ROTATION LASER R15M ı Instructions of Use
Measuring basics:
The rotation laser combines a laser beam with a motorized mechanism. This makes it
simple to carry out horizontal and vertical levelling work.
The rotation laser may be used in a variety of applications, e.g. on construction sites and
in decoration work.
Measurements may be carried out at radii of up to 15 metres.
Measurements may only be carried out within a temperature range of 0°C to + 40°C.
Measuring length:
Structure
Switch on the rotation laser by pressing the button (c) for around two seconds. The green
level light will light up to indicate that the system is ready for use. Press the button (c)
again to switch off the system.
The rotation laser may be fitted to commercially available construction tripods (not
included).
Application
1) Horizontal rotation
Place the laser on the base plate (h). Switch the laser on as described in “Structure”. You
will see two stationary dots of light at right angles to each other. Adjust the rotation laser
with the help of the levelling screws (f ) so that the bubble in the two top adjusting levels is
located precisely in the centre of the mark on the level’s body. Please note that the levels
respond to the levelling screw movements along the levels’ longitudinal axis. Perfect
measuring results require that the levels be precisely aligned.
Press the rotation button (d) to activate rotation mode. The system will now run at “Fast”
rotation speed. Pressing the rotation button (d) again will switch the rotation speed to
“Medium”. Pressing the rotation button (d) yet again will switch the rotation speed to
“slow”. Pressing the rotation button (d) once more will deactivate the rotation. Now you
will see two stationary dots of light at right angles to each other again.

2) Vertical rotation
Place the laser on the side extension of the base plate (h). Switch the laser on as
described in “Structure”. You will see two stationary dots of light at right angles to each
other. Adjust the rotation laser with the help of the levelling screws (f) so that the bubble
in the adjusting level above the operating panel is located precisely in the centre of
the mark on the level’s body. Please note that the levels respond to the levelling screw
movements along the levels’ longitudinal axis. Perfect measuring results require that the
levels be precisely aligned.
Press the rotation button (d) to activate rotation mode. The system will now run at “Fast”
rotation speed. Pressing the rotation button (d) again will switch the rotation speed to
“Medium”. Pressing the rotation button (d) yet again will switch the rotation speed to
“slow”. Pressing the rotation button (d) once more will deactivate the rotation. Now you
will again see two stationary dots of light at right angles to each other.
3) Plumb function
With the aid of the laser dot exiting upwards, it is simple to transfer points from the
floor to the ceiling. Simply place the rotation laser without the tripod on the spot to be
transferred, switch it on and then mark the dot projected on to the ceiling.
Scan function
The rotation laser possesses a scan function. This means that a laser line may be
projected on to a restricted area. This will considerably increase the visibility of the laser
line. The scan line may be set at three lengths.
Switch the laser on as described in Structure and Application. Press the scan button
(e). The laser will project the “long” scan line. Pressing the scan button (e) again will
reduce the scan line to “Medium”. Pressing the scan button (e) yet again will reduce the
scan line to “Short”. Pressing the scan button (e) once more will return the scan line to
“Long”.
Using the laser sighting system
The laser sighting system allows users to use the laser even when the laser beam is not
visible, e.g. in very bright conditions.

ROTATION LASER R15M ı Instructions of Use
General information about use
Please note that the laser beam’s visibility declines with increasing ambient brightness.
Please use the supplied goggles to better see the laser beam. If possible, darken rooms
before commencing measurements. Attention: in unfavourable lighting conditions, it
may not be possible to see the laser dot from where the rotation laser is located. In
such cases, use the laser goggles and test visibility directly on the wall. The fact that
you can’t see the laser beam from where the system is located is irrelevant. It is only
necessary to be able to see the measuring point. It is usually helpful to reduce the
rotation speed to make the beam visible should the dot not be visible on the wall.
Changing the batteries:
Empty batteries must be disposed of properly.
Safety information:
 •Neverlookdirectlyintothelaserbeam.Thesuppliedgogglesareonlyintendedtoincrease
contrasts and so improve the laser beam’s visibility.
The beam may permanently damage your eyes. Never aim the laser beam at people or
reflecting surfaces.
 • Keeptheworkareacleanandtidy.Avoidshocksandjoltsontheunit.
