2. How to use your A510S laser
2.1 Setup
The motorized wall mount and the metal head protection can
both be removed from the laser, if you wish to work without
these attachments.
• Horizontal
The laser can be mounted on a 5/8-11 tripod (10) or placed
directly on a solid, stable surface. It can also be suspended
from a ceiling grid using the wall mount (see later section).
• Vertical
The laser can be mounted on a 5/8-11 tripod (11) or placed
directly on its back (opposite the handle) on a solid, stable surface.
For more stability, we recommend you to extend the motorized
mount. Use the support plate for stability when in vertical mode.
The A510S has a wide self-leveling range; however, if the laser is
set up out of the leveling range, laser beam will continue to blink
and rotation will not start.
• Turning on the laser
Turn on the laser with the On /Off key (17). It does a self-test and
the beam blinks while the laser is self-leveling. After it's leveled, the
head rotates. You can choose H.I. Alert mode or change to manual
mode (see below).
