90 degree angles horizontally and vertically.
e device is designed to be preferably used
indoors. For outdoor applications, it is preferred
that the ambient conditions are similar to those
indoors.
e visibility range of the laser lines depends on
the ambient conditions.
Non optimal light conditions or for long distances,
the Hultafors REC, hand-held receiver can be used
to locate the laser line position (the REC hand-held
receiver is not included in the standard delivery,
but can be ordered as an accessory).
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

5. Laser safety/classification
e PXL emits three visible laser lines and one
laser point.
e product corresponds to Laser Class 2
according to DIN EN 60825-1:2008.
Laser Class 2:
When using Class 2 laser devices the eye is
protected by the eyelid closure reflex or evasive
reactions in case of a random and short-term
exposure.
WARNING
Looking directly into the beam with
optical aids (e.g. binoculars, telescopes)
can be dangerous.
CAUTION
Looking into the laser beam may be
hazardous to the eye.
• Do not look into the laser beam.
• Do not aim the laser beam at other people.
Labeling on the device:
For the position of the type plate refere to the
inside of the cover page.
• Do not remove the type plate!
6. Start-up
6.1 Operation
1. Open the battery compartment cover on the
rear side of the device.
2. Insert batteries with the correct polarity into
the Hultafors battery adapter.
3. Insert the Hultafors battery adapter in the
correct position.
4. Close the battery compartment (audible click
of the cover).
Only use 1.5V AA batteries!
If the device is not used for a long period, remove
the batteries.
NOTE
e intensity of the laser lines can vary
depending on the battery quality.
e best visibility can be achieved with
fresh and fully loaded batteries.

14 15
7. Operation
7.1 PXL
7.1.1 SWITCHING THE LASER ON/OFF
On:
• Turn the on/o switch to the right (ON position)
and the pendulum unit will be released –
«BATT-ON» display will be lit (the device will beam
all lines and points from the laser window).
e instrument will level itself automatically within
the specified inclination range (see Chapter 3 /
Technical data).
O:
• Make sure the switch is turned all the way
to OFF. Otherwise the pendulum will not be
locked for transportation.
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 to the wall or to the target surface.
Severe temperature fluctuations can lead to
erroneous measurement results.
• Before start-up, allow the device to acclimatise
to the environmental conditions.
e «BATT-ON» display will flash when the battery
capacity falls below 10%.
• Replace the battery in time.
7.1.2 PULSE MODE
e REC hand-held receiver can be used to
detect the laser lines at even greater distances
or in unfavourable environmental conditions. e
PXL must be used in the PULSE operating mode
for this.
On:
• Switch on the PXL.
• Press the «MODE» button – «PULSE» display
will be lit.
O:
• Press the «MODE» button – «PULSE» display
will turn o.
NOTE
Using the PULSE mode can save energy
and extend battery life by up to 60%, if
a particularly good visibility of the laser
lines is not required.
7.1.3 CREATING INCLINATIONS
On:
• Switch o the PXL (on/o switch to the OFF
position).
• Press and hold the «MODE» button for 5
seconds – «PULSE» and «BATT-ON» displays
will be lit.
• To indicate that the self-levelling is switched
o, the lines will blink every 4 seconds.
O:
• Press and hold the «MODE» button for 5
seconds – «PULSE» display will turn o.
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 to the wall or to the target surface.

8. Checking the accuracy
Check accuracy of the Hultafors PXL 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 PXL 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 PXL 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 PXL 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 PXL 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 PXL by 180° and mark point on wall A.
• Measure the vertical distance of the marked points -
and the vertical spacing of the points - .
• Mark the center point of and .
• If the reference points and are on dierent sides of the
center point, must be subtracted from .
• If the reference points and are on the same side of the
center point, must be added to .
• 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.
8.3 Checking the perpendicularity of the lateral axes
in a square room
1. Select a room with a square floor plan, in which the walls are
approx. 10 metres apart.
• Position the device on a tripod in the middle of the room and
align the vertical laser lines perpendicular to one of the walls.
• Mark the centre of the lower plumb beam on the floor.
• Mark the intersecting point of the vertical and horizontal
laser lines.
• Mark the intersecting point of the vertical and horizontal
laser lines.
2. Rotate the device 90° clockwise.
• e lower plumb beam must remain on the marking and
the le lateral intersecting point must be exactly aligned to the
marking .
• Mark the intersecting point of the vertical and horizontal
laser lines.
3. Rotate the device 90° clockwise.
• e lower plumb beam must remain on the marking and the le
lateral intersecting point must be exactly aligned to the marking .
• Mark the intersecting point of the vertical and horizontal
laser lines.
