Measuring Functions

Note: The specified levelling accuracy applies for the alignment of the
laser beam with reference to the spirit levels 5 and 6.
Positioning the Measuring Tool (see figure B)
For precise alignment with the spirit levels, the position of the measuring
tool is important.
The specified levelling accuracy is only achieved when the measuring tool
is correctly positioned:
– For horizontal alignment with the spirit level 6, the aluminium support-
ing surface 7 of the measuring tool must face downward.
– For vertical alignment with the spirit level 5, the exit opening for the
laser beam 8 must face upward.
Aligning with the Laser Line
Horizontal Alignment (see figures C–D): Position the measuring tool
with the three supporting points 11 against the wall or with help of the
magnets 13, fasten it to the wall holder 1 or to another magnetic surface.
The aluminium supporting surface 7 of the measuring tool must face
downward. Align the measuring tool horizontally with help of the spirit
level 6. Picture frames or tiles, as an example, can be aligned alongside
the horizontal laser line.
Vertical Alignment (see figure D): Position the measuring tool with the
three supporting points 11 against the wall or with help of the magnets
13, fasten it to the wall holder 1 or to another magnetic surface. The exit
opening for the laser beam 8 must face upward. Align the measuring tool
vertically with help of the spirit level 5. Top and bottom cabinets, as an ex-
ample, can be aligned alongside the vertical laser line.
Alignment off of Reference Points (see figure E): Position the measur-
ing tool with the three supporting points 11 against the wall or with help
of the magnets 13, fasten it to the wall holder 1 or to another magnetic
surface. Turn the measuring tool to any angle in order to align the laser
beam to the reference points. In this manner, as an example, picture
frames can be hung parallel to a stairway or ceiling pitch.
