A flashing red indicator light indicates that the batteries are low
and need to be replaced. The laser may continue to operate
for a short time while the batteries continue to drain, but the
beam(s) will quickly dim. After fresh batteries are installed and
the laser is turned on again, the laser beam(s) will return to full
brightness and the red indicator light will stay off. (A flashing
laser beam is not caused by low batteries; see Out of Tilt
Range Indicator.)
OPERATION
TO TURN THE LASERS ON AND OFF (FIg. B)
With the laser off, place it on a flat surface. This model has two
ON/OFF buttons, one for a horizontal laser line 3 and one for a
vertical laser line 4. Each laser line is powered on by pressing its
ON/OFF button. The laser lines can be powered one at a time
or at the same time. Pressing the ON/OFF buttons again turns
the laser lines off.
USING THE LASERS
The beams are level or plumb as long as the calibration has
been checked (see Field Calibration Check) and the laser
beam is not flashing (see Out of Tilt Range Indicator).
Out of Tilt Range Indicator (Fig. C, D)
The lasers are designed to self-level. If the laser has been tilted
so much that it cannot level itself (average > 4° tilt), it will flash
the laser beam (Fig. D). The flashing beam indicates the tilt
range has been exceeded and IS NOT LEVEL (OR PLUMB)
AND SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR DETERMINING OR
MARKING LEVEL (OR PLUMB). Try repositioning the laser on
a more level surface.

Using the Lasers with Accessories
The lasers are equipped with a 1/4" x 20 female thread on the
bottom of the unit. This thread is to accommodate current or
future DeWALT accessories. Only use DeWALT accessories
specified for use with this product. Follow the directions included
with the accessory.
Caution! The use of any other accessory not recommended
for use with this tool could be hazardous.
If you need any assistance in locating any accessory, please contact
DeWALT Industrial Tool Co., 701 East Joppa Road, Towson, MD
21286 or call 1–800–4-DeWALT (1–800–433–9258). See our
catalog on the World Wide Web at www.DeWALT.com.
Using the Pivot Bracket (Fig. E)
The lasers have a magnetic pivot bracket 5 permanently attached
to the units. This bracket allows the unit to be mounted to any
upright surface made of steel or iron. Common examples of
suitable surfaces include steel framing studs, steel door frames
and structural steel beams. The bracket also has a keyhole slot
6 allowing the unit to be hung from a nail or screw on any kind of
surface. Position the laser and/or wall mount on a stable surface.
Serious personal injury or damage to the laser may result if the
laser falls.
Using the Laser with the Wall Mount (Fig. E)
The DW0860 Laser Wall Mount offers more mounting options
for the DW088 lasers. The wall mount has a clamp 7 at one end
which can be fixed to a wall angle for acoustic ceiling installation.
At the other end of the wall mount is a screw hole 8, allowing the
wall mount to be attached to any surface with a nail or screw.
Once the wall mount is secured, its steel plate provides a
surface to which the magnetic pivot bracket can be attached.
The position of the laser can then be fine-tuned by sliding the
pivot bracket up or down on the wall mount.
Leveling the Lasers
s long as the lasers are properly calibrated, the lasers are self-
leveling. Each laser is calibrated at the factory to find level as
long as it is positioned on a flat surface within average ± 4° of
level. No manual adjustments must be made.

MAINTENANCE
♦ To maintain the accuracy of your work, check the laser often
to make sure it is properly calibrated. See Field Calibration
Check.
♦ Calibration checks and other maintenance repairs may be
performed by DeWALT service centers.
♦ When not in use, store the laser in the kit box provided. Do
not store your laser at temperatures below -5 ºF (-20 ºC) or
above 140 ºF (60 ºC).
♦ Do not store your laser in the kit box if the laser is wet. The
laser should be dried first with a soft dry cloth.
