Push the port cover back over the laser's charging port.
Whenever the laser is not in use, slide the Power/Transport
Lock switch to the LEFT to the Locked/OFF position (Figure
) to save battery power.

Using the Mounting Block
On the bottom of the laser is a moveable block (Figure
• To use the magnets on the front of the laser (Figure
) to mount the laser against the side of a steel beam, do
not extend the moveable block (Figure
allow the down dot to be aligned with the edge of the steel
beam.
• To mount the laser over a point on the floor (using a multi-
function bracket or a tripod), pull out the moveable block
until it clicks in place (Figure

Turning the Laser On
1.
Place the laser on a smooth, flat, level surface.

laser line, a third time to display a horizontal line and
a vertical line, a fourth time to display 5 dots, and a fifth
time to display the horizontal and vertical lines with the 5
dots.
4.
Check the laser beams. The laser is designed to self-level.
If the laser is tilted so much that it cannot self-level (> 4°),
the laser beams will continually flash twice and
constantly on the keypad (Figure

If the laser beams flash, the laser is not level (or plumb)
and should NOT BE USED for determining or marking level
or plumb. Try repositioning the laser on a level surface.

If ANY of the following statements are TRUE, continue with
the instructions for Checking Laser Accuracy BEFORE
USING THE LASER for a project.
A
• This is the first time you are using the laser (in case
the laser was exposed to extreme temperatures).
• The laser has not been checked for accuracy in
a while.
• The laser may have been dropped.
Checking Laser Accuracy
The laser tools are sealed and calibrated at the factory. It
is recommended that you perform an accuracy check prior
to using the laser for the first time (in case the laser was
exposed to extreme temperatures) and then regularly to
ensure the accuracy of your work. When performing any of the
accuracy checks listed in this manual, follow these guidelines:
• Use the largest area/distance possible, closest to the
operating distance. The greater the area/distance, the easier
to measure the accuracy of the laser.
• Place the laser on a smooth, flat, stable surface that is level
in both directions.
• Mark the center of the laser beam.
Horizontal Line Accuracy - Level
Checking the level of the laser's horizontal line requires a flat
vertical surface at least 30' (9 m) wide.
1.
Place a tripod at one end of the wall (Figure
2.
Place the laser on a tripod and screw the threaded knob on
the tripod into the female thread on the laser.
3.
Slide the laser's Power/Transport Lock switch to the right to
turn the laser ON (Figure

Press
once to display a horizontal line.
3.
Mark two points (P1 and P2) at least 30' (9 m) apart along
the length of the laser's horizontal line on the wall.
4.
Relocate the laser at the other end of the wall and align the
laser's horizontal line with point P2 (Figure
5.
Mark point P3 on the laser line near point P1.

Measure the vertical distance between points P1 and P3.
