such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust.

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

• Store idle product 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.

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

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

temperature range of 41°F(5°C) ­104°F(40°C).

CAUTION: Use caution when drilling,
nailing or cutting into walls, floors and
ceilings which may contain electrical
wiring or pipes. 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

ay result in hazardous laser radiation

m
exposure.

Installing the Batteries - figure A

• Ensure laser on/off actuator (1) is in the
full off position by sliding the actuator to
the left “OFF” position.

• Open the battery compartment cover (8)
located on the back of the unit. Insert 2
fresh 1.5 volt AAA batteries making sure
to match (+) and (-) terminals correctly.
Close battery compartment cover and
click into place.

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.

• Do not mix old and new batteries. Replace
all of them at the same time with new
batteries of the same brand and type.

• 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.”

Hanging on a wall using
removable adhesive strip - figure E

NOTE: Black & Decker suggests the use
of 3M®Command®Strips.

The laser unit can be hung on a wall using
a removable adhesive strip (7) that is
attached to the back of the wall mounting
attachment.

NOTE:

1.) The wall should be clean and dry to use
the adhesive strip.

2.) Adhesive strip can be used on drywall,
plaster and wood.

3.) Adhesive strip cannot be used on some
types of wallpaper.

• Remove liner paper from one side of
adhesive strip (7) and apply strip to back
of wall mounting attachment (6).

• Remove liner paper from other side of
adhesive strip and press attachment
firmly onto wall.

• Align the circular pocket on the back of
the laser with the magnetic circle on the
front of the wall attachment.

• Make sure that the unit is seated firmly,
and is secure on the wall.

• To remove from wall, first remove the
laser unit from the wall mounting
attachment. Then, holding the wall
attachment with one hand, slowly stretch
the adhesive strip straight along the wall
away from the wall mounting attachment
until it releases from the wall (figure E).
Do not pull strip at an angle.

relative to vertical.

• The unit can be spun around 360
degrees, and the angle reading can be
taken from the window.

• The angle can then be transferred to
another work area.

• Although the laser direction can be
changed from vertical to left or right in
“Protractor Mode”, for best results, it
should be set to the vertical position.

Auto Leveling Mode - figure

Imported by

Black & Decker (U.S.) Inc.,

701 E. Joppa Rd.

Towson, MD 21286 U.S.A.

Possible Cause

• Weak batteries.

• 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.

• 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.

7

GG

Solution

• Replace with fresh batteries.

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

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

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