.
LM30 Rotary Laser • 9

Correcting Horizontal Rotation Error
1. Adjust the “Y” leveling screw until the laser beam rests midway between A and B (Fig. 8).
This will cause the “Y” vial bubble to shift from center. Clockwise rotation will raise the
beam; counterclockwise rotation will lower the beam.
2. Center the “Y” vial bubble by adjusting the vial leveling screws with a 1.5mm hex key.
3. Recheck the accuracy of horizontal rotation by repeating steps 1-5 in section”Checking
Horizontal Rotation Error”. Readjust as necessary.Repeat the above checking and adjusting
procedures using the left and right sides of instrument, adjusting the “X” leveling screw and
“X” vial as necessary.
Checking Vertical Rotation Error
1. Set the instrument on its trivet (control button upward) on a floor approximately 100 feet
(30m) from the base of a wall. The right side of the instrument should face the wall. Level
the unit by adjusting the “Y” leveling screw.
2. Turn power on and place the unit in “STOP” mode.
3. Mark a control point “A” on the wall (Fig. 9). Turn the rotary head
manually until the laser beam hits point A on the wall.
4. Turn the rotary head to move the laser beam 30 feet (9m) upward on the wall and mark this
as point B.
5. Turn the instrument 180° and align the beam to point A, re-leveling if necessary (Fig. 10).
6. Turn the rotary head to move the laser beam to the same height as point B, and mark as
point C.
No adjustment is necessary if the difference between points B and C is 1⁄8 inch (3mm) or less.
Otherwise, adjust as follows.
Correcting Vertical Rotation Error
1. Adjust the “Y” leveling screw until the laser beam rests midway between points B and C.
This will cause the plumb vial bubble to shift from center.
2. Center the plumb vial bubble by adjusting the vial leveling screws with a 5/64”(2mm)
hex key.
3. Recheck the accuracy of vertical rotation by repeating steps 1-6 in
section”Checking Vertical Rotation Error”. Readjust as necessary.

SETTING UP
Correct set-up of any manual Laser Level is critical to the operation of the Level. These Laser
Levels do not adjust themselves automatically. The accuracy of the job depends entirely upon how
well the unit has been set-up. An error of only 0.02" (0.5mm) at the top of the tripod becomes an
error of 4" at 65 feet (100 mm at 20 meters). In order to achieve the accuracy required some special
precautions should be observed.
1. The head of the Laser Level is fitted with two engineering grade spirit leveling vials which are
extremely accurate and very sensitive. When the Level is being set-up the bubbles move quite
slowly and may even stick inside the vial. This is called stiction. The solution is to lightly tap the
non-rotating part of the Level with the tip of a finger until the bubble ceases to move.
2. When attaching the Laser Level to the tripod, the instrument fastening screw should not be
over-tightened. If the screw is tightened excessively then the trivet base will become distorted
and over a period of time the plastic material of the trivet will relax, particularly if the day is hot,
causing the setting of the Level to change. In extreme cases it is possible to pull the centre
insert out of the trivet.
MAINTENANCE
Always clean the instrument after use. Use a soft, dry cloth to remove any dirt or moisture from the
instrument. Store the unit in its case when not in use. Batteries should be removed before long-
term storage. Do not use benzene, paint thinner, or other solvents to clean the instrument.
ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION
Recycle raw materials instead of disposing as waste.The machine,
accessories and packaging should be sorted for environmental friendly
recycling. Do not throw used batteries into house waste, fire or water but
dispose of in an environmentally friendly manner according to the
applicable legal regulations.

LM30 Rotary Laser • 13
Operation
1. Turn on the unit by pressing the ON/OFF pad. The LCD symbols will momentarily
flash (Fig. B).
2. Expose the beam capture window of the laser detector towards the direction of the
rotating laser.
3. Slowly move the laser detector in an upward and downward direction until the LCD beam
indicator arrows appear and/or a pulsing audio signal is heard. Select the desired Beam
Resolution, according to the job conditions and the precision required (to see the available
Resolutions, please refer to the Specs Table).
4. Move the detector upward when the low beam indicator light is lit (with volume on, a short
pulsing audio tone is heard). Move the detector downward when the high beam indicator
arrow is lit (with volume on, a long pulsing audio tone is heard). When the beam is level, the
level beam indicator line will be lit and a solid audio tone will be heard.
If the detector is not struck by a laser beam after 5-8 minutes, the detector will automatically shut
itself off to preserve battery life.
Turn the unit back on using the power button.
Special features
The laser detector includes a rod clamp which allows to mount the detector onto square, round or
oval sighting rods.
The detectors are gasket sealed for water and dust protection. Remove any moisture or dirt with a
soft, dry cloth.
Do not use aggressive cleaning agents or solvents. Remove batteries before storage of
the instrument.
The LCD display of the detector LD-400 has seven distinct channels of information, indicating the
position of the detector in the plane of laser light, as indicated in Fig. C (the detectors LD-120 and
LD-100N have three).
As you move the detector closer to the center, the arrows fill in to indicate the laser position.
The detector has a unique memory feature, which preserves the last position of the laser beam if
the detector is moved out of the plane of laser light, as well as built in electronic filtering for bright
sunlight and electromagnetic interference.
The detector LD-400 has three speaker selections (Off, Loud (105dBA) and Louder (125+ dBA)),
whereas the models LD-120 and LD-100N have only two (Off and On).

