WARNING!

LEVELING FUNCTION

POSITION THE TOOL (Fig. 2)

NOTE: The specified leveling accuracy applies for the alignment

of the laser beam with spirit level for vertical alignment (3) or

spirit level for horizontal alignment (4).

Spirit levels contain flammable liquid that may cause respiratory

tract, eye and skin irritation.

For precise alignment with the spirit levels, the position of the

tool is important.

The specified leveling accuracy is only achieved when the tool

is correctly positioned:

For horizontal alignment with the spirit level for horizontal

alignment, the laser line aperture must be horizontal and the

aluminium base (2) of the measuring tool must face downward.

For vertical alignment with the spirit level for vertical alignment,

the laser line aperture must face upward and the aluminium

base must face sideward.

ALIGNMENT WITH LASER LINE

Attach the measuring tool to wall mount base (10), place it

against a wall via the three reference points (7) or stick it to a

magnetic surface with the magnets (8).

HORIZONTAL ALIGNMENT (Fig. 3-4)

The laser line aperture must be horizontal and the aluminum

base of the measuring tool must face downward. Horizontally

align the measuring tool with spirit level for horizontal alignment.

As an example, you can align picture frames or shelves

alongside the horizontal laser line.

VERTICAL ALIGNMENT (Fig. 4)

The laser line aperture outlet opening for must face upward and

the aluminium base of the measuring tool must face sideward.

Vertically align the measuring tool with spirit level. As an

example, you can align top and base cabinets alongside the

vertical laser line.

ALIGNMENT OFF OF REFERENCE POINTS (Fig. 5)

Turn the measuring tool to any required angle in order to align

the laser line alongside your reference points. As an example,

this can be used to hang picture frames parallel to stairs or to

the incline of a roof.

LEVELING HORIZONTAL/VERTICAL WITH SPRIT

LEVELS (Fig. 7)

ATTACHING/ALIGNING WITH WALL MOUNT BASE

Place the measuring tool on the wall mount base and horizontally

align it. As an example, you can use the laser point to align

socket outlets on different walls or hang up wardrobe hooks at

the same height. For this, turn the upper part of the wall mount

base with the measuring tool, and not the measuring tool only on

the wall holder.

When turning, pay attention not to touch the measuring tool,

otherwise its position could be changed.

Working with tripod (recommended): Align the laser beam to the

requested height. Project or check the height at the target

location.

Working without tripod: Determine the height difference between

the laser beam and the height art the reference point. Project or

check the measured height difference at the target location.

The measuring tool can also be used as a carpenter’s spirit level

for leveling vertical and horizontal, for example to align a washing

machine or a refrigerator. Position the measuring tool with the

aluminium base on the surface to be leveled. When placing on

horizontal surfaces, the aluminium base must face downward,

when placing against vertical surfaces, the laser line aperture

must face upward.

With the wall mount base (10), the measuring tool can be

attached to surfaces as follows:

Line operation: Place the wall mount base via its recess on the

backside onto a screw head slightly projecting out of a wall. Stick

the measuring tool with the magnets to the reference surface for

laser liner (11) of the wall mount base.

Turn the upper part of the wall holder to align the measuring tool

as required.

NOTE: Horizontal alignment with the laser line is only possible

on the surface, against which the measuring tool was placed.

Even when the measuring tool was aligned with the spirit level,

the laser line on a transverse wall does not necessarily run

horizontal, and is thus not suitable for leveling.

Do not subject the measuring tool to extreme temperatures

or variations in temperature. As an example, do not leave

it in vehicles for longer periods. In case of large variations in

temperature, 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. After severe exterior effects to the measuring tool, it is

recommended to carry out an accuracy check each time

before continuing to work.

To switch on the measuring tool in line operation, push the

On/Off switch (1) forward to laser aperture.

To switch on the measuring tool in point operation, push the

On/Off switch back to the end of the tool.

Immediately after switching on, a laser beam out from laser line

aperture (5), or laser point aperture (6), depending on the

selected operating mode.

To switch off the measuring tool, push the On/Off switch to the

center position.

Switch the measuring tool off during transport. When

switching off, the leveling unit, which can be damaged in case

of intense movement, is locked.

Do not point the laser beam at persons or animals and do

not look into the laser beam yourself, not even from a

large distance.

Do not leave the switched on tool unattended and switch

the tool off after use. Other persons could be blinded by

the laser beam.

If spirit level leaks, soak up with appropriate absorbent

material and dispose of safely.

NOTE: When not using the measuring tool, switch it off in order

to extend the battery life.

WORKING WITH TRIPOD (available separately)

This laser distance measure has been designed to be a

low-maintenance tool. However, in order to maintain its

performance, you must always follow these simple directions.

1. Always handle the tool with care. Treat it as an optical device,

such as a camera or binoculars.

2. Avoid exposing the tool to shock, continuous vibration or

extreme hot or cold temperature.

3. Always store the tool indoors. When not in use, ALWAYS store

the tool in its protective case.

4. Always Keep the tool free of dust and liquids. Use only a clean,

soft cloth for cleaning. If necessary, slightly moisten the cloths

with pure alcohol or a little water.

5. Do not touch the lens with your fingers.

6. Check the batteries regularly to avoid deterioration. ALWAYS

remove the batteries from the tool, if it is not going to be used

for an extended period of time.

7. Replace the batteries when the battery icon is continuously

empty displayed on the LCD.

8. Do not disassemble the laser measuring tool; this will expose

the user to hazardous radiation exposure.

9. Do not attempt to change any part of the laser lens.

The use of a tripod is particularly helpful for greater distances. The

measuring tool can be mounted on a commercially available tripod

using the 1/4” thread on the bottom side of the mounting base.

1. Mount the mounting base to the tripod.

2. Attach the measuring tool to the mounting base.

Point operation: Place the wall mount base via ¼’’ tripod mounting

hole (14) onto the 1/4” male thread of the tripod and screw the

locking screw of the tripod tight. Align the tripod roughly.

When working without tripod, place the wall mount base on a

surface that is as horizontal as possible. Position the measuring

tool with the aluminium base facing down on the wall mount base,

and stick it with the magnet to the reference surface for laser

pointer (12).

Horizontally align the upper part of the wall mount base with

adjusting screw (13) and spirit level for horizontal alignment of the

measuring tool. Turn the upper part of the wall mount base by 90`

and repeat the alignment.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

WORKING ADVICE

For marking, always use only the centre of the laser point or the

laser line. The size of the laser point as well as the width of the

laser line may vary on different working distance.
