1. Intended use
Congratulations on the purchase of your STABILA measuring tool.
STABILA laser units from the LAX600 series are simple to operate laser lines with three
360° laser lines for levelling in a horizontal and vertical direction, for transferring/creating
90° angles and for plumb lines.
The laser units have a sealed casing (IP65) for use on building sites.
They are self-levelling within a range of ±4°.
The laser lines are pulsed, which makes it possible to work over greater distances using
a special STABILA line receiver. For more information refer to the operating instructions
for the line receiver.
The LAX600 series can only be operated with a 12V Li-Ion CAS System battery.
LAX600G:
Receivers must be suitable for green laser beams.
These operating instructions are valid for all devices from the LAX600 series.
The laser beams are only displayed in one colour.
If you still have questions aer reading the operating instructions,
you can obtain advice over the phone at any time:

Equipment and functions:
• Pulsed laser lines
• 1x360° horizontal laser line
• 2x360° vertical laser lines
• 90°angle in horizontal and vertical direction
• Plumb line laser function
• Manual mode
• 1/4" tripod socket
• Carrying case
• STABILA CAS – 12V Li-Power 2.0Ah battery – not included in every set
• SC30 charger, 12-18V, CAS system – not included in every set
LAX600G:
• Includes green laser beams to improve visibility with the naked eye.
2.2 Safety instructions for the Li-ion battery pack
Thoroughly read the safety instructions and operating instructions for the Li-ion battery
pack.
2.1 Safety instructions for laser units
In Class 2 laser units, your eyes are usually protected from accidental, short-term expo-
sure to the laser beam by the eyelid-closing reflex and/or the reflex reaction to turn
one’s head. If a laser beam hits your eye, deliberately close your eyes and move your
head out of the path of the beam. Do not look into the direct or reflected beam.
The STABILA laser goggles available for our laser units are not safety eyewear:
their function is to improve the visibility of the laser beam.
• Do not aim the laser beam directly at people!
• Avoid dazzling other people with the unit!
• Keep the unit out of the reach of children!
• If operating or adjustment equipment that has not been specied here is used, or
if the unit is not operated in the ways described here, this may result in hazardous
exposure to radiation!

4.1 Inserting and charging the battery
Only 12V Li-ion CAS System (Cordless Alliance System)
battery packs can be used.
Push in the battery pack in the direction of the arrow
until it engages. The battery pack must have an adequate
charge capacity. Fully charge the battery pack before initial
commissioning (observe the display).
Do not recharge a fully charged battery pack.
Check the charge capacity: Press the red button.
The battery pack must not be inserted in the charger.
LED display:
low charge capacity (<20%) – charge the battery pack
Do not allow the battery pack to become fully discharged.
Charging the battery pack:
Thoroughly read the safety instructions and operating
instructions for the battery pack.
Release the locking device and remove the battery pack
from the laser unit. Insert the battery pack into the charger.
Connect the charger to the mains plug.
Once the charging process has nished, the charger
automatically switches to conservation mode.
The battery pack can remain in the charger.

4.2 Switching the unit on
Move the laser unit to the working position and switch on
using the sliding switch.
The LAX600/LAX600G always starts in horizontal mode
and levels itself automatically.
The green LED indicates that the unit is switched on.
4.3 Commissioning without the levelling
function
Marking function mode can only be switched on with the
"Manual mode" switch. The laser beam flashes twice every
5seconds.
The LAX600/LAX600G is not in self-levelling mode and
can only be used in this mode for marking and alignment.
Always use the centre
of the laser line when
marking and aligning.
The laser beam flashes if the inclination
of the laser unit is too steep.
The laser unit is outside the self-levelling
range and cannot level itself automatically.

5. Functions
5.1 Selecting laser functions
Once the unit has been switched on using the sliding switch,
the "Laser lines" button can be used to set the various laser
functions, as required.
To indicate that the unit is switched on and the transport
lock is open, it is not possible to switch o all of the laser
lines at the same time via the "Laser lines" buttons.
One laser line therefore always remains activated and
visible. All of the laser lines can only be switched o via
the sliding switch or via the "man" button in manual mode.
5.2 Working with the receiver
Pulse mode must be activated for work completed
over larger distances or using a suitable receiver.
Note:
The receiver must be suitable for pulsed line lasers
and for the colour of the laser beam.

7. Using the SWB10 bracket
The LAX600/LAX600G can be attached and aligned on
walls or proles using the SWB10 bracket. The clamp can
be used to attach the bracket to interior construction
proles. The hanging hole enables it to be hung on nails
or hooks.
The LAX600/LAX600G is bolted to the retaining bracket.
Using the magnet surface, the retaining bracket is either
attached to the sliding plate on the bracket or directly to
magnetic metal surfaces.
The bracket must roughly be aligned vertically using
the adjusting screw, so that the LAX600/LAX600G
is in the self-levelling range.
Once the clamping screw has been released, the
LAX600/LAX600G can be moved upwards by 11mm / 0,4”.
The exact height is set using the ne adjustment.

8.1 Vertical check
Checking the two vertical laser lines
1. Create a reference line, e.g. with a plumb line.
2. Set up and align the LAX600/LAX600G at distance Y
in front of this reference line.
3. Compare the laser line with the reference line.
4. At a distance of 2m / 7’ , the laser line must not deviate
from the reference line by more than 1mm / 11/256”.
5. Perform this check for both vertical laser lines.
8. Checking the accuracy
The LAX600/LAX600G is designed for use on building
sites and is perfectly adjusted before leaving our
premises. As with all precision instruments, check
the calibration accuracy of the unit on a regular basis.
Always check the unit before you start work, especially
if it has been exposed to heavy vibrations.

8.2 Horizontal check
Checking the horizontal laser line level
Please ensure that you adhere as closely as possible to
the orientation of the unit as shown.
1. Place the LAX600/LAX600G on a horizontal surface
or on a tripod at distance S of at least 5m (16’5”) in
front of a wall, with the operator panel facing towards
the wall.
2. Switch the laser unit on and wait until it has automati-
cally levelled itself.
3. Mark the centre of the visible laser line on the wall
– measurement1 (point1). A receiver can also be used.
4. Rotate the entire laser unit through 90° without altering
the height of the laser (i.e. do not change the tripod
height). Allow the unit to level itself again automatically.
5. Mark the centre of the laser lines on the wall (point2).
6. Repeat steps4 and 5 twice to obtain points3 and 4.
7. If the dierences between the four control points are
less than6 mm / 1/4” for a distance of 10m / 32’10” ,
the unit is within its permitted tolerance of ±0.1mm/m
(± 18” over 100) .
In this case, points1 and 3 correspond to the X-axis
and points2 and 4 to the Y-axis of the unit.

8.3 Angle check
Checking the 90° angle
1. Mark pointA on the floor at a distance of
10m (32'10") in a sufficiently large corner
of the room.
2. Align the LAX600/LAX600G with pointA
using the plumb-line dot.
3. Align the LAX600/LAX600G with the one
wall using a laser line.
4. Precisely mark pointB on the floor at the
halfway point.
5. Precisely mark pointC on the wall or floor.
6. Shift the LAX600/LAX600G and align with
pointB using the plumb-line dot.
7. Align the LAX600/LAX600G with pointC
again using the laser line.
8. Precisely mark pointD on the other wall or
on the floor using the 90° laser line.
Note:
The distance from AtoB, BtoC and BtoD
should be the same to guarantee accuracy.
9. Turn the LAX600/LAX600G through 90°
and align the first laser line with pointD.
10. Mark positionE on the perpendicular second
laser line as close as possible to pointA.
11. Measure the distance between points AtoE.
