SET UP
OPERATION
▪Select a place as close as practical
to the work site. Ensure the location is
clear of traffic.
▪Place the laser on a level surface such
as a bench or mount.
▪ To turn the instrument on, turn the power
switch to the “on” position. Self levelling
will commence and the horizontal beam
will activate.
▪If the instrument is outside the self
levelling range the instrument will not level
causing the laser beam to flash on and off
repeatedly. If this occurs, reposition the
instrument onto a level surface until the
instrument can level off.
▪Press the V (vertical lines) and H
(horizontal line) buttons on the control
panel to cycle through the active beams.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
▪This is a precision measuring instrument
and should always be handled with care and
transported within the carry case provided.
▪Always turn the unit off before transporting
the instrument or moving around the job
site.
▪Reflective surfaces such as glass may
reflect the laser beam, causing two beams
to strike the detector at the same time. This
may result in inaccurate reference points.
▪ Whenever possible, store the instrument
in a dry, shady location.
▪Calibration of the instrument is
recommended: every six months, if ongoing
accurate levelling is required, or an impact
has occurred.
▪The operator should check the accuracy
of the instrument before precision levelling
is attempted. Failure to do so may result
in inaccurate measurements.
▪ Clean the instrument with a dry, soft
cloth after use in dusty, damp or wet
conditions before storing.
▪Smudges and fingerprints may be
removed with a damp tissue or a soft, lint-
free cloth.
