OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Working in Automatic mode (self-leveling):
In automatic mode the laser level will level itself in the range of
± 2.5° and will project 1 horizontal ,4 vertical lines, and 1 plumb
dot. These lines will create 1 cross lines on the wall, and a second
cross lines on the ceiling.
1. Remove the laser from the case and place it on a solid at, and
free vibration surface, or on a tripod.
2. Adjust the unit’s support legs (#6), or the tripod legs, until the
surface level (#4) is centered.
3. Turn the pendulum safety lock (#12) clockwise to the ON
position. The surface level at the center of the keypad (#4) will
light. The cross beams forward, and plumb dot will be projected.
4. To direct the beams to the desirable position turn the laser and
use the ne – adjustment knobs (#5), for the precise position.
5. Press the push button V (#2), the rear vertical beam will be
projected too.
6. Additional click on the push button V (#2) will add the 2 sides
vertical beams. This will create additional cross beams above
the laser.
7. Additional click on the push button V(#2) will turn off all vertical beams.
8. Press the push button H(#1) to turn off or on the horizontal beam.
9. If the initial level of the laser is beyond ± 2.5°, the laser beams
will ash, and a beep alarm will be heard. In this case reposition
the laser on a more leveled surface.
10. Before moving the laser level, turn the pendulum safety
lock (#12) anti-clockwise to the OFF position. This will lock the
pendulum, and protect your laser.

Working in Manual mode:
In Manual mode the 875G the self-leveling mechanism is disabled
and the laser beams can be set at any slope required.
1. Long press on the push button M (#3) will activate the Manual
mode. The laser will project blinking forward cross beams, and
the red LED (#5) will light up.
2. Choose the beams that you want to work with by pressing the
push buttons Vor H.
3. To mark the slope, tilt the laser to the desirable slope.
4. To turn the manual mode OFF, press again the M(#3).
5. While in Manual mode, turning the pendulum safety lock (#12)
from OFF to ON will turn off the Manual mode, and the red
LED (#5), near the push button M(#3). The automatic
self – leveling will be activated if the laser level is within
the self – level range.

13
Working in Pulse mode with a detector:
For outdoor work under direct sunlight, or bright conditions and for
extended indoor ranges up to 60 meters, use the pulse mode with
a Detector.
When the pulse mode is activated the laser beams will ash at a
very high frequency (Invisible to the human eye) this will allow
the detector to detect the laser beams.
1. The pulse mode can be activated in Automatic and Manual
modes.
2. To switch on the Pulse Mode press the push button P(#4), the
green LED (#6) near the P(#4) push button will light up.
3. When the pulse mode is switched on, the visibility of the laser
beams are reduced a little bit.
