PRO5TM OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Turning Laser On (Horizontal Operation)
The PRO5TM is turned on by rotating the pendulum lock clockwise to the
“ON” position at which point the 5 laser dots and power LED all turn on
simultaneously.
If the 5 laser dots ash together with a loud beeping sound then the PRO5TM
is out of self levelling range and the laser housing needs to be set up more
level until it is in self levelling range.
The pendulum lock helps protect the laser level when not in use, always
store your PRO5TM with the knob in the “OFF” position.

Magnetic Base Operation
The PRO5TM can be used either on its own or attached to the magnetic base,
the “Base Locking Screw” secures the magnetic base onto the PRO5TM.
The magnetic base has two positions; rst with the laser plumb dot located
within the inner cut out circle of the base and secondly with the PRO5TM slid
out so the plumb dot is located in the cut out “V” on the front of the base.
The Magnetic base can be mounted on any horizontal or vertical steel
surface, it can also be mounted onto a standard survey style indoor tripod
with 5/8” 11tpi thread. The PRO5TM kit also comes with a strap than can be
threaded through the base and around non magnetic surfaces such as plastic
pipe or wood studs.

Technical Specications
Calibration & Self Check
All Redback Lasers have been checked for calibration and certied by one
of our technicians here in Australia prior to despatch and should under
normal conditions not go out of calibration. A calibration certied sticker
with the date and name of technician is located on the laser itself. It is
worth checking calibration from time to time particularly after any known
knocks or drops. An easy way to continually check calibration is to always
double check you work with the laser located in a different position or use
an alternate vertical line. Various other methods for checking calibration can
be found at www.redbacklasers.com.au/downloads or the laser can
be returned to our service department for checking and re-calibration. We
at Redback Lasers provide a once off free calibration and check within the
duration of the warranty period see page 12 for details.

REDBACK LASERS WARRANTY
Duration of warranty is xed and automatic, when we advertise 2 years on a particular model,
its two years. No drop down to a lesser time if you forget to register, registration is NOT
required just proof of purchase showing date.

charge you for a genuine warranty failure a month or two outside that warranty period, we

automatically fail the warranty claim, if the fault is NOT caused by a drop or misuse and is a
genuine warranty failure then we will cover it.
