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.
