GENERAL INFORMATION

Thank you for buying the Agatec A710 laser! Although the A710 is
simple to use, we recommend that you read this manual before
operating the laser.

Description

The A710 is a visible universal laser that can be used for leveling,
vertical alignment, squaring, and single and dual slope grade control.

It has a digital grade display and is ideal for machine control and
other dual grade applications. It’s totally waterproof and has a beam
designed for pipelaying. It also has scanning and constant squaring
for interior jobs.

Other advanced features include: totally automatic self-leveling in
both horizontal and vertical modes; electronic calibration by the
user; and a detachable keypad that can be used as a remote control.

HOW TO USE THE A710

Setup

Horizontal

The laser can be used on a 5/8-11 tripod, on a wall mount, or
directly on a solid, stable surface.

Vertical

The laser can be placed directly on a solid, stable surface. If you
are using it in a pipe or other confined space, you can detach the
handle with a 3mm Allen wrench so it has a narrower profile.

Place the laser on the side with the two adjustable feet (9).
Rough level the laser by using the feet to center the bubble in
the vertical vial (7).

Setup range

When the keypad is turned on, an “H” for horizontal mode or a
“V” for vertical mode will appear on the display (26). The A710
has a wide self-leveling range; however, if the laser is set up out
of the leveling range, a triangle with an exclamation point will
appear on the display (25).

Turning on the laser

Turn on the laser with the On / Off key (8). It does a self-test
and the beam blinks while the laser is self-leveling. After it’s
leveled, the head rotates and keypad symbol (23) stops blinking.

Remote control / keypad

The keypad can remain attached to the laser, or it can be
detached and used as a remote control. Push up on the remote to
remove it from the laser.

The remote will automatically turn off if it is idle for a length of
time. Reactivate by pressing the On / Off key (13).

The display can be backlit; press key (12) to activate. A light
bulb symbol will appear on the display (28).

The remote is not waterproof. Detach it from the laser before
submersing laser in water.
