READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
•Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely damaged or is completely worn out. The battery pack can explode in a fire.
•A small leakage of liquid from the battery pack cells may occur under extreme usage or temperature conditions. This does not indicate a failure. However, if the outer seal is broken and this leakage gets on your skin:
a.Wash quickly with soap and water.
b.Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar.
c.If battery liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek immediate medical attention. (MEDICAL NOTE: The liquid is 25-35% solution of potassium hydroxide.)
•Charge the battery packs only in DEWALT chargers.
•DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other liquids.
•Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where the temperature may reach or exceed 105°F (40˚) (such as outside sheds or metal buildings in summer).
DANGER: Electrocution hazard. Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If battery pack case is cracked or damaged, do not insert into charger. Electric shock or electrocution may result. Damaged battery packs should be returned to service center for recycling.
NOTE: Battery storage and carrying caps are provided for use whenever the battery is out of the tool or charg-
er. Remove cap before placing battery in charger or tool.
WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry battery so that metal objects can contact exposed battery terminals. For example, do not place battery
in aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws, keys, etc. without battery cap. 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 carry-on 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.
The RBRC™ Seal
The RBRC™ (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation) Seal on the nickel-cadmium battery (or battery pack) indicates that the costs to recycle the battery (or battery pack) at the end of its useful life have already been paid by DEWALT. In some areas, it is ille-
gal to place spent nickel-cadmium batteries in the trash or municipal solid waste stream and the RBRC program provides an environmentally conscious alternative.
RBRC in cooperation with DEWALT and other battery users, has established programs in the United States to facilitate the collection of spent nickel-cadmium batteries. Help protect our environment and conserve natural resources by returning the spent nickelcadmium battery to an authorized DEWALT service center or to your local retailer for recycling. You may also contact your local recycling center for information on where to drop off the spent battery.

Using Automatic Tune-Up™ Mode
The Automatic Tune-Up™ Mode equalizes or balances the individual cells in the battery pack allowing it to function at peak capacity. Battery packs should be tuned up weekly or after 10 charge/discharge cycles or whenever the pack no longer delivers the same amount of work. To use the Automatic Tune-Up™, place the battery pack in the charger and leave it for at least 8 hours. The charger will cycle through the following modes.
1.The red light will blink continuously indicating that the 1-hour charge cycle has started.
2.When the 1-hour charge cycle is complete, the light will stay on continuously and will no longer blink. This indicates that the pack is fully charged and can be used at this time.
3.If the pack is left in the charger after the initial 1-hour charge, the charger will begin the Automatic Tune-Up mode. This mode continues up to 8 hours or until the individual cells in the battery pack are equalized. The battery pack is ready for use and can be removed at any time during the Tune-Up mode.
4.Once the Automatic Tune Up mode is complete, the charger will begin a maintenance charge; the red indicator will remain lit.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR
FUTURE USE
Chargers
Your tool uses a DEWALT charger. Your battery can be charged in DEWALT 1 Hour Chargers, 15 Minute Chargers or Vehicular 12 Volt Charger. Be sure to read all safety instructions before using your charger. Consult the chart at the end of this manual for compatibility of chargers and battery packs.
Charging Procedure
DANGER: Electrocution hazard. 120 volts present at charging terminals. Do not probe with conductive objects. Danger of electric shock or electrocution.
1.Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting battery pack.
2.Insert the battery pack into the charger, making sure the pack is fully seated. The red (charging) light will blink continuously indicating that the charging process has started.
3.The completion of charge will be indicated by the red light remaining ON continuously. The pack is fully charged and may be used at this time or left in the charger.
Indicator Light Operation
Charge Indicators
Some chargers are designed to detect certain problems that can arise with battery packs. Problems are indicated by the red light flashing at a fast rate. If this occurs, re-insert battery pack into the charger. If the problem persists, try a different battery pack to determine if the charger is OK. If the new pack charges correctly, then the original pack is defective and should be returned to a service center or other collection site for recycling. If the new battery pack elicits the same trouble indication as the original, have the charger tested at an authorized service center.
HOT/COLD PACK DELAY
Some chargers have a Hot/Cold Pack Delay feature: when the charger detects a battery that is hot, it automatically starts a Hot Pack Delay, suspending charging until the battery has cooled. After the battery has cooled, the charger automatically switches to the Pack Charging mode. This feature ensures maximum
English

