NOTE:
• See Feature Set to reference which models offer specific functions.
• The laser tools are sealed and calibrated at the factory to the accuracies specified.
• It is recommended to perform a calibration check prior to its first use and then
periodically during future use.
• Be sure to allow the laser tool adequate time to Auto-Level (< 60 seconds) prior to
a calibration check.
• The laser tool should be checked regularly to ensure its accuracies, especially for
precise layouts.
Horizontal Check (See Figure C )
• Set the laser tool on a tripod 20 m away from a wall with the ”X1” side
facing the wall ( C1).
• Power ON the laser tool and allow the laser tool to Auto-Level and be sure laser is
rotating.
• Go to the wall and mark a reference point “D1” where the laser line is on the wall.
If available, using a detector may help in locating the beam more easily.
• Loosen the laser tool from the tripod and rotate the laser tool 180° so
that the “X2” side is now facing the wall ( C2).
• Go back to the wall and measure the distance between the first
reference point “D1” and the second reference point “D2” ( C3).
• There is no need to adjust calibration if the distance between reference
point “D1” and “D2” is < 2 mm.
• If the distance measured is ≥ 2 mm then a calibration adjustment is necessary.
• Perform the same steps for the “Y” axis as was done for the “X” axis.
Replace “X1” and “X2” with Y1” and “Y2” ( C4).
Vertical Check (See Figure E )
(Only necessary on models with Vertical Auto-Leveling)
• Set the laser tool on a stable surface in its vertical position 1 m away from
a wall that extends ≥ 2 m high with the “Y1” side facing that wall.
• Power ON the laser tool and allow the laser tool to Auto-Level and be
sure laser is rotating.
• Mark reference points “A” (where laser line is on floor 1 m away from wall), “B”
(where laser beam is at corner), and “D1” (where laser beam is 2 m up the wall).
• Rotate the laser tool 180° so that the “Y2” side is now facing the wall.
• Align the laser beam with reference points “A” and “B” and then go back to the wall
and measure the distance between the reference points “D1” and “D2”.
• There is no need to adjust calibration if the distance between reference point
“D1” and “D2” is < 1 mm.
• If the distance measured is ≥ 1 mm then a calibration adjustment is necessary.

• Handle measuring devices with care.
• Clean the device after every use with a soft cloth. If necessary, dampen the cloth
with water.
• If the instrument gets wet, clean it and dry it carefully.
• Only put the laser away when it is completely dry.
• Remove the batteries or rechargeable batteries when switching off the laser for a
long time.
• Do not use solvent to clean the laser.
• Only transport the laser in its original case.
Do not leave the Prexiso laser in direct sunlight. Do not expose the laser to high
temperatures.
The laser body and some internal parts are made of plastic and can warp at high
temperatures. Do not store the laser in a very cold environment, as this can cause
condensation to form on the internal parts when the laser is warmed up. This can
mist up the beam windows and cause the internal circuit boards to rust.
POSSIBLE ERRORS
If the measurements calculated by the laser are incorrect, this could
be caused by :
• use of the laser near plastic or glass windows.
• dirt or obstruction of the beam windows.
• the laser may have fallen over without your knowledge. This highlights the
importance of regularly checking the laser’s precision.
• extreme changes in temperature, e.g. using the laser in a cold environment after
storing it in a warm environment. Wait a few minutes for the device to reach room
temperature.
WARRANTY AND RESPONSIBILITY
The device has a 2-year basic warranty. This warranty does not cover breakdowns
or faults which may have been caused by :
• incorrect use of the device.
• non-respect of the instructions described In the user manual.
• off cuts, poor handling, use of unsuitable batteries, poor electrical connections etc.
