Installing Alkaline Batteries; Using Rechargeable Batteries - Agatec A510S Manual De Operación

2.9.3 Inclined plane
The laser can also be tilted, for manual slope, at various angles
on the wall mount. A tripod with rotating mounting plate will
speed setup.
1. Set the laser in vertical mode, preferably on a tripod. If set-
ting on the ground, flip down the support plate for stability.
2. After the laser has self-leveled, set in manual or semi-auto-
matic mode.
3. Loosen the knobs on either side (1) to partially separate the
mount from the laser.
4. Move the laser to the approximate inclined position and
tighten slightly.
5. Move to the final position and tighten further.
3. Power
When battery power is low, the laser head will stop rotating and
the low battery LED next to the On/Off key will stay on (20).

3.1 Installing alkaline batteries

1. To access the battery compartment, loosen the knobs con-
necting the laser to the wall mount.
2. Use a coin or a screwdriver to remove the cover of the bat-
tery compartment at the back of the laser.
3. Insert two alkaline batteries (D size or LR20), following the
polarities indicated at the bottom of the battery compartment.
(The + contact is rounded and raised). When replacing the bat-
teries, change both at the same time.
4. Replace the compartment and tighten with a coin or screwdriver.

3.2 Using rechargeable batteries

If your laser has a rechargeable battery, you must charge it
before first using the laser. Only use the charger included with
your laser. The chargers for the two models, A510S and
A510G, are not interchangeable.
1. Insert the charger plug into the jack located at the back of
the laser, under the wall mount.
2. For the A510S: Plug the charger into a 110V or 220V AC
outlet. Charging time is 15 hours.
14
For the A510G, which has a universal charger: Select the correct
power plug adapter for your country, attach to the charger, and
plug it into a 110V or 220V AC outlet. Charging time is 8 hours.
3.3 Later recharging
The laser can be charged when working, if electricity is available
on the jobsite. Simply plug in the charger and keep on working.
You can also remove the battery pack to charge it, and replace it
with the alkaline battery compartment to keep on working.
The A510S has a NiCd rechargeable battery. For optimum life of
the battery, it is recommended to charge the battery after fully
discharged. To assure battery life, do not charge over 20 hours.
The A510G has a NiMH rechargeable battery, with an electronic
control to prevent overcharging.
The battery and the charger can be damaged if damp. Always
store and charge your laser in a dry and covered place.
4. Checking and adjusting your A510
THIS CHAPTER IS VERY IMPORTANT. Here are a few simple
instructions to check your A510 for calibration. Remember that
the laser is a precision instrument and that it is important that
you keep it calibrated and in proper condition.
The accuracy of your work is completely your responsibility and
you should check your instrument before beginning each job,
and especially after the instrument has taken a sharp jolt or
been dropped, or when temperature changes greater than 50
degrees F (28 degrees C) have occurred.
The laser has 3 axes: X and Y
(horizontal) and Z (vertical),
as indicated on the top of the laser.
Each end of each axis must be
checked for calibration. If needed,
the axis can be calibrated,
carefully following the instructions.
You can also take the laser to
a service center for calibration.
