Makita SK700D/SK700GD 2

Overview
Ove rview
The Makita SK700D/SK700GD is a self-levelling
multifunctional laser. It combines the advantage of
three 360° line lasers in one tool and a fine adjust-
ment knob. It is a reliable precision laser for any
kind of tasks like precise framing, levelling, plumb-
ing, transfering and setting out right angles. It sup-
ports you on the job site with six intersection points
(front, back, right, left, up, down) which are
arranged precisely in 90° to each other.

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 Makita LDX1 laser
receiver.
Li-Ion battery
Installing or removing battery cartridge
CAUTION
Always switch off the tool before installing or
removing of the battery cartridge.
CAUTION
Hold the tool and the battery cartridge firmly when
installing or removing battery cartridge. Failure to
hold the tool and the battery cartridge firmly may
cause them to slip off your hands and result in dam-
age to the tool and battery cartridge and a per-
sonal injury.
To remove the battery cartridge, slide it from the
tool while sliding the button (1) on the front of the
cartridge.
To install the battery cartridge, align the tongue on
the battery cartridge with the groove in the hous-
ing and slip it into place. Insert it all the way until it
locks in place with a little click. If you can see the
red indicator (2) on the upper side of the button, it
is not locked completely.
CAUTION
Always install the battery cartridge fully until the
red indicator cannot be seen. If not, it may acci-
dentally fall out of the tool, causing injury to you or
someone around you.
CAUTION
Do not install the battery cartridge forcibly. If the
cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being
inserted correctly.