English
battery life. The red light flashes long, then short while in the Hot Pack Delay mode.
PROBLEM POWER LINE
Some chargers have a Problem Power Line indicator. When the charger is used with some portable power sources such as generators or sources that convert DC to AC, the charger may temporarily suspend operation, flashing the red light with two fast blinks followed by a pause. This indicates the power source is out of limits.
LEAVING THE BATTERY PACK IN THE CHARGER
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the red light glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep the battery pack fresh and fully charged.
NOTE: A battery pack will slowly lose its charge when kept out of the charger. If the battery pack has not been kept on maintenance charge, it may need to be recharged before use. A battery pack may also slowly lose its charge if left in a charger that is not plugged into an appropriate AC source.
WEAK BATTERY PACKS: Chargers can also detect a weak battery. Such batteries are still usable but should not be expected to perform as much work. In such cases, about 10 seconds after battery insertion, the charger will beep rapidly 8 times to indicate a weak battery condition. The charger will then go on to charge the battery to the highest capacity possible.
Important Charging Notes
1.Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is charged when the air temperature is between 65°F and 75°F (18°- 24°C). DO NOT charge the battery pack in an air temperature below +40°F (+4.5°C), or above +105°F (+40.5°C). This is important and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack.
2.The charger and battery pack may become warm to touch while charging. This is a normal condition, and does not indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling of the battery pack after use, avoid placing the charger or battery pack in a warm environment such as in a metal shed, or an uninsulated trailer.
3.If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a.Check current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other appliance
b.Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which turns power off when you turn out the lights.
c.Move charger and battery pack to a location where the surrounding air temperature is approximately 65°F - 75°F (18°- 24°C).
d.If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack and charger to your local service center.
4.The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs which were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these conditions. Follow the charging procedure. You may also charge a partially used pack whenever you desire with no adverse affect on the battery pack.
5.Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged into the power supply, the exposed charging contacts inside the charger can be shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but not limited to, steel wool, aluminum foil, or any buildup of metallic particles should be kept away from charger cavities. Always unplug the charger from the power supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug charger before attempting to clean.
6.Do not freeze or immerse charger in water or any other liquid.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Don’t allow any liquid to get inside charger. Electric shock may result.

CAUTION: Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of the battery pack breaks or cracks, return to a service center for recycling.
LASER OPERATION
•Ensure that the battery is properly charged. If the “Power” LED light is flashing, the battery needs to be charged.
•To extend battery life per charge, turn the laser off when it is not in use.
•To ensure the accuracy of your work, check the laser calibration often. See the Field Calibration Check section of this manual.
•Before attempting to use the laser, make sure the tool is positioned on a relatively smooth,secure surface.
•Always mark the center of the laser line or dot. If you mark different parts of the beam at different times you will introduce error into your measurements.
•To increase working distance and accuracy, set up the laser in the middle of your working area.
•When attaching to a tripod or wall, mount the laser securely.
•When working indoors, a slow rotary head speed will produce a visibly brighter line, a faster rotary head speed will produce a visibly solid line.
•To increase beam visibility, wear a Laser Enhancement Glasses (not included) and/or use a Laser Target Card (not included) to help find the beam.
•Extreme temperature changes can cause movement or shifting of building structures, metal tripods, equipment, etc., which can effect accuracy. Check your accuracy often while working.
•If the laser is dropped or has suffers a sharp blow, have the calibration system checked by a qualified service center before using the laser.
NOTE: The DW076 rotary laser has no remote control capability.

Digital Laser Detector: DW0772
Some laser kits include a DEWALT digital laser detector. The DEWALT digital laser detector allows you to locate a laser beam emitted by a rotary laser in bright light conditions or over long distances. The detector can be used in both indoor and outdoor situations where it is difficult to see the laser beam. The detector is not
for use with non-rotating lasers but is compatible with most rotary red-beam or infra-red (invisible) beam lasers on the market. It can be set to indicate the location of the beam to either the nearest 1/8" or the nearest 1/25". The detector gives both visual signals through the display window (N) and audio signals through the speaker (O) to indicate the location of the laser beam.

Detector Operation
1.Set up and position the rotary laser that you will be using according to the manufacturer’s directions. Turn the laser on and make sure that the laser is rotating and emitting a laser beam.
NOTE: This detector has been designed to be used only with a rotating laser. The detector will not work with a stationary beam laser level.
2. Turn the detector on by pressing the power/volume button (R). 3. Adjust the volume as desired as described in the Detector
Controls above.
4. Position the detector so that the detector window (X) is facing the laser beam produced by the rotary laser. Move the detector up or down within the approximate area of the beam, until you have centered the detector. For information about the display window indicators and the audible signal indicators, see the table titled Indicators.

