Initial Operation

• Protect the tool against
moisture and direct sun
irradiation.
• Do not subject the tool to
extreme temperatures or
variations in temperature.
As an example, do not leave it in
vehicles for longer periods. In
case of large variations in
temperature, allow the tool to
adjust to the ambient temperature
before putting it into operation. In
case of extreme temperatures or
variations in temperature, the
accuracy of the tool can be
impaired.
• Avoid heavy impact or and
prevent the tool from falling.
After heavy exterior impact on
the tool, an accuracy check
should always be carried out
before continuing to work (see
"Leveling Accuracy")
• Switch the tool off during
transport. Switch off the
leveling unit, which can be
damaged in the case of intense
movement.
Turning on the Tool
1. Place the tool either horizontally
or vertically on a flat surface, or
set it on a standard surveyor's
tripod, using the built-in 5/8- 11
tripod mount (located on the
bottom of the unit).
2. Turn on the tool with its ON/OFF,
speed adjustment knob 4.
Operation
Customize the rotation speed of
the laser by turning the speed
adjustment knob 4 clockwise to
increase the speed or counter-
clockwise to decrease the speed.
• ALWAYS turn off the laser
before transporting or storing
the unit.

Rotation Mode

The laser beam is dispersed
throughout the level or plumb
plane. Rotation mode is used
under conditions where laser
beam visibility is poor or
nonexistent (for example,
outdoors in daylight). It is not
always possible to easily see a
rotating laser beam. A laser
receiver-detector makes it
possible to detect and correctly
position the rotation laser indoors
or outdoors.

Working Advice

• Always use the center of the
laser point for marking. The
size of the laser point
changes with the distance.
