Practical Advice

Only the centre of the laser point or laser line must be
u
used for marking. The size of the laser point/the width of
the laser line changes depending on the distance.
Working with the Tripod (Accessory)
A tripod offers a stable, height-adjustable support surface
for measuring. Place the measuring tool with the 1/4" tripod
mount (9) on the thread of the tripod (22) or a conventional
camera tripod. Use the 5/8" tripod mount (10) to secure the
measuring tool on a conventional building tripod. Tighten the
measuring tool using the locking screw of the tripod.
Roughly align the tripod before switching on the measuring
tool.
Securing with the universal holder (accessory) (see
figure G)
Using the universal holder (18), you can secure the measur-
ing tool on vertical surfaces, pipes or magnetizable materi-
als, for example. The universal holder is also suitable for use
as a building tripod and facilitates height adjustment of the
measuring tool.
Roughly align the universal holder (18) before switching on
the measuring tool.
Working with the Laser Target Plate (see figure G)
The laser target plate (19) improves visibility of the laser
beam in unfavourable conditions and at greater distances.
The reflective half of the laser target plate (19) improves vis-
ibility of the laser line. The transparent half enables the laser
line to be seen from behind the laser target plate.
Laser Viewing Glasses (Accessory)
The laser viewing glasses filter out ambient light. This makes
the light of the laser appear brighter to the eye.
Do not use the laser goggles as protective goggles.
u
The laser goggles make the laser beam easier to see; they
do not protect you against laser radiation.
Do not use the laser goggles as sunglasses or while
u
driving. The laser goggles do not provide full UV protec-
tion and impair your ability to see colours.
Example Applications (see figures B2–F2,G and H)
Examples of possible applications for the measuring tool can
be found on the graphics pages.
Always place the measuring tool close to the surface or edge
that needs to be checked, and allow it to level in before the
beginning of any measurement.
Always measure the distances between the laser beam and a
surface or edge at two points that are as far from each other
as possible.

Maintenance and Servicing

Maintenance and Cleaning

Keep the measuring tool clean at all times.
Never immerse the measuring tool in water or other liquids.
Bosch Power Tools
Wipe off any dirt using a damp, soft cloth. Do not use any de-
tergents or solvents.
The areas around the outlet aperture of the laser in particular
should be cleaned on a regular basis. Make sure to check for
lint when doing this.
