Tool Use and Care
Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on or
•
off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
Store idle laser products out of the reach of children and
•
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the laser product
or these instructions to operate the laser product. Laser
products are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the
•
manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be
suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used with
another tool.

Operation
Operating Tips
•
To extend battery life per charge, turn the laser off when it is
not in use.
•
To ensure the accuracy of your work, check the laser
calibration often. Refer to Calibrating the Laser.
•
Before attempting to use the laser, make sure the tool is
positioned on a relatively smooth, secure surface.
•
Always mark the center of the laser line or dot. If you mark
different parts of the beam at different times you will
introduce error into your measurements.
•
To increase working distance and accuracy, set up the laser in
the middle of your working area.
•
When attaching to a tripod or wall, mount the laser securely.

, align the battery pack with
•
When working indoors, a slow rotary head speed will produce
a visibly brighter line, a faster rotary head speed will produce
a visibly solid line.
•
To increase beam visibility, wear Laser Enhancement Glass es
and/or use a Laser Target Card to help find the beam.
WARNING: These are not ANSI Z87.1 eye protection.
•
Extreme temperature changes can cause movement or
shifting of building structures, metal tripods, equipment,
etc., which can affect accuracy. Check your accuracy often
while working.
•
When working with the D
the laser's rotation speed to the fastest setting.
•
If the laser is dropped or has suffered a sharp blow, have the
calibration system checked by a qualified service center before
using the laser.

The direction/elevation adjustment buttons control the
rotational direction of the laser head as well as adjust the
elevation of the beam when the unit is in slope mode. These
buttons can also be used to incrementally rotate the beam
when the unit is in Scan mode.
The buttons on the DW074LR control panel, DW079LR/
DW079LG control panel, and the DW079LR/DW079LG Remote
keypad all work the same, unless otherwise indicated.
