Assembly
Inserting/Replacing the Batteries
Using alkali-manganese or rechargeable batteries is recom-
mended for operation of the measuring tool.
To open the battery lid 10, press on the latch 9 and fold the
battery lid up. Insert the batteries/rechargeable batteries.
When inserting, pay attention to the correct polarity accord-
ing to the representation on the inside of the battery lid.
If the batteries (rechargeable or non-rechargeable) are run-
ning low, the laser beams will begin to flash. You may not be
able to change operating modes.
Always replace all batteries/rechargeable batteries at the
same time. Do not use different brands or types of batter-
ies/rechargeable batteries together.
Remove the batteries/rechargeable batteries from the
measuring tool when not using it for longer periods.
When storing for longer periods, the batteries/rechargea-
ble batteries can corrode and self-discharge.
Operation
Initial Operation
Protect the measuring tool against moisture and direct
sun light.
Do not subject the measuring tool to extreme temper-
atures 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. Damage to the measuring tool can impair its accura-
cy. After heavy impact or shock, compare the laser lines or
plumb beams with a known horizontal or vertical reference
line or with already checked plumb points.
Switch the measuring tool off during transport. When
switching off, the levelling unit, which can be damaged in
case of intense movement, is locked.
Switching On and Off
To switch on the measuring tool, push the On/Off switch 7 to
the “On” position. Immediately after switching on, the meas-
uring tool sends out the two laser lines 1.
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.
To switch off the measuring tool, slide the On/Off switch 7 to
the “Off” position. When switching off, the levelling unit is
locked.
Do not leave the switched-on measuring tool unattend-
ed and switch the measuring tool off after use. Other
persons could be blinded by the laser beam.
To save energy, only switch the measuring tool on when you
are using it.
Operating Modes (see figures A – E)
After switching on, the measuring tool is in cross-line operat-
ing mode with automatic levelling.
To change the operating mode, press the “Mode” button 6
until the requested operating mode is indicated by the corre-
sponding illuminated operating-mode indication 5.
The following operating modes are available:
Automatic Levelling
Working with Automatic Levelling (see figure F–G)
Position the measuring tool on a level and firm support, attach
it to the wall mount 14 or to a tripod 13.
Select one of the operating modes with automatic levelling.
After switching on, the levelling function automatically com-
pensates irregularities within the self-levelling range of ±4°.
The levelling is finished as soon as the laser lines or plumb
beams do not move any more. The indication 5 of the current
operating mode lights up green.
If the automatic levelling function is not possible, e.g. be-
cause the surface on which the measuring tool stands devi-
ates by more than 4 ° from the horizontal plane, the automatic
levelling indicator 4 lights up red and the laser is automatically
switched off. In this case, bring the measuring tool to the 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 operating-mode indication 5 lights up green and
the laser is switched on.
When not within the self-levelling range of ±4°, working with
automatic levelling is not possible, because it cannot be as-
sured that the laser lines run at a right angle to each other.
In case of ground vibrations or position changes during oper-
ation, the measuring tool is automatically levelled in again. To
avoid errors, check the position of the laser lines or plumb
beams with regard to the reference points upon re-levelling.
Indication Operating Mode
(green)
Cross-line operation with automatic level-
ling (see figure A): The measuring tool gener-
ates both a horizontal and a vertical laser line;
their levelling is monitored.
(green)
Horizontal operation with automatic level-
ling (see figure B): The measuring tool gener-
ates a horizontal laser line; its levelling is moni-
tored.
(green)
Vertical operation with automatic levelling
(see figure C): The measuring tool generates a
vertical laser line; its levelling is monitored.
(green)
Plumb beam with automatic levelling
(see figure D): The measuring tool generates
two plumb beams running vertically upward
and downward; their levelling is monitored.
(red/
green)
Cross-line operation without automatic lev-
elling (see figure E): The measuring tool gener-
ates two crossed laser lines that can be aligned
as requested, and must not run vertical to each
other.
