Overview
Ove rview
The Leica Lino L6R/L6G is a self-levelling mul-
tifunctional laser. It combines the advantage of
three 360° line lasers in one tool and an integrated
fine adjustment knob. It is a reliable precision laser
for any kind of tasks like precise framing, levelling,
plumbing, transfering and setting out right angles.
It supports you on the job site with six intersection
points (front, back, right, left, up, down) which are
arranged precisely in 90° to each other. The
device can be used indoors and in outdoor situ-
ations in case of limited dust and at most splash
water effects according to IP54.

Instrument Set-up
In s trume n tSet-up
Introduction
The safety instructions (see Safety Instruc-
tions) and the user manual should be read
through carefully before the product is used
for the first time.
The person responsible for the product must
ensure that all users understand these dir-
ections and adhere to them.
The symbols used have the following meanings:
WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation or an
unintended use which, if not avoided, will result in
death or serious injury.
CAUTION
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation or an
unintended use which, if not avoided, may result in
minor injury and/or appreciable material, financial
and environmental damage.
Important paragraphs which must be
adhered to in practice as they enable the
product to be used in a technically correct
and efficient manner.
Levelling lock
Levelling unlocked
In the unlocked position the instrument auto-
matically levels itself within the specified inclin-
ation range. (See Technical data)
Levelling locked
Turn the levelling lock in order to transport or tilt
the instrument beyond the self-levelling range.
When locked, the pendulum is fixed and the self-
levelling function is deactivated. In this case the
laser blinks every 5 sec.

Instrument Set-up
Laser receiver
To be able to detect the laser lines over long dis-
tances or in unfavourable lighting conditions, a
laser receiver can be used.
We recommend the Leica RGR200 laser
receiver.
The Lino is powered by XRANGE technology and
therefore automatically detected by the receiver.
Li-Ion battery
Charge Li-Ion battery
Charge the Li-Ion battery at +5°C to +45°C
(+41°F to +113°F) before using it for the first time.
While charging, the instrument may heat up. This
is normal and should not affect the instrument´s
lifespan or performance. At the recommended
storage temperature of -20°C to +30°C (-4°F to
+86°F), batteries containing a 50% to 100%
charge can be stored up to 1 year. After this stor-
age period the batteries must be recharged.
CAUTION
Connecting the charger using the wrong adapter
may cause serious damage to the instrument. Any
damage caused by misuse is not covered by war-
ranty. Use only Leica-approved chargers, bat-
teries and cables. Unapproved chargers or cables
can cause the battery to explode or damage the
instrument.

Operations
Functions
Laser on/Vertical and horizontal mode
Check if self-levelling is required and cor-
respondingly activated. (See Levelling lock
for details)
* In very hot environments it can be that maximum
two lines work simultaneously (see Message
Codes).
All on mode*
Horizontal mode

Operations
Vertical front mode
Activate levelling lock and press ON for tilt
applications.
Switching line intensity
l1x: Power reduction -25%, smaller line
width.
l2x: Power reduction -50%, smallest line
width.
l3x: Full power 100%, maximum range
(default).
Saving operating mode
Place the lock switch to the unlocked position (see
Levelling lock). To save the favourite operating
mode, press and hold the ON and power adjust-
ment button during operation for 2 sec. The status
LED blinks 3 times in green colour. The instrument
has stored the function and line intensity to the
memory and as the new default mode. To reset
the function and line intensity to factory settings,
press and hold the ON and power adjustment but-
ton during operation for 5 sec and wait until the
status LED blinks 3 times in red colour.
2 sec = save actual function and line intensity
5 sec = reset to factory settings
