level and stable.

• A tripod, a pole or any other tool, onto which this Cross-Level Laser is

mounted should be able to support the tool’s weight safely.

• When using a tripod, the legs should be placed on a hard/solid surface to

prevent shifting or sinking. Make sure to extend and lock all legs, and

secure the tool to the mounting hardware. DO NOT over-tighten

the mounting screw.

• DO NOT USE IF DAMAGED.

5. OPERATION

Out of the box, the very ﬁrst thing you must do is verify calibration of the tool.

A laser level that is not calibrated and level itself is of no use. Thereafter, to

safeguard your investment and work, you should always verify the calibration,

as outlined below:

CAUTION! ANYTIME the tool is to be moved, MAKE SURE that the pendulum

is in its LOCKED position.

CAUTION! When moving the tool from a warm environment into a cool

environment, moisture may accumulate on the reﬂective glasses. Allow the tool to

stabilize to the new environment ﬁrst. DO NOT turn on a wet or damp tool. To wipe

the Laser Reﬂector, use ONLY a lint-free cloth. DO NOT USE A PAPER TOWEL.

Before replacing the batteries, make sure that the Pendulum is in the LOCKED

position, and the power is turned off.

To open the battery cover, push the battery compartment

latch 6 and lift the cover slightly. Pull the lid away from

the compartment until the two securing pins on the lid are

clear of the case. The positive pole of all three batteries

should face the same direction, towards the topside of the

compartment (see + markings in the compartment). Insert

the ﬁrst battery in the center, well above the removal band. Next, fold the band over

the battery and insert the remaining two batteries. While holding the end of the

band down, insert the lid-alignment pins into the compartment edge and close the

lid. Make sure the latch snaps in place, indicating that the lid is secured.

DANGER

LASER IN OPERATION

TRAINED

PERSONNEL ONLY

Position and secure the Cross Level Laser on a leveled tripod, pedestal or the

Dovetail Slide Mount 8 . (DO NOT overtighten the mounting screw).

WARNING! Do not position the tool at eye level.

With the Pendulum Switch 2 in the Locked position, Push the ON button to

activate the laser. Adjust the height of the tool to the vicinity of your required

height. Slide the Pendulum-lock Switch 2 towards the front of the tool. The

laser beam will be activated and may ﬂuctuate at ﬁrst. Allow time for the self-

leveling system to stabilize within its self-leveling range of ±3.5° degrees.

When the laser beam stops ﬂuctuating, the system is ready for use.

Should the laser beam keep ﬂuctuating, it is an indication that the tool is tilted

beyond its self-leveling limits. It may also be an indication of low battery power.

PLEASE NOTE: Green Laser expands as the distance between the tool and the

target increases. Therefore, always take measurements in the center of the beam.

Before and during work intervals, wipe the laser lens with a lint-free cloth. Dirt on

the reﬂector surface may cause laser deﬂection and cause false readings.

IMPORTANT REMINDER! At the beginning of each job, mark an index

point. All future measurements will be based on that index point.

CALIBRATION PROCEDURES:

First step to verify LEVEL (Horizontal) laser beam calibration

To verify the calibration, use a large room (at least 12 x 16 ft.).

1. At the long end of the room, place the Laser Level one foot from side wall

“A” and 8 feet from the facing wall. Slide the Pendulum Switch 2 to the

UNLOCK position. Allow a few seconds for the pendulum to stabilize.

2. Cut four strips of painter’s blue tape or masking tape each piece about

two-inches long. Adhere the tape strips onto the walls over the laser

beam at locations A, B, C and D.

3. Using a ruler, scribe a line at the center of the laser beam on each piece of tape.

Scribe lines underneath the laser beam on the remaining three strips of tape.

4. Slide the Pendulum Switch 2 to the LOCK position. Relocate the tool

across the room and position it one foot from the wall at position “D”

at same distance from the front wall as in the previous step. Slide the

Pendulum Switch 2 to the UNLOCK position and wait until the beam

stabilizes. Adjust the height of the tool tool the laser beam is centered

on the pre-prescribed line at position “D”.