FUNCIONAMIENTO
Nivelación
Como para cualquier instrumento de nivelación, se aconseja controlar la calibración del
instrumento antes del trabajo (ver capítulo “CALIBRACIÓN”).
1. Colocar el LM30 sobre cualquier superficie lisa o montarlo en un trípode estándar con rosca
de 5/8” - 11.
2. Utilizar los tornillos de ajuste y las burbujas de nivelación para nivelar el instrumento. Cada
tornillo de nivelación controla la burbuja opuesta al tornillo (el tornillo nivelador frontal
controla el eje “Y”, y el tornillo nivelador lateral controla el eje “X”).
Nota: Cuanto más exactamente centradas estén las burbujas, más precisa será la señal del láser
para el nivel de referencia. Asegurar que las burbujas están estables.
3. Encender el láser y presionar una vez el botón de control para conseguir la velocidad “alta”
(ideal para trabajar en el exterior con un receptor láser), o dos veces para conseguir la
velocidad “baja” (ideal para trabajar en el interior). De esta forma se ha obtenido una línea
de referencia a nivel muy visible (Fig. 3).
18 • LM30 Rotary Laser

Plomada
1. Sobre una superficie plana, colocar el láser sobre la parte posterior utilizando el soporte
(botón de control hacia arriba).
2. Nivelar el instrumento controlando la burbuja de la cara superior mediante el tornillo
nivelador “Y” (superior) hasta que la burbuja esté centrada (Fig. 4).
3. Encender la unidad y presionar el butón de control hasta que se alcance la velocidad
deseada. De esta forma se ha obtenido una línea de referencia vertical a nivel muy visible.
Parada de la cabeza rotatoria
Es possible interrumpir la rotación de la cabeza para dirigir manualmente la señal del láser hacia
el objetivo deseado, como en un nivel láser de línea.
1. Encender el láser presionando el botón de control.
2. Presionar dos veces más hasta que la señal “STOP” esté encendida. La cabeza rotatoria
dejará de girar.
3. Alinear la señal de láser hacia su objetivo girando la cabeza
manualmente.
Funcionamiento del modo “barrido”
El modo “barrido” del láser LM30 crea una línea láser muy visible, que puede ser dirigida girando
manualmente la cabeza rotatoria. Esto es
particularmente útil cuando hay que delimitar el área del rayo láser para
evitar interferencias con otros láser o receptores en la obra. Además con esta función se aumenta
de una manera considerable la visibilidad del rayo láser. Se puede utilizar esta función en
horizontal y en vertical.
1. Encender el láser presionando el botón de control.
2. Presionar tres veces más hasta que la señal “barrido largo” esté encendida. La cabeza
rotatoria empezará a girar hacia un lado y hacia el otro para crear una línea de “barrido”.
3. Para dirigir el barrido hacia su objetivo, coger la cabeza rotatoria con suavidad para parar la
rotación y esperar que el motor baje su fuerza (normalmente unos segundos). Girar la
cabeza hacia el objetivo
deseado y soltarla. Esta operación debe hacerse con mucha suavidad para no dañar la
cabeza giratoria.
4. La longitud del barrido varia según la distancia entre el láser y su
objetivo; el ángulo del barrido largo es de aprox. 45°. Para crear un
barrido más corto y más veloz, presionar otra vez el botón de control (la señal de “barrido
corto” está encendida); el ángulo del barrido corto es de aprox. 22°.

Nota: La función de barrido solo es fiable en interior, ya que en exterior debido a la luz directa del
sol puede distorsionar la señal en barrido. El resto de las funciones, rotación y punto, no son
afectadas por la luz del sol.
Mando a distancia RC30 (Fig. 5)
El mando controla las funciones: Rotación Veloz, Rotación Lenta, Punto Fijo, Barrido Largo, y
Barrido Corto .
Puede ser utilizado hasta 30 metros de distancia, en dirección de la cara frontal del láser y
necesita 2 pilas alcalinas tipo “AA”.
1. Funciona como el botón de control del láser
2. Gira el punto fijo y el barrido en sentido contrario a las agujas del reloj
3. Gira el punto fijo y el barrido en el sentido de las agujas del reloj
APLICACIONES (Fig. 6)
Con el SOPORTE DE PARED/TRIPODE: montaje de falsos techos y de azulejos.
NIVELACIONES Y PLOMADAS EN INTERIORES: Marcos de ventanas,
armarios y estanterías, puertas y ventanas, construcción de paredes y tabiques, trazado de
perpendiculares, instalación de suelos, baldosas.
NIVELACIONES Y PLOMADAS EN EXTERIORES: Porches, cubiertas, cercados, postes.
ALIMENTACIÓN
El laser LM30 proporciona aprox. 60 horas de uso intermitente con cuatro pilas alcalinas de alta
calidad. En caso que se quiera utilizar pilas recargables, considerar que la vida media de las pilas
disminuye aprox. el 20%, pero por otro lado se aprovecha la re-utilización de las pilas. El LED de
“Pilas descargadas” se enciende cuando el voltaje de las pilas es bajo. Atención: pilas de carbón
pueden gotear liquido o gas corrosivo y pueden dañar el nivel láser.
Si Su láser no emite rayo, pero los LEDs están encendidos y la cabeza gira, las pilas podrían estar
casi descargadas; cambiar las pilas antes de contactar el servicio técnico. Sustituir todas las pilas
al mismo tiempo por pilas nuevas.
1. Quitar la tapa de las pilas girando el tornillo en sentido contrario a las agujas del reloj.
2. Quitar las pilas usadas y colocar cuatro pilas nuevas 1,5 V “C”, como se ilustra en la Fig. 7;
luego colocar la tapa de las pilas.
Nota: No mezclar pilas usadas y nuevas. Sustituir todas las pilas al mismo tiempo por pilas nuevas.
