Working with the leveling plate
(see figures D–E)
Using the leveling plate 10 you can position
the tool flat on an uneven or unstable floor.
The leveling plate 10 can also be used as a
wall bracket for the tool. Fix the leveling plate
(securing it against slipping) on a wall or an
inclined surface using e.g. standard screws.
Use a level to fix the leveling plate flat on
the surface.
Positioning of the tool on the leveling
plate: Position the tool with the magnets 4
on the underside on the leveling plate 10.
The line grid on the upper side of the leveling
plate facilitates the precise positioning of the
tool. In order to mark 90° or 45° angles,
position the leveling plate at a reference
edge or a projection on a wall and position
the tool as illustrated on the upper side of the
leveling plate.
Working with the laser target plate/ceiling
measurement plate
(see figure A)
The laser target plate 9 or the ceiling
measurement plate 14 improves the visibility
of the laser beam under unfavorable
conditions and at longer distances.
The reflective part of the laser target plate 9
improves the visibility of the laser line.
Thanks to the transparent part, the laser line
is also visible from the back side of the laser
target plate.
The ceiling measurement plate 14
(accessory) can also be used for marking the
laser lines. Like the laser target plate, it has a
reflective and a transparent part.
Laser Viewing Glasses
(Optional 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 visualization 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 color perception.

Work Examples
Checking right angles
(see figure A)
Position the tool in one corner of the room
and position it so that the 0° laser line runs
parallel to the reference line (e.g. wall).
Measure the distance between the laser line
and the reference line directly at the tool and
at the longest possible distance from the
tool. Align the tool so that both distances
are identical.
Then measure at at least two different points
the distances between the 90° laser line and
the wall. If the distances to the 90° laser line
are identical, the walls are at the right angle.
Laying of square tiles
(see figure B)
Position the tool in one corner so that the 0°
laser line runs parallel to one wall. Lay the
first square tile at the crossing point of the 0°
and the 90° laser lines.
Laying with diagonal pattern
(see figure C)
Position the tool so that the 45° laser line
marks the diagonal tile joint.
Tile laying in kitchenettes
(see figure D)
Firstly determine the height at which the first
tile row begins. Fix the tool with the leveling
plate 10 vertically on the wall so that the 90°
laser line marks the lower edge of the first
tile row.
Laying from edges
(see figure E)
Position the tool on the leveling plate 10 at
the edge so that a lateral cut-out 11 of the
leveling plate is directly at the edge. The 0°
laser line should run parallel to one edge.
The 90° laser line now marks the lower
tile row.
