Keep these instructions in a safe place or store in the carry
case for future reference.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE
REFERENCE.
WARNING!
Read and understand all instructions.
• Use the tool only with the specifically designated
batteries.
• Store the tool out of reach of children and other untrained
persons. Laser tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
• Use only accessories that are recommended for your
model.
• Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair
personnel. Repairs, service or maintenance performed
by unqualified personnel will void the warranty. Only
approved and authorised service technicians can carry
out warranty repairs.
• Do not use optical tools such as a telescope or transit to
view the laser beam. Serious eye injury could result.
• Do not place the tool in a position which may cause
anyone to intentionally or unintentionally stare into the
laser beam. Serious eye injury could result.
• Do not position the tool near a reflective surface which
may reflect the laser beam toward anyone’s eyes. Serious
eye injury could result.
• Do not use optical tools to view the laser beam.
• Do not set up the tool at a position where the laser beam
can cross any person at head height.
• Do not let children come in contact with the tool.
• Turn the tool off when it is not in use. Leaving the tool on
increases the risk of staring into the laser beam.
• Do not operate the tool around children or allow children
to operate the laser. Serious eye injury may result.
• Position the tool securely on a level surface. Damage to
the tool or serious injury could result if the tool falls.
• Do not remove or deface warning labels.
• If the text on the warning label is not in your native
language, cover it with the appropriate label supplied
before commencing operation of the laser.
WARNING!
Do Not Disassemble The Laser.
There are no user serviceable parts inside. Disassembling
the tool will void all warranties on the product. Do not
modify the product in any way. Modifying the tool may
result in hazardous laser radiation exposure.
CAUTION!

HORIZONTAL MEASUREMENT SETUP
Level surface set up
• Select a place as close and practical to the work site as
possible, and ensure that the location is clear of traffic.
• Place the laser level onto a reasonably level surface.
• The laser level can also be set-up via the supplied mount
or on the supplied tripod (see page 6).
POWER SUPPLY
• The laser level is supplied with 2x lithium-ion batteries as
its power source. The batteries are supplied inside the
laser level by default.
• The batteries are supplied only partially charged. Charge
the batteries before use.
• The power indicator light will flash when the battery is
low. The laser level should be re-charged as soon as
possible.
• Battery pack capacity decreases at low temperatures;
a depleted pack may not function when cold.
Indoor charger
• The indoor charger is for indoor use only.
• Do not store in locations where moisture can be present
or where the chargers could be exposed to extreme
temperatures.
• If a charger becomes damaged, stop using immediately
and seek a replacement.
Charging the batteries
• Insert the charging cable into the charging port on the
side of the laser level (Fig.1).
• Insert the power adaptor into the power outlet.
• Progress will be shown by the power indicator display on
the battery as below:
Red (constant):
Battery is charging Green (constant): Battery is charged
Fig.1
USING THE LASER LEVEL
Charging time is approximately 5 hours for depleted
batteries.
!
!
WARNING! Only use the supplied charger.
Using an incorrect charger will void the warranty.
WARNING! Only use the supplied batteries.
Inserting & removing the batteries
• Remove the 3 screws on the battery door with a
screwdriver and remove the batteries.
• Insert the battery pack according to polarity. Replace the
battery door and secure via the 3 screws.
OPERATION
Powering on
• Press the
power button and the laser level
will power on and begin automatically self-levelling.
When this levelling process is complete, the penta
prism inside the lighthouse will start rotating (Fig.2).
• If the laser level is outside the self levelling range the
laser level will not level causing the laser beam to flash
continuously. If this occurs, reposition the laser level onto
a level surface until the laser level can level off.
In bright outdoor conditions, visible distance will
be signicantly reduced. For outdoor use, it is
recommended to use the included detector.

Powering off
• Press the
power button once and the laser level

• Extend the tripod legs to the required height and ensure
the legs are spread wide enough so that the tripod
platform is stable. Secure the legs in place.
• Place the laser level onto the tripod and mount via the
male thread (5/8”-11) into the base until firm (Fig.4). Do
not over tighten as this may cause damage to the laser
level or tripod.
• The mount is attached to the laser level by default (Fig.3).
• The mount can be used to mount to walls or fence posts
where a tripod cannot be used.
• Fix two screws into a secure surface and hook the mount
over the screws, ensuring that the mount has a strong
hold before releasing your hands.
USING THE TRIPOD
USING THE MOUNT
Speed control
• Press the
speed control button to cycle through the
following rotational speeds: 0, 60, 120, 300, 600rpm
Tilt alarm
• Once the laser level has been levelled off the tilt alarm can
be enabled by pressing the
tilt alarm button . The tilt alarm
indicator
light will flash continuously whilst active.
• If the laser level is disturbed while the alarm is active the
laser level will stop rotating and will need to be powered off
and on again to reset to a level position.
• Although the included mount is equipped with a
5/8”-11 thread, the RLX-MR20 laser level is not
equipped for vertical operation.
