Power; Installing Alkaline Batteries; Using Rechargeable Batteries - Agatec A510S Guía Rápida

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 for
15 hours before first using the laser.
1. Insert the charger plug into the jack located at the back of
the laser, under the wall mount.
2. Plug the charger into an electrical outlet (110 volts or 220 volts).

3.3 Later recharging
The laser can be charged when working, if electricity is avail-
able 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.
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 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 A510S
THIS CHAPTER IS VERY IMPORTANT. Here are a few simple
instructions to check your A510S 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
X'
(vertical), as indicated on
the top of the laser.
Each end of each axis
must be checked for
calibration. If needed,
Y'
the axis can be calibrat-
ed, carefully following the
instructions. You can also
take the laser to
a service center for
calibration.
