Power switch.
The Power ON/OFF switch is located on the front of the tool as shown in figure 1 (A). When the switch (A) is in the OFF/LOCKED position, the
unit will remain off and the pendulum will be locked
When the on/off switch (A) is in the ON/UNLOCKED position, the unit will be powered ON, the pendulum will be released from the locked position and self level.
Out of Level Indicator
The DW08801 is equipped with an out of level indicator. When the tilt range (> 4° tilt) has been exceeded the laser beam will flash.
The flashing beam indicates that the tool IS NOT LEVEL (OR PLUMB) AND SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR DETERMINING OR MARKING LEVEL (OR PLUMB). Try repositioning
the laser on a more level surface.
Batteries & Power
Your laser tool requires 2 x AA batteries. (B)
Use only new, high-quality batteries for best results.
• Ensure batteries are in good working condition. If the low battery indicator light is flashing, the batteries need replacement.
• To extend battery life, turn laser off when not working with or marking the beam.
Set Up
LEVELING THE LASER
This tool is self-leveling. It is calibrated at the factory to find plumb as long as it is positioned on flat surface within 4° of level. As long as the tool is properly calibrated,
no manual adjustments must be made.
To ensure the accuracy of your work, check to make sure your laser is calibrated often. See Field Calibration Check.

The DW08801 is equipped with a locking pendulum mechanism. This feature is only activated when the laser is switched off.
USING THE LASER
The beams are level or plumb as long as the calibration has been checked (see Field Calibration Check) and the laser beam is not flashing (see Out of level Range
Indicator).
The tool can be used to transfer points using any combination of the five beams and/or horizontal line.

Field Calibration Check
CHECKING ACCURACY – HORIZONTAL BEAM, SCAN DIRECTION (FIG. 6)
Checking the horizontal scan calibration of the laser requires two walls 30’ (9m) apart. It is important to conduct a calibration check using a distance no shorter than
the distance of the applications for which the tool will be used.
1. Attach the laser to a wall using a pivot bracket. Make sure the laser is facing straight ahead.
2. Turn on the laser’s beams and pivot the laser approximately 45˚ so that the right-most end of the laser line is striking the opposing wall at a distance of at
least 30’ (9m). Mark the center of the beam (a).
3. Pivot the laser approximately 90˚ to bring the left-most end of the laser line around to the mark made in Step 2. Mark the center of the beam (b).
4. Measure the vertical distance between the marks.
5. If the measurement is greater than the values shown below, the laser must be serviced at an authorized service center.
Distance Between Walls Allowable Distance Between Marks
15' 1/32”
30' 1/16”
50' 1/4"
CHECKING ACCURACY – HORIZONTAL BEAM, PITCH DIRECTION (FIG. 7)
When checking the horizontal beam it is important to conduct a calibration check using a distance no shorter than the
distance of the applications for which the tool will be used.
1. Mount the laser on a tripod as close as possible to a wall at distance D1. (Wall #1)
2. Turn on the laser and project the horizontal beam onto the nearest wall. (Wall #1)
3. Mark the center of the beam at Point P1.
4. Rotate the laser 180° and mark the center of the beam on the opposing wall (Wall #2) at Point P2.
5. Reposition the laser close to the opposite wall (Wall #2) at distance D1.
6. Turn on the laser and project the horizontal beam onto Wall #2
7. Adjust the height of the laser so that the center of the beam is aligned with Point P2.
8. Rotate the laser 180° and mark the center of the beam on the opposing wall (Wall #1) at Point P3.
9. Measure the distance between thesepoints P1 and P3.
10. If the measurement is greater than the values shown below, the laser must be serviced at an authorized service center.
Distance Between Walls Measurement Between Marks
15' (4.5 m) 1/32”
30' (9 m) 1/16”
50' (15 m) 1/4"
