Introduction
The 180LR and 180LG Line Laser Levels (the Product) are
battery-powered, self-leveling, professional grade
instruments. Use the Product to layout reference points to
align targets horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. The 180R
emits either a solid or pulsed red laser beam. The 180G
emits either a solid or pulsed green laser beam. The solid
laser beams are for use indoors. The pulsed laser beams
are for use outdoors with the Fluke LDR or LDG Laser
Detector.
Note
The pulsed laser beams are not as bright as the
solid laser beams. If the laser beam is difficult to
see, use either the Fluke LDR or LDG Laser
Detector to accurately determine the location of the
laser. See the LDR, LDG Users Manual.

•
Do not look directly into the laser with optical
tools (for example, binoculars, telescopes,
microscopes). Optical tools can focus the laser
and be dangerous to the eye.
•
Do not look into the laser. Do not point laser
directly at persons or animals or indirectly off
reflective surfaces.
•
Do not use the Product if it operates
incorrectly.
•
Remove the batteries if the Product is not used
for an extended period of time, or if stored in
temperatures above 50 °C. If the batteries are
not removed, battery leakage can damage the

Alignment
New Horizontal or Diagonal Alignment
To identify new level and grade marks:
Note
Use the Product in manual level mode to find
iagonal alignment.
d
1. Put the bottom of the Product on a stable surface.
2. Turn the Product around on its center until the
h
orizontal laser points to the target area. See Figure 2.
3. Put marks at the level or grade point on the target area.
Note
When the Product is mounted on a tripod, make sure
tripod head is perfectly level. Errors in marks can
the
result if a tripod is out of level.

Alignment
New Vertical Alignment
To identify new marks that are vertically aligned:
1. Put the Product facing the target and turn on the vertical
la
ser. See Figure 3.
2. Put marks at the point where the vertical laser intersects
th
e target area.
Figure 3. New Vertical Mark
Existing Item Alignment
To determine if an existing item is aligned:
1. Point the horizontal or vertical laser at the target area.
2. Measure the distance from the item to the laser. See
Figu
re 4.
3. Repeat step 2 at various distances from the Product.
If the measurements are the same from each distance
fr
om the Product, the condition is aligned.

Check Product Accuracy
Periodically check the accuracy of the Product.
Check Accuracy of Horizontal Laser
To check the accuracy of the horizontal laser:
1. Find a horizontal site that is almost level, preferably a
con
crete slab, that is ≥7.62 m (25 ft) wide with two
pposing walls to use as targets. You can also use
o
scrap wood as targets. See Figure 5.
2. Put the Product about 15 cm (6 in) from target
3. Point the horizontal laser at target
4. Put a mark
intersects the target area.
5. Turn the Product 180 ° on its center so that the
h
orizontal laser intersects with target

7. Repeat steps 2 through 6 with the Product 15 cm from
target
8. Measure the distance between mark
on target
If the distances are the same, the laser is within
calibration.
9. If the distances are not the same, subtract the lesser
easurement from the greater measurement and divide
m
by two to calculate the difference of error.
If the distance is ≤3 mm @ 9 m, the laser is within
calibrat
ion accuracy.
