Working Advice
- Only the centre of the laser point or laser line must be used for marking. The size of the laser point/the width of the laser line changes depending on the distance.
The laser target plate (41) improves visibility of the laser beam in unfavourable conditions and at greater distances.
The reflective surface of the laser target plate (41) improves visibility of the laser line. The transparent surface enables the laser line to be seen from behind the laser target plate.
A tripod offers a stable, height-adjustable support surface for measuring. Place the measuring tool with the 5/8" tripod mount (15) on the thread of the tripod (32). Tighten the measuring tool using the locking screw of the tripod.
On a tripod featuring a measuring scale on its extender, you can set the height deviation straight away.
Roughly align the tripod before switching on the measuring tool.
You can also mount the measuring tool on the wall mount with the alignment unit (36). For this, screw the 5/8" screw (38) of the wall mount into the tripod mount (15) of the measuring tool.
Mounting on a wall: Wall-mounting is advisable, for example for work performed above the maximum extension height of tripods, or for work on unstable surfaces and without tripods.
Fasten the wall mount (36) either to a wall using screws through the fixing holes (34) or to a strip of wall using the fastening screw (33). Fit the wall mount as perpendicular as possible to the wall and ensure it is mounted in a stable way.
Mounting on a tripod: You can also screw the wall mount (36) on to a tripod (35) using the tripod mount on the back. This type of mount is particularly suited to work where the rotation level is supposed to be aligned to a reference line.
You can use the alignment unit to slide the measuring tool vertically (if mounted on the wall) or horizontally (if mounted on a tripod) up to approx. 16 cm. To do this, loosen the bolt (37) on the alignment unit, slide the measuring tool into the required position, and retighten the bolt (37).
Use the laser receiver (30) to improve detection of the laser lines in adverse lighting conditions (bright environment, direct sunlight) and over greater distances.
For rotary lasers with multiple operating modes, select the horizontal or vertical operation with the highest rotational speed.
Before working with the laser receiver, read and observe the laser receiver operating instructions.
When pressing the operating controls, it is possible to bring the measuring tool out of its level position, so that the rotation is briefly interrupted. This effect is avoided when using the remote control.
Sensors (7) for the remote control are located on three sides of the measuring tool, including above the control panel on the front.
To check levels or apply slopes, it is recommended to use the measuring rod (31) together with the laser receiver.
A relative measuring scale is incorporated at the top of the measuring rod (31). You can preselect its zero at the bottom on the extender. This enables you to read deviations from the target height straight away.
The laser goggles filter out ambient light. This makes the light of the laser appear brighter to the eye.
- Do not use the laser goggles (accessory) as protective goggles. The laser goggles make the laser beam easier to see; they do not protect you against laser radiation.
- Do not use the laser goggles (accessory) as sunglasses or while driving. The laser goggles do not provide full UV protection and impair your ability to see colours.
