Carefully read the Safety Instructions and User Manual before using this product. The person
responsible for the instrument must ensure that all users understand and adhere to these
instructions.
Retain this manual for future reference.
IMPORTANT: The following labels are on your laser tool for your convenience and safety.
They indicate where the laser light is emitted by the level. ALWAYS BE AWARE of their
location when using the level.
DO NOT remove any warning label(s) on the housing. This instrument must only be used for
leveling and layout tasks as outlined in this manual.
ALWAYS make sure that any bystanders in the vicinity of use are made aware of the
dangers of looking directly into the laser tool.
DO NOT use in combination with other optical instruments. Do not modify the instrument, or
make manipulations or use in other applications than those described in the manual.
DO NOT look into the beam with optical aids, such as magnifiers, binoculars or Telescopes.
DO NOT stare into the laser beam or direct it towards other persons. Make sure the
instrument is not set at eye level. Eye protection is normally afforded by natural aversion
responses such as the blink reflex.
DO NOT direct the laser beam at other persons.
ALWAYS turn the laser tool “OFF” when not in use. Leaving the laser tool “ON” increases
the risk of someone inadvertently staring into the laser beam.
DO NOT operate the laser tool in combustible areas such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust.
DO NOT disassemble the laser tool. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
Disassembling the laser will void all warranties on the product. Do not modify the product in
any way. Modifying the laser tool may result in hazardous laser radiation exposure.
DO NOT use this instrument in areas where a risk of explosion is present.
NOTE: Since the laser beam is of the focused type, ensure you check the beam’s path over
a relatively long distance and take all necessary precautions to ensure the beam cannot
interfere with other persons.

Applications
3. Level:
Use front laser beam to project level
reference point out to desired object
Establish 2 reference points that need to
be level. Align the front beam laser to a
set reference point. With a tripod or other
stationary object, rotate the laser unit
to project the front laser beam to a new
location. This new location will be level with
the first point. Position the desired object
until the laser beam is aligned with the point
that is being moved.
1. Plumb:
Establish 2 reference points that need to
be plumb. Align one of the vertical laser
beams to a set reference point. The opposing
laser beam will be projecting a point which
is plumb. Position the desired object until
the laser beam is aligned with the second
reference point that needs to be plumb with
the set reference point.
2. Point Transfer:
Align one of the vertical laser beams to a set
reference point. The opposing laser beam
will be projecting a point which is plumb.
Mark point of the opposing laser beam.
Align the front beam laser to a set reference
point. With a tripod or other stationary
object, rotate the laser unit to project the
front laser beam to a new location. This new
location will be level with the first point.
Mark point of the laser beam.
Calibration
NOTE: The laser unit has been calibrated at the time of manufacturing. Periodically check
the accuracy of the laser unit to ensure that the calibrated specifications are maintained.
Up and Down Beam Accuracy
2. Rotate laser unit 180° keeping same
distances for D1and D2 . Align downward
laser beam with point P2 . Mark point P3.
3. Measure distance D3between points P3
and P1.

4. Calculate the maximum allowed offset
distance and compare to D3. If D3is
not less than or equal to the calculated
maximum offset distance the unit must be
returned to your Stanley Distributor.

6. Calculate the maximum allowed offset
distance and compare to the difference
of D3and D4as shown in the equation. If

Maintenance and Care
Laser unit is not waterproof. DO NOT allow to get wet. Damage to internal circuits may
result.
DO NOT leave laser unit in direct sunlight or expose it to high temperatures. The housing
and some internal parts are made of plastic and may become deformed at high temperatures.
DO NOT store the laser unit in a cold environment. Moisture may form on interior parts
when warming up. This moisture could fog up laser windows and cause corrosion of internal
circuit boards.
When working in dusty locations, some dirt may collect on the laser window. Remove any
moisture or dirt with a soft, dry cloth.
DO NOT use aggressive cleaning agents or solvents.
Store the laser unit in its case when not in use. If storing for extended time, remove batteries
before storage to prevent possible damage to the instrument.