MOUNTING ON A GRADE ROD
1.To secure your detector to a grade rod, first attach the detector to the clamp by pushing in on the clamp latch (Z). Slide the tracks on the clamp (AA) around the rail on the detector (BB) until the latch (CC) on the clamp pops into the latch hole (DD) on the detector.
2.Open the jaws of the clamp by turning the clamp knob (EE) counterclockwise.
3.Position the detector at the height needed and turn the clamp knob clockwise to secure the clamp on the rod.
4.To make adjustments in height, slightly loosen the clamp, reposition and retighten.
Detector Cleaning and Storage
•Dirt and grease may be removed from the exterior of the detector using a cloth or soft, non-metallic brush.
•The DEWALT digital laser detector is waterproof. If you should drop the detector in mud, wet concrete, or a similar substance, simply hose the detector off. Do not use high pressure water, (e.g., from a pressure washer).
•The best storage place is one that is cool and dry—away from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold.
Detector Service
Except for batteries, there are no user serviceable parts in the Digital Laser Detector. Do not disassemble the unit. Unauthorized tampering with the laser detector will void all warranties.
Detector Troubleshooting
THE DETECTOR WILL NOT TURN ON
•Press and release the power/volume button.
•Check to see that the battery is in place and in the proper position.
•If the detector is very cold, allow it to warm up in a heated area.
•Replace the 9 volt battery. Turn the unit on.
•If the detector still does not turn on, take the detector to a DEWALT service center.
THE DETECTOR’S SPEAKER MAKES NO SOUND
•Ensure that the detector is on.
•Press the power/volume button. It will toggle from high, to low, to mute.
•Ensure that the rotary laser is spinning and that it is emitting a laser beam.
•If the detector is still not making any sound, take it to a DEWALT service center.
THE DETECTOR IS NOT RESPONDING TO MY STATIONARY LASER LEVEL
•The DEWALT Digital Laser Detector has been designed to work only with rotary lasers.

THE DETECTOR IS GIVING OFF A TONE BUT THE LCD DISPLAY WINDOW IS NOT FUNCTIONING.
•If the detector is very cold, allow it to warm up in a heated area.
•If the LCD display window is still not functioning, take the detector to a DEWALT service center.
LASER MAINTENANCE
1. Under some conditions, the glass lens inside the rotary head may collect some dirt or debris. This will affect beam quality and operating range. The lens should be cleaned with a cotton swab moistened with water as shown.
2.The flexible rubber shield can be cleaned with a wet lint-free cloth such as a cotton cloth. USE WATER ONLY — DO NOT use cleansers or solvents. Allow the unit to air dry before storing.
3.To maintain the accuracy of your work, check the calibration of the laser often. See the Field Calibration Check section of this manual.
4.Calibration checks and other maintenance repairs can be performed by DEWALT service centers. Two free calibration checks are included under the DEWALT One Year Free Service Contract.
5.When the laser is not in use, store it in the kit box provided.
6.Do not store your laser in the kit box if the laser is wet. Dry exterior parts with a soft, dry cloth and allow the laser to air dry.
7.Do not store your laser at temperatures below 0˚F (-18˚C) or above 105˚F (41˚C).
CLEANING
Exterior plastic parts may be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Although these parts are highly solvent resistant, NEVER use solvents. Never use compressed air to clean the laser.
Field Calibration Check
Field calibration checks should be done frequently. This section provides instructions for performing simple field calibration checks of your DEWALT Rotary Laser. Field calibration checks do not calibrate the laser. That is, these checks do not correct errors in the leveling or plumbing capability of the laser. Instead, the checks indicate whether or not the laser is providing a correct level and plumb line. These checks cannot take the place of professional calibration performed by a DEWALT service center.

2.Mount the rotary laser on the tripod so that the X-axis points away from the wall as shown.
3.Turn the laser on by pressing the ON/OFF button.
4.Mark the center of the beam elevation on the wall (a).
5.Turn the entire laser unit 180° so that the X-axis points towards the wall and mark the center of the beam elevation (b).
6.If the distance between the two marks (a, b) is no more than 1/8" (3 mm), the laser is properly calibrated.
7.Repeat the above steps for the Y-axis by first pointing the Y-axis away from the wall then turning the entire laser unit 180° again.
