Push the port cover back over the laser's charging port.
Whenever the laser is not in use, slide the Power/Transport
Lock switch to the LEFT to the Locked/OFF position (Figure
) to save battery power.

Using the Mounting Block
On the bottom of the laser is a moveable block (Figure

extend the moveable block (Figure

• To mount the laser over a point on the floor (using a multi-
function bracket or a tripod), pull out the moveable block until
it clicks in place (Figure

Turning the Laser On
1.
Place the laser on a smooth, flat, level surface.
2.
Slide the Power/Transport Lock switch to the right to the
Unlocked/ON position (Figure

(above, ahead, and below the laser), and a second time to
display 2 additional dots to the right and left of the laser.
4.
Check the laser beams. The laser is designed to self-level.
If the laser is tilted so much that it cannot self-level (> 4°),
the laser beams will continually flash twice and
constantly on the keypad (Figure
5.
If the laser beams flash, the laser is not level (or plumb) and
should NOT BE USED for determining or marking level or
plumb. Try repositioning the laser on a level surface.

If ANY of the following statements are TRUE, continue with
the instructions for Checking Laser Accuracy BEFORE
USING THE LASER for a project.

laser was exposed to extreme temperatures).
• The laser has not been checked for accuracy in a while.
• The laser may have been dropped.

Checking Laser Accuracy
The laser tools are sealed and calibrated at the factory. It
is recommended that you perform an accuracy check prior
A
to using the laser for the first time (in case the laser was
exposed to extreme temperatures) and then regularly to ensure
the accuracy of your work. When performing any of the
accuracy checks listed in this manual, follow these guidelines:
• Use the largest area/distance possible, closest to the
) to
operating distance. The greater the area/distance, the easier
to measure the accuracy of the laser.
• Place the laser on a smooth, flat, stable surface that is level
in both directions.
• Mark the center of the laser beam.
Level Dot Accuracy - Level
Checking the level calibration of the laser unit requires two
parallel walls at least 20' (6 m) apart.
1.
Place the laser on a tripod and screw the threaded knob on
the tripod into the female thread on the laser.
2.
Turn the laser ON and press
above, ahead, below, and to the right and left of the laser.
3.
Place the laser 2"–3" (5–8 cm) from the first wall. To test the
front laser dot, make sure the front of the laser is facing the
wall (Figure
).
