Working with the Tripod (Accessory)
A tripod offers a stable, height-adjustable measuring support. Place the meas-
uring tool via the tripod mount 3 onto the 1/4" male thread of the tripod and
screw the locking screw of the tripod tight.
Adjust the tripod roughly before switching on the measuring tool.
Working with the Laser Target Plate
Using the laser target plate 13, it is possible to transmit the laser marking onto
the floor or the laser height onto a wall.
With the zero field and the scale, the offset or drop to the required height can
be measured and projected at another location. This eliminates the necessity
of precisely adjusting the measuring tool to the height to be projected.
Laser Viewing Glasses (Accessory)
The laser viewing glasses filter out the ambient light. This makes the red light
of the laser appear brighter for the eyes.
Do not use the laser viewing glasses as safety goggles. The laser
viewing glasses are used for improved visualisation of the laser beam, but
they do not protect against laser radiation.
Do not use the laser viewing glasses as sun glasses or in traffic. The
laser viewing glasses do not afford complete UV protection and reduce col-
our perception.

Work Examples

General Information
Always position the measuring tool close to the surface or edge subject to
checking, and allow it to level in prior to each measurement.
Always measure the distances between the laser beam and a surface or edge
at two points as far as possible away from each other.
Projecting Plumb Points to the Ceiling (see figure C)
Direct the bottom plumb beam onto the plumb point subject to projecting. Mark
the upper plumb beam on the ceiling. In the same manner, points from the ceil-
ing can be projected onto the floor.
Checking Plumb and Horizontal Lines (see figure D)
At two points, measure the distance between a plumb beam and the surface to
be checked. When both distances are equal, the surface is vertical.
For checking horizontal lines, check the distance between a horizontal point
beam and the surface to be checked in the same manner.
Indicating and Checking Right Angles (see figures E–F)
For checking the right angle in the vertical plane, use a plumb beam to check if
surface A is vertical, and a horizontal point beam to check if surface B is hori-
zontal.
