Working Advice
Working with the Tripod (see figure A)
A tripod offers a stable, height-adjustable measuring sup-
port. Place the measuring tool via the tripod mount on to the
1/4" male thread of the tripod and screw the locking screwof
the tripod tight.1Holding Laterally against a Wall or Object (see figure B)
For quick checking of heights, the measuring tool can beheld
by the contact surfaces laterally against a vertical wall, cabinets,
etc. Take care to hold the measuring tool straightlyand calmly.
Laser Viewing Glasses (Accessory)
The laser viewing glasses filter out the ambient light. This
makes the red light of the laser appear brighter for the eyes.
Do not use the laser viewing glasses as safety goggles.
The laser viewing glasses are used for improved visualisa-
tion of the laser beam, but they do not protect against laser
radiation.
Laser line projection modes
Your self-levelling cross-line
laser level has three
laser-projection modes.
To select a specific
laser-projection mode, press
the mode button until you
reach the desired projection
mode. This laser tool defaults
to the cross-hair pattern mode
when it is turned on.
To choose a projection mode, press the
mode button:
Using your self-levelling cross-line laser level
Your self-levelling cross-line laser level has two working modes
Self-levelling mode and Lock (manual) mode.

To install batteries (fig 2)
The battery compartment holds
two
“AA” batteries.
1. Push the latch to open the
battery cover.
2. Insert two new “AA” alkaline
batteries,following the polarity
(+/-) as indicated on the pole plate.
3. Securely close the cover.
NOTE:
• Always turn off the tool before installing or replacing the
batteries.
• Remove the batteries from the tool when not using it for
extended periods.
• The A A batteries should match each other in brand and
type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries.
• Remove depleted batteries immediately, and dispose of
them according to the laws and regulations governing
your community.
Self-levelling mode
In this mode, the tool will level itself if it is within ±4° of horizontal.
1. Place the self-levelling cross-line laser level on a flat, smooth
surface that is within ±4° of
horizontal.
2. Turn the tool on by sliding the power switch to the up position
The self-levelling cross-line laser level will automatically level
within 5 seconds.T
heL ED indicator will shine green.
3. Press the mode button until the desired laser-projection mode
is achieved and the laser line is projected from the laser
aperture.
4. When the self-levelling cross-laser out of levelling ,the LED
will turn to red and the laser line will blink.
5. To turn off the laser lines, slide the switch to down position.
.
WARNING!
When turning the laser on, always be aware of
protecting your eyes and the eyes of those
around you. Never point the laser light at
anyone’s face, including your own.
Lock mode
This mode cannot be used to perform horizontal or vertical
levelling, because the laser lines are no longer self-balancing.
In this mode, the LED indicator will always shine red.
1. Keep the power switch off, press the mode button to turn on
the laser. The laser lines are now locked, and are no longer
self-levelling.
2. Press the mode button repeatedly to change the laser-
projection mode.
3. Slope your self-levelling cross-line laser level to project a
straight line for reference. In this mode, the laser lines are
projected continuously and will not blink, even if the slope
angle
exceeds 4°.
4. To turn the laser off, press the mode button repeatedly until
the laser shuts off.
Applications
Your self-levelling cross-line laser level can be hand-held for point
marking and simple alignment by sight, or it can be used to make
a “chalk line” using the lock mode. It is ideal for the following applications:
• Hanging pictures, photos, or artwork on walls
• Wallpapering and stencil work
• Framing doors and windows
• Installing electrical wiring and pipes
• Mounting wall fixtures, electrical outlets, switches and lighting
• Installing a drop ceiling
• Painting
• Installing closets
• Laying tile and flooring
1. Press the button once to select the cross-hairattern
(horizontal and vertical)
2. Press the button twice to select the horizontal laser line.
3. Press the button three times to selec t the vertical laser line.
