Operation
Inserting/replacing the batteries
► Clean the battery contacts and also those of the device prior to the
battery installation.
► Battery contacts need to be clean, both on the battery and in the
applliance.
♦ Open the battery compartment .
♦ Insert the batteries. Ensure correct polarity as shown on the
diagram inside the battery compartment.
♦ Close the battery compartment .
With a low battery level, the LED flashes red.
Always replace all batteries together. Only use batteries from one
manufacturer and with the same capacity.
If you do not intend to use the appliance for a long time, remove the
batteries. During extended periods of storage, the batteries can cor-
rode and discharge themselves.
Switching on and off
♦ To turn on the appliance, move the ON/OFF switch into the
position. Immediately after switching on, the appliance emits
two laser lines from the laser aperture .
♦ To turn off the appliance, move the ON/OFF switch into the

PKLL 7 A1 US–EN │ 15 ■
Automatic levelling
■ Place the appliance on a firm horizontal surface to work with auto-
matic levelling or fasten it onto a tripod via the 1/4” thread .
■ After switching on, the automatic levelling system automatically
compensates for irregularities within the self-levelling range of
± 4°. Levelling is complete as soon as the laser lines no longer
move and the LED lights up green.
■ If automatic levelling is not possible, e.g. because the underside
of the measuring tool is off the horizontal by more than 4° or be-
cause you are holding the appliance in your hand, then the LED
will light up red and the appliance will work without automatic
levelling. The laser lines will remain lit and flash, but the two
crossed lines will not necessarily run at right angles to each other.
When you are working without automatic levelling, this is always
indicated by the red LED .
After vibrations or position changes during operation, the appliance
will always automatically re-level itself. To avoid errors, always check
the position of the horizontal and/or vertical laser line in relation to
reference points after re-levelling.
Working without automatic levelling
♦ Move the ON/OFF switch into the position.
♦ Press the button for LED levelling. Immediately after switching
on, the appliance emits two laser lines from the laser aperture
which are not levelled. When you are working without automatic
levelling, this is always indicated by the red LED .

Working procedures
■Use only the centre of the laser line to make your marking.
The width of the laser line changes with the distance.
Working with the clamp
With the help of the clamp you can attach the measuring tool to
various items, e.g. vertical or horizontal boards or pipes.
♦ Undo the fixing screw .
♦ Position the clamp in the desired location and then retighten
the fixing screw .
♦ Now place the appliance with the tripod thread on the
screw and screw it tight with moderate force. Do not over-
tighten the appliance as it could be damaged.
♦ Align the clamp to roughly the position you require before you
switch on the appliance.
♦ To do this, undo the locking screw and move the appliance
to a horizontal position at the desired height.
♦ Retighten the locking screw .
Working with a tripod
A tripod offers a stable, height-adjustable support for taking measure-
ments.
♦ Place the measuring tool with the tripod thread on the 1/4”
screw of the tripod.
