SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Safety Instructions

• Do not operate the laser in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.

• Use the laser only with the specifically designated batteries. Use of any other batteries may create a risk of fire.

• Store idle laser out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Lasers are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

• Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one laser, may create a risk of injury when used on another laser.

• Do not use optical tools such as a telescope or transit to view the laser beam. Serious eye injury could result.

• Do not place the laser in a position which may cause anyone to intentionally or unintentionally stare into the laser beam. Serious eye injury could result

•Turn the laser off when it is not in use. Leaving the laser on increases the risk of staring into the laser beam.

• Repairs and servicing MUST be performed by a qualified repair facility. Repairs performed by unqualified personnel could result in serious injury.

• WARNING: DO NOT DISASSEMBLE THE LASER. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Disassembling the Laser will void all warranties on the product. Do not modify the product in any way. Modifying the tool may result in Hazardous Laser Radiation Exposure.

• Do not operate the laser around children or allow children to operate the laser. Serious eye injury may result.

• Do not remove or deface warning labels. Removing labels increases the risk of exposure to radiation.

• Position the laser securely. Damage to the laser or serious injury could result if the laser falls.

• CAUTION: Occasionally , pipes and electrical wiring may not be detected by this product. The sensor will not detect hot wires inside metal pipe or metal conduit, behind metallic wall covering, or behind some plywood or other dense materials.

• CAUTION: Material thickness, type of material, moisture content, and other variables can effect sensing results. The sensor may detect electric wiring or pipes in the same manner that studs are detected depending on their location to the wall surface. Use caution when drilling, nailing or cutting into walls, floors and ceilings which may contain electrical wiring or pipes. These items may be detected by the sensor in the same manner in which studs are detected. Because studs are normally spaced 16 inches (406 mm) or 24 inches (610 mm) apart and are usually 1-1/2 inches (38 mm) wide, beware of anything closer together or of a different width. Always turn off the power when working near

electrical wires.

• CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified in this manual may result in hazardous laser radiation exposure.

• This product is intended for use in a temperature range of 41°F(5°C) - 104°F(40°C).

Installing the Battery

Ensure laser on/off switch is in the full off position. Remove the battery compartment cover (11) by pressing down in on the center of the cover as shown in Figure 2 and pulling back. Insert a fresh 9 volt battery making sure to match (+) and (-) terminals correctly. Replace the battery compartment cover.

Operating Instructions

Scanning

Sensing elements for all modes of use are located in the lower part of the unit.

Stud Mode

For stud sensing through up to 3/4 inch (19mm) thick drywall.

1.) Move slide switch (6) to STUD position (5). Hold unit straight up and down and place flat against wall as shown in Figure 3. Press in on the detector button (2) and continue holding in button.

2.)The bottom red LED (8) will light and the unit will beep once while it is calibrating.

3.) Slide unit slowly, Figure 4, horizontally across surface of wall without lifting or tilting. When the first red LED lights, slow down and keep sliding until the top green LED (9) is lit and beep sounds as shown in Figure 5. This is the stud edge. Mark this spot (at arrow on lower part of unit).

4.) Keep moving past mark until lights go out. Continue holding button and reverse direction. Mark other stud edge. Center of stud is between two marks.

Metal Mode

For metal (iron, etc.) sensing up to 2 inches (51mm) thick drywall. For metal (copper, etc.) sensing up to 1 inch (25mm) thick drywall.

1.) Move slide switch (6) to METALposition (4).

2.) Hold unit in air away from metal objects. Press in on detector button (2) and continue holding in button. The bottom red LED (8) will light and the unit will beep once while it is calibrating.

3.) Without releasing the button, hold unit straight up and down and place flat against wall as shown in Figure 3.

4.) Slide unit slowly, Figure 4, horizontally across surface of wall without lifting or tilting. When the first red LED lights, slow down and keep sliding until the top green LED (9) is lit and beep sounds as shown in Figure 5. This is the edge of the metal object. Mark this spot (at arrow on lower part of unit).

5.) Keep moving past mark until lights go out. Continue holding button and reverse direction. Mark other edge of metal object. Center of metal object is between two marks.

Note: Because metal pipes or objects can be oriented both vertically and horizontally behind a wall, you should scan both vertically and horizontally as shown in Figure 6.