5. Inspect the laser beam impression on all four strips of tape. Scribe a line at

beam center and beam underside on all each piece of tape. If the

distance-variation between the two lines is less than the speciﬁed accuracy

of ± 5/16 in @ 30 ft (7.95 mm at 9.14 m), the tool is within the required

calibration speciﬁcations and is ready for use. NOTE: ± 5/16 in @ 30 ft

(7.95 mm at 9.14 m) the level laser beam is calibrated.

6. For slope alignment, the pendulum should be in the LOCKED position.

Press the ON/OFF 5 switch to activate the laser beam. You can safely tilt

the tool. Please note that in the LOCKED position, the laser beam will

ﬂash once every 5 seconds.

Second step is to verify the PLUMP (Vertical) laser beam calibration

An 8 ft clear ﬂoor space is required for this procedure.

A door jamb is ideal for this leg of the procedures. It eliminates the requirement

of accessing the ceiling for calibration veriﬁcation, and the use of a ladder.

However, if a ladder is to be used, please refer to the ladder manufacturer’s

instructions for its use, safety and precautions. When using door jamb for this leg

of the operation, identify a plump spot on the ﬂoor and mark it with a painter’s

tape for future reference.

1. Place the Laser Level on the ﬂoor and push the Power Buttom 5

(Pendulum stays in LOCKED position for now). Make sure to see a solid

laser line on the ﬂoor. If the ﬂoor surface is reﬂective, laser beam may not

easily be seen. In this case, adhere a 6 ft long painter’s blue tape on

the ﬂoor, in front of the beam.

2. Slide the Pendulum Switch 2 to the UNLOCK position and allow time for

the beam to stabilize. Use a marker and draw a 1 in long line in the center

of the beam in front of the tool.

3. Walk to the other side and draw a 1 in long line at the center of the laser

beam at the other end of the tape.

4. Cut a 2 in long strip of painter’s blue tape. Draw a solid 1 in long line at the

center of the tape strip. Place this tape strip over the laser beam on top of

the door jamb or the ceiling. The drawn line should coincide with the center

of the laser beam.

5. Slide the Pendulum Switch 2 to the LOCK position.

6. Relocate the tool to the opposite side and place it at the adge of the

Painter’s blue tape. Slide the Pendulum Switch 2 to the UNLOCK position

and allow time for the beam to stabilize.

7. Align the beam with the two pre-scribed lines on the tapes. Inspect the

beam position and the scribed line on the overhead tape. Measure the

distance between the scribed line and current beam (center of the beam)

and if the deviation is withing the tolerances, the Plumb (vertical) laser is

also within the calibration limits.

8. The tool is ready for use.

Before and after each use, thoroughly inspect the tool for any damage.

IMPORTANT! DO NOT use a damaged tool.

After completion of each work cycle, or at the end of the day, slide the

Pendulum Switch 2 to its LOCKED position.

If the tool is soiled, wipe with a damp cloth. DO NOT USE CHEMICALS. Laser

reﬂectors should be wiped with a lint-free cloth only. DO NOT USE PAPER TOWEL.

• DO NOT allow the tool to the tool get wet. Damage to internal circuits

may result.

• DO NOT allow this tool to get wet. This tool is not waterproof.

• DO NOT leave tool in direct sunlight or expose it to high temperatures.

The housing and some internal parts are polymeric materials and may

become deformed at high temperatures.

• DO NOT store the tool in a cold environment. Moisture may form on

interior parts when warming up. This moisture could fog up laser

windows and/or cause corrosion of internal circuit boards.

NOTE: When working in dusty locations, some dirt may collect on the laser

window. Remove moisture or dirt with a soft, dry cloth. DO NOT use paper towel.

• DO NOT use aggressive cleaning agents or solvents.
