Using the Laser on a Tripod
1. Position the tripod securely and set it to the desired height.
2. Make sure that the top of the tripod is roughly level. the laser
will self-level only if the top of the tripod is within ± 5˚ of level. If
the laser is set up too far out of level, it will beep when it reach-
es the limit of its leveling range. No damage will be done to the
laser, but it will not operate in an "out of level" condition.
3. Secure the laser to the tripod by screwing the threaded knob on
the tripod into the female thread on the bottom of the laser.
NOTE: Be sure that the tripod you are working with has a 5/8"–11
threaded screw to ensure secure mounting.
4. Turn the laser on and adjust the rotation speed and controls as
desired.

Using the Laser on a Floor
The laser level can be positioned directly on the floor for leveling
and plumbing applications such as framing walls.
1. Place the laser on a relatively smooth and level surface where
it will not be disturbed.
2. Position the laser for a level or plumb setting as shown.
3. Turn the laser on and adjust the rotation speed and controls as
desired.
NOTE: The laser will be easier to set up for wall applications if the
rotation speed is set to 0 rpms and if the remote control is used to
line up the laser with control marks. The remote allows one person
to set up the laser.
Using the Laser with a Wall Mount
The DW077 Rotary Laser has been designed to work with an
accessory Wall Mount (DW0770). It can be used for attaching the
tool to track or celing angle (mould) and to aid in acoustical ceiling
installation. Follow the directions below for using the wall mount.
CAUTION: Before attaching the laser level to wall track or ceil-
ing angle, be sure that the track or angle is properly secured.
1. Attach the Laser to the accessory wall mount.
2. With the wall mount measuring scale (O) facing you, rotate the
wall mount clamp locking knob (P) towards you to open the
clamp jaws.

3. Position the clamp jaws around the wall track or ceiling angle
and as shown rotate the wall mount clamp locking knob away
from you to close the clamp jaws shut on the track. Be sure that
the wall mount clamp locking knob is securely locked before
proceding.
