5. Operating Instructions
IMPORTANT: It is the responsibility of the user to ensure proper
maintenance of the Tiling aser. Conduct periodic test
measurements to ensure the instrument is measuring accurately
and consistently. This is most important if the instrument has
been exposed to extreme temperatures or moisture. Keep the
Tiling aser optic lens clean and inspect for damage.
Battery Installation
To install batteries in the Tiling aser:
1. Remove the battery cover, which is
located on the bottom of the tool.
2. Insert 2 “AA” batteries into the battery
compartment according to the polarity illustrated inside.
3. Replace the battery cover.
Notes:
• Use only alkaline batteries.
• Remove the batteries when storing the instrument for an extended
time (more than 3 months) to avoid damage to the tool should the
batteries deteriorate.

Using the Product
1. Press the power button to power on the tool, and it will emit two
laser beams.
2. Position the laser so that it is appropriate to your application
needs. Follow a reference line or, if necessary, align the laser
beams with reference points.
3. Use the laser beams as the new reference lines, since they can be
seen over mastic or floor coatings.
4. To power off the tool, press the power button.
Establishing Common Angles
1. Mark the point on the floor where the laser beams would intersect
(Point A).
2. Using the angle scale as a guide, mark the point on the floor that
corresponds to the angle you want to establish (Point B).
3. Rotate the laser so that the 0° angle scale is on Point B, and
make sure that the laser beams still intersect at Point A.
Laying Square Tiles
1. Position the Tiling aser in a corner so that the 0° laser line runs
parallel to a wall and the T-edge of the Tiling aser faces against
the wall.
2. ay the first square tile so that any right-angled side of the tile is
seated flush on the 0° and 90° laser line.

Laying from Edges
1. Position the Tiling aser with the -edge facing against the edge
from which you want to lay tiles. The 90° laser line should run
parallel to this edge.
2. The 0° laser line now marks the bottom tile row.
Laying Kitchen Tiles
1. Determine the height at which the first tile row should begin.
2. Hold the tool vertically against the wall so that the 90° laser line
displays the bottom edge of the first tile row.

Tips from the Pros
• Increasing the Beams’ Visibility – When working in bright
conditions, such as when working near windows or outside walls,
the visibility of the laser beams can be maximized by following
these steps:
• Work towards the laser.
• Use a freestanding target (sold separately).
• Wear laser glasses (sold separately).
Note: aser glasses enhance beam visibility but should never be
used to stare into the beam or be used as safety glasses. Eye
damage may result if these directions are not followed.
• Use fresh batteries.
• Always mark to the center of the laser line. The width
may change, but the center location is always collinear
to the Tiling aser.
• When using the Tiling aser on the floor, do not mark
reference lines that project onto walls. If the floor is not
perfectly level, these lines will not be plumb.