AC Detection Mode

The sensor detects AC voltage and will identify only live wires. AC voltage detection feature works continuously in all modes. It assists in identifying when the sensor is near live AC wiring and detector button (2) is depressed. Once AC voltage has been detected AC wire indicator LED (7) will light. If the unit is calibrated close to AC wire, it may decrease AC wiring sensor sensitivity . Static charge may spread detection 12 inch (30.4cm) on both sides of wire.

WARNING:Occasionally, pipes and electrical wiring may not be detected by this product. Observe caution when cutting or drilling into areas that may contain concealed pipes or wiring. The sensor will not detect live wires inside metal pipe or metal conduit, behind metallic wall covering, or behind some plywood or other dense materials. Use caution if area has plywood, thick wood backing behind drywall, or thicker than normal walls.

WARNING: Always turn off the power when working near electrical wires, electric

shock may result.

Laser

Place unit flat against wall as shown in Figure 3. Push up on the laser on/off button (3) to activate the self-leveling laser lines. To hang the unit on the wall, push pin (14) through marking insert into drywall as shown in Figure 7. When pressing pin into drywall, make sure it is straight and seated firmly in the marking insert and that the unit is secure on the wall.

CAUTION: Pin is sharp and should be handled with care. NOTE: The drywall pin can only be used with the marking insert (1), and is only for drywall, NOT other surfaces including plaster. For surfaces other than drywall, the (key hole) hanging insert (12) can be used with a standard screw or nail in a predrilled hole. Make sure it is straight and seated firmly in the insert and that the unit is secure on the wall. The drywall pin should always be pushed in by hand and never driven by a hammer. To remove the insert, push it out from the front side of the unit. Figure 8 illustrates a typical application for the Bullseye Laser Level when it is wall mounted. When visibility is poor or when using laser outdoors, use the marking insert (1) to enhance the laser line as shown in Figure 9. To extend the line, use the spacer insert (13) which is shown in Figure 10. NOTE: Because the spacer insert keeps the unit farther from the wall, the stud sensor can not be used when using the spacer insert.

DANGER: Laser Radiation, avoid direct eye exposure.

Helpful Hints

• If the laser light becomes dim or is no longer visible when the switch is in the on position check or change the battery.

• The laser lines are 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 laser unit is a wall use tool only and only generates level lines when held against a vertical surface.

• The laser unit is equipped with a self leveling pendulum lock that stops pendulum motion when the laser on/off switch is moved to the off position.

• If the laser on/off switch is pushed part way to the on position, the laser lines may be on while the pendulum lock is still engaged.

• Hold stud sensor straight up and down.

• Because studs are normally spaced 16 inches or 24 inches apart and are 1-1/2 inches wide, beware of anything closer together or of a different width. Doors and windows are constructed with studs and headers which are closer together.

• Avoid materials which have inconsistent density such as:

• Carpeting and padding

• Ceramic floor tile

• Wallpaper containing metallic foils or fibers. Generally, surfaces covered with regular

wallpaper or fabric will scan with no difference in function.

• Walls that are freshly painted and are still damp.

• Excessively thick plaster and lath.

Possible Cause

• Weak battery.

• Nothing to detect in that area.

• Check mode. May have been calibrated over a stud.

Solution

• Replace with fresh battery .

• Start again moving farther to either side.

Problem

• LEDs do not light.

• Because studs are normally spaced 16 inches or 24 inches apart and are 1-1/2 inches wide, beware of anything closer together or of a different width.

• LEDs light in too many places.

• Detects other objects besides studs.

• Electrical wiring and metal or plastic pipes may be near or touching back surface of wall.

• Replace with fresh battery .

• Be sure that the unit is as straight up and down as possible.

• Laser does not project on wall.

• Weak battery.

• The self leveling range of the unit is +/-5 degrees, if the unit is not held within 5 degrees of vertical, the laser lines will not project on wall.

• Laser projects on wall but lines are not level.

• Wall on which the unit is mounted or held must be within +/- 5 degrees of vertical for the self leveling mechanism to function correctly. If this is exceeded, the lines will still project but may not be level.

• The laser on/off switch must be pushed to the full on position.

• Use the unit against vertical walls only, lines will not be level on sloped walls or other non-vertical surfaces.

• Be sure laser on/off switch is in the full on position.

• Thickness must be less than 3/4 inch to calibrate and work properly.

• LED lights and sound stay on.

• Wall thickness is over 3/4 inch thick.
