SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
This product emits radiation that is classified
As class II according to EN 60825 -1
The laser radiation can cause serious eye injury
• Do not stare into the laser beam
• Do not position the laser beam so that it unintentionally
blinds you or others.
• Do not operate the laser level near children or let children
operate the laser level.
• Do not look into a laser beam using magnifying optical
devices such as binoculars or a telescope, as this will
increase the level of eye injury.
WARNING: This product contains lead in solder and
certain Electrical parts contain chemicals which are
known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects or other Reproductive harm.

1.Open the battery cover by sliding cover according to the arrow.
2.Insert 2 new rechargeable AA batteries of the same
brand, according to the polarity marked inside the battery
compartment.
3.Slide the battery cover back in place.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
& SAFETY
NOTE
If the laser level will not is used for a long
period of time, remove the batteries from
the battery compartment. This will prevent
batteries from leaking and corrosion damage.

To get the most out of your Prolaser® 896G 5-DOTS GREEN
self levelling Laser Pointer, please adhere carefully to the
following instructions.
1.Turn on the laser level by sliding the locking switch. The
 levelwillprojectvelaserdots.
2.If the unit is out of leveling range (±3.5°), the laser dots will
blink. Adjust the units level until blinking ceases.
3.The laser level's pulse mode is constantly engaged
and suitable for use with a laser detector on ranges up to
165'/50m indoor.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE
Avoid setting up the laser level near heavy
machinery or sources of vibration that may
adversely affect the leveling of the laser.

• Store in a clean, dry place, between -4°F - 140°F (-20° C
+60° C)
• Before moving or transporting the unit, ensure that it is
turned off and the pendulum is locked.
• If the laser level is exposed to water, dry it before returning
it to the carrying case to prevent corrosion damage.
• To maintain the accuracy of your project, check the accuracy
 ofyourlaserlevelaccordingtotheeldcalibrationtestsprocedures.
• Change the batteries when the laser beams begin to dim.
• Wipe the aperture lens and the body of the laser level with a
clean soft lint-free cloth. Do not use solvents.
• Do not store in dusty places
• If the laser unit is exposed to water, dry it with a dry cloth. Do
not return the laser to the carrying case until completely dry,
to prevent corrosion damage.
•Donotattempttodrythelaserunitwithreorwithanelectric
dryer.
• Do not drop the laser unit, avoid rough treatment and vibrations.
• Remove batteries from the laser unit when unit is idle for a
lengthy period of time and store in carrying case.
• Ensure that the laser unit is turned off before removing batteries.
Repairs
• See the Warranty section at the end of this manual.
• Do not take the Prolaser®896G 5-DOTS GREEN Laser
Pointerapartorpermitanyunqualiedpersontotakethe 
laser unit apart. Unauthorized servicing may cause bodily
injury, irreparably damage the laser unit and invalidate
the warranty.
MAINTENANCE

11
The laser unit leaves the factory fully calibrated. Kapro
recommends that the laser pointer be checked regularly
especially if the unit has been dropped or mishandled.
Checking accuracy – Plumb dots
1. Turn the laser pointer ON.
2. Place the unit on a tripod, at approximately 1m above the
 oorand3.5mfromtheceiling.
3. Mark the Plumb Up and Plumb Down points on the ceiling
 andoor.
4. Rotate the unit 180° and align the Plumb Down point with the
 markontheoor.
5. Mark the Plumb Up point on the ceiling.
6. Measure the distance between the two marks on the
ceiling. If the distance is less than or equal to 3mm, then the
unit is calibrated.
Checking accuracy – Level dots
1. Set-up the unit in a place with two walls, at a distance of
approximately 5m from each other.
2. Set-up the unit between the two walls, at about 0.5m from
one of the walls
3. Mark the position of the laser dot on one of the walls (A1).
4. Rotate the unit 180° and mark this dot on the opposite wall (A2).
5. Move the unit to a distance of about 0.5m from the second wall,
 rotatetofacetherstwallandmarkthepositionofthesame
laser dot (B1).
6. Rotate the unit 180° and mark a the position of the dot on the
opposite wall (B2).
7. Measure the differences between vertical positions of the dots:
(A1-B1) and (A2-B2).
Calculate the following difference: (A1-B1) - (A2-B2)
If the difference is less than or equal to ±3mm, then the unit is
calibrated.
8. You can check each level dot in the same manner.
FIELD CALIBRATION TEST

12
Checking square (Accuracy of 90° angle between the
level beams)
1. Use a room that is at least 5 meters long. Mark a point
 (A1)ontheoornearthewallatoneendoftheroom.
2. Set up the laser so that its down beam is over point A1.
Make sure the front level beam points toward the far wall of
the room.
3. Mark a dot at the center of the room using the target and
 transferthedotlocationtotheoor(A2).
4. Mark a dot on the far wall (A3).
5. Set up the laser so that its down beam is over point A2 and
the front level beam points to the A3 mark.
6. Mark the location of the square beam (A4) on the side wall.
Note: To ensure accuracy, the distances from A1 to A2,
A2 to A3, and A2 to A4 should be equal.
7. Turn the unit 90° so that the front level beam aligns with
point A4, while down beam is still over point A2.
8. Mark the location of the square beam on the wall and
 transferitslocationontotheoor(A5)ascloseaspossible
to point A1.
9. Measure the distance between points A1 and A5. If the
distance is less than or equal to 3mm (while the distance
from A2 to A1, A3, A4 is approximately 2.5 m), then the
unit is calibrated.
10. You can check the angle to the other square level dot in
the same manner.
