Replacing the Batteries - Figure 1
Ensure laser on/off switch (C) is in the full off
position by moving switch actuator to center
position “O”. Remove the battery door (A).
Insert 2 fresh 1.5 volt AAA alkaline batteries
making sure to match (+) and (-) terminals
correctly as marked on inside of battery door.
Close battery door.
WARNING: Batteries can explode, or leak,
and can cause injury or fire.
To reduce this risk:
• Carefully follow all instructions and warnings
on the battery label and package.
• Always insert batteries correctly with regard
to polarity (+ and -), marked on the battery
and the equipment.
• Do not short battery terminals.
• Do not charge batteries.
• Remove dead batteries immediately and
dispose of per local codes.
• Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
• Keep batteries out of reach of children.
• Remove batteries if the device will not be used for several months.
“Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals inadvertently
come in contact with conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like.
The US Department of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) actually
prohibit transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes (i.e. packed in suitcases and
carryon luggage) UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits. So when
transporting individual batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and
well insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.”

Operating Instructions
The BDL100AV is a versatile tool which allows you to level and align shelves, pictures, large
appliances and more. It is designed to work on painted drywall vertical surfaces (semi-gloss,
satin, egg shell and matte). Also primed drywall, glass and most plastic and metal.
USING THE TEMPORARY WALL MOUNTING SUCTION CUP
• The laser level can be attached to a wall using either the temporary wall mounting suction
cup (G) or (in rare circumstances for nonsmooth surfaces) pin (I).
CAUTION: Temporary wall mounting
suction cup should only be used on smooth
impermeable surfaces such as painted
drywall vertical surfaces (semi-gloss, satin,
egg shell and matte), primed drywall, glass
and most plastic and metal.
• To use the temporary wall mounting suction
cup, place on wall in approximate location of
item to be leveled and push in on the suction
cup button (F).
• Release temporary wall mounting suction
cup button and check to make sure that the
wall attachment is firmly seated on the wall.
• NOTE: In the rare instance when the
temporary wall mounting suction cup is left
on the wall for an extended period of time,
any resulting marks can be removed with
warm soapy water and a damp cloth.
• Multilevel suction scale shown in figure 2a
provides information about vacuum inside
cup. When red color bar appears suction is
low. Press button again or unit will fall soon.

USING THE PIN (OPTIONAL)
CAUTION: Pin is sharp and should be
handled with care.
• Insert pin straight and seat firmly against
surface as shown in figure 4. The pin should
always be pushed in by hand and never
driven by a hammer.
• To remove pin from the wall, pull straight
out.
CAUTION: Always store pin as shown in
figure 5 when not in use.
ASER LEVEL FUNCTION
L
• Connect the laser level to the wall
attachment as shown in figure 6.
Wall attachment has a strong magnet (H) that
attracts to metal plates (K) located under the
label on both sides of the laser allowing for
easy up and down adjustment for about ¾ of
an inch (19 mm).
NOTE: Laser can be flipped to project a
horizontal laser line in either direction.

Helpful Hints
• The laser line is only level on the wall against which the unit is held or hung. The short line
visible on any adjacent wall is not level. The same is true for straight line projection on a
floor or wall, the short line on any adjacent wall is not level.
• The laser unit only generates a level line when held or hung against a vertical surface.
• Make sure laser is as square as possible to flat surface to ensure proper line projection.

S
Always store the laser level indoors.
Maintenance
Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liquid get inside the tool;
