2.2 Intended use
e H3x360G is a line laser that enables a single person to level and align plumb points as well as
90 degree angles horizontally and vertically. e device is designed to be preferably used indoors.
For outdoor applications, it must be ensured that the ambient conditions are similar to those indoors.
e visibility range of the laser lines depends on the ambient conditions. In low light conditions or for
long distances, the hand-held receiver can be used to locate the laser line position (the hand-held
receiver is not included in the standard delivery, but can be ordered as an option).
Follow the instructions contained in this manual. e device and accessory equipment may be a
source of danger if they are utilised improperly or inappropriately by persons who are not adequately
instructed.

• Repairs have to be exclusively performed by
Hultafors.
• Before use, check the accuracy of the device
(see Chapter 8/Checking the accuracy)
4.4.2 CHARGER/BATTERIES/RECHARGEABLE
BATTERIES
DANGER
Strong mechanical influences, can
lead to a leakage, fire or explosion of
the batteries or trigger the release
of toxic substances.
• Batteries and rechargeable batteries may not
be opened or exposed to mechanical loads.
• Repairs have to be exclusively performed by
Hultafors.
WARNING
High ambient temperatures and
immersion into liquids can cause
a leakage, fire or explosion of the
batteries or trigger the release of
toxic substances.
• Protect batteries and rechargeable batteries
from mechanical influences during transport.
• Do not overheat batteries and rechargeable
batteries or expose them to fire.
• Avoid the ingress of moisture into batteries
and rechargeable batteries.
• Do not use damaged batteries or rechargeable

external batteries).
• When using computers and radio equipment
make sure to observe the vendor-specific
information about electromagnetic
compatibility.
• Only use original Hultafors equipment and
accessories.
4.5.2 INTERFERENCE OF THE H3X360G
BY OTHER DEVICES
Although the product meets the strict
requirements of the relevant directives and
standards, Hultafors can not entirely exclude the
possibility that intense electromagnetic radiation
in the immediate vicinity of radio transmitters,
two-way radios, diesel generators, etc. can
distort the measurement results.

two 360° vertical lines.
e product corresponds to Laser class 2
according to DIN EN 60825-1:2014.
Class 2 laser:
When using Class 2 laser devices, the eye is
protected by the blink reflex or aversion reaction
in the case of random and short-term exposure.

Labelling on the device:
• Do not remove the type plate!
6. Getting Started
Fully charge the batteries before first use.
e battery charge status is shown on the display.
Charge the batteries when the symbol flashes
continuously on the screen. Use the charger
supplied with your H3x360G.
e device cannot be used whilst charging.
e batteries are fully charged in approx. 3 hours.
6.1 Operation with batteries
1. Open the battery compartment cover.
2. Insert batteries with the correct polarity into
the H3x360G.
3. Close the battery compartment cover (audible
click of the cover).
Only use type 18650 3.6 V Li-ion batteries
(3450 mAh).
Remove the batteries if the instrument is not
used for an extended period.
NOTE
e intensity of the laser lines can vary
depending on the battery quality.

12
• Recharge the battery regularly or ensure
additional batteries are available.
7.1.2 PULSE MODE
e REC LGD0 receiver can be used to detect
the laser lines at even greater distances or in
unfavorable environmental conditions. Pulse
mode is active on the H3x360G when the MODE
button is pressed. e laser lines flash three
times to indicate the change.
7.1.3 CREATING INCLINATIONS BEYOND THE
RANGE OF AUTOMATIC LEVELLING
ON:
• Push the on/o switch, transport lock to
the le (OFF position).
• Hold down the MODE button for at least
5 seconds.
• To indicate that the self-leveling is switched
o, the lines will blink every 4 seconds.
OFF:
• Hold down the MODE button for at least
5 seconds.
CAUTION
If the laser line is not projected vertically
to the surface or the surface is uneven,
this can lead to erroneous measurement
results.
• Make sure that the laser line is projected
vertically on to the wall or the target surface.
7. Operation
7.1 Getting started
7.1.1 SWITCHING THE INSTRUMENT ON AND OFF
ON:
Push the on/o switch, transport lock to the
right (ON position) and the pendulum unit will
be released. e device emits three 360° lines
from the outlet openings. To turn the vertical
and horizontal 360° lines on and o, press the
H and V buttons. e instrument will level itself
automatically within the specified inclination range
(see Chapter 3/ Technical data).
OFF:
Push the on/o switch, transport lock to the
le (OFF position) and the pendulum unit will be
locked; the laser line will disappear.
NOTE
Magnets can aect the measurement
instrument and lead to false results.
If the vertical laser line is not projected vertically
to the wall or to the target surface, uneven surfaces
can lead to erroneous measurement results.
• Make sure that the vertical laser line is
projected vertically on to the wall or the target
surface.
Severe temperature fluctuations can lead to
erroneous measurement results.
• Before start-up, allow the device to acclimatize
to the ambient conditions.
e laser lines will flash every 30 seconds when
the battery capacity falls below 10%.

8. Checking the accuracy
Check the accuracy of the Hultafors H3x360G
before each measurement.
• Before starting the check, let the device
acclimatise to the environmental conditions.
8.1 Checking the accuracy of the
vertical line
• Attach a plumb line as close as possible
possible to a (at least) 3 m high wall.
• Mount the H3x360G onto a tripod at a height
of approx. 1.2 m.
• Position the device approx. 3 m in front of the
plumb line.
• Switch on the H3x360G and project the
vertical laser line onto the plumb line.
If the deviation is greater than 4 mm, the device
must be readjusted. In this case, consult your
dealer.
8.2 Checking the leveling accuracy of
the horizontal line
1. Select two horizontal, flat walls (A & B), which
are approx. 10 meters apart.
• Mount the H3x360G onto a tripod and position
it at a distance of approx. 20 cm from wall A.
• Mark the intersecting point of the vertical
and horizontal lines on wall A.
2. Rotate the H3x360G by 180° and mark point
on wall B.
• Position the laser at the same height approx.
20 cm away from wall B and mark point on
wall B.
3. Rotate the H3x360G by 180° and mark
point on wall A.
• Measure the vertical distance of the
marked points - and the vertical spacing
of the points - .

• Divide the results with twice the value of the
room length.
If the result is greater than 4 mm, the device
must be readjusted. For this, please consult your
dealer.
