Maintenance / Service - Skil F0150516 Serie Manual Original

- press button C repeatedly until the desired mode is
set
1) Cross-line mode: the measuring tool generates
a horizontal and a vertical laser line out of the
front laser beam exit opening as well as a vertical
laser line out of laser beam exit opening D on the
side; both vertical laser lines run at a 90° angle to
each other 7
2) Horizontal mode: the measuring tool generates
a horizontal laser line out of the front laser beam
exit opening D 8
3) Vertical mode: the measuring tool generates a
vertical laser line out of the front laser beam exit
opening D 9
• Working with automatic levelling
- position the measuring tool on a level, firm support
or attach it to tripod H
- slide switch F to position 5 (indicator E lights up
green)
- if automatic levelling is not possible, e.g. because
the surface on which the measuring tool is standing
deviates by more than 4° from the horizontal plane,
indicator E lights up red, the laser lines flash and an
audio signal sounds
- do not hold the measuring tool close to your
ear (the loud audio signal can cause hearing
defects)
- if this is the case, set up the measuring tool in a level
position and wait for the self-levelling to take place
- as soon as the measuring tool is within the
self-levelling range of ±4° again, the laser lines light
up continuously, indicator E lights up green and the
audio signal is switched off
- when not within the self-levelling range of ±4°,
working with automatic levelling is not possible,
because it cannot be assured that the laser lines run
at a right angle to each other
- in case of ground vibrations or position changes
during operation, the measuring tool is automatically
levelled in again
- to avoid errors, check the position of the horizontal
and vertical laser line with regard to the reference
points upon re-levelling
• Working without automatic levelling
- slide switch F in position 6 (indicator E lights up
red)
- when automatic levelling is switched off, you can
hold the measuring tool freely in your hand or place
it on an inclined surface
- the laser lines no longer necessarily run vertical to
each other
APPLICATION ADVICE
• Always use the centre of the laser line for marking
(the width of the laser line changes with the distance)
• Laser viewing glasses 1 (not standard included)
- laser viewing glasses G 1 filter out the ambient light
- this makes the red light of the laser appear brighter
for the eyes
- do not use the laser viewing glasses as safety
goggles (the laser viewing glasses are used for
improved visualisation of the laser beam, but they
do not protect against laser radiation)
- do not use the laser viewing glasses as sun
glasses or in traffic (the laser viewing glasses do
not afford complete UV protection and reduce
colour perception)
• Working with the tripod (not standard included)
- tripod H 1 offers a stable, height-adjustable
measuring support
- place the measuring tool via tripod mount J onto the
1/4" male thread of the tripod and screw the locking
screw of the tripod tight

MAINTENANCE / SERVICE

• This tool is not intended for professional use
• Protect the measuring tool against moisture and
direct sun light
• Do not subject the measuring tool to extreme
temperatures or variations in temperature (the
accuracy of the measuring tool can be impaired)
- as an example, do not leave it in vehicles for long time
- allow the measuring tool to adjust to the ambient
temperature before putting it into operation
• Avoid heavy impact to or falling down of the
measuring tool
- damage to the measuring tool can impair its
accuracy
- after heavy impact or shock, compare the laser lines
with a known horizontal or vertical reference line
• Push switch F 1 into locking position 6 when
transporting the measuring tool (this locks the
levelling unit, which can be damaged in case of intense
movement)
• Keep the measuring tool clean at all times
• Do not immerse the measuring tool in water or other
fluids
• Wipe off debris using a moist and soft cloth
• Do not use any cleaning agents or solvents
• Regularly clean the surfaces at the exit opening of the
laser in particular, and pay attention to any fluff of fibres
• If the tool should fail despite the care taken in
manufacturing and testing procedures, repair should
be carried out by an after-sales service centre for SKIL
power tools
- send the tool undismantled together with proof of
purchase to your dealer or the nearest SKIL service
station (addresses as well as the service diagram of
the tool are listed on www.skil.com)
ENVIRONMENT
• Do not dispose of electric tools, batteries,
accessories and packaging together with
household waste material (only for EU countries)
- in observance of European Directive 2012/19/EC on
waste of electric and electronic equipment and its
implementation in accordance with national law,
electric tools that have reached the end of their life
must be collected separately and returned to an
environmentally compatible recycling facility
- symbol 4 will remind you of this when the need for
disposing occurs
