Introduction
The 3PR and 3PG Point Laser Levels (the Product) are
battery-powered, self-leveling, professional grade
instruments. Use the Product to layout reference points and
to make sure conditions are level and plumb. The 3PR
emits a dashed red line and is for use indoors. The 3PG
emits a dashed green line and is for use outdoors.

Level
To identify new level and grade marks:
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 1.
3. Place a mark at the level or grade point on the target
ar
ea.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each point as needed.
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.
To determine if an existing item is level:
1. Point the horizontal laser at the target area.
2. Measure the distance from the item to the laser. See
Fig
ure 2.
3. Repeat step 2 at various distances from the Product.
If the measurements are the same from each distance
from t
he Product, the condition is level.

Plumb
The Product can send plumb marks up, down, or
cantilevered over the edge of a building or shaft opening.

Plumb
To identify new plumb marks
1. Place a cross mark on the point to be transposed.
2. Center the down laser over the cross mark. See
Fig
ure 3.
3. Place a mark at the point where the up laser intersects
th
e target area.
To identify new plumb marks on a floor, repeat the steps

To determine if an existing item is plumb:
1. Point either the up or down laser at the target area.
2. Measure the distance from the item to the laser. See

Check Accuracy of the Product
Periodically check the accuracy of the Product.
Check Accuracy of Level
To check the accuracy of the level:
1. Find a horizontal site that is almost level, preferably a
con
crete slab, that is ≥7.62 m (25 ft) wide with two
posing walls to use as targets. You can also use
op
scrap wood as targets. See Figure 5.
2. Place the Product about 15 cm (6 in) from target
3. Point the horizontal laser at target
4. Place a mark
at the point where the horizontal laser
.
intersects the target area.
5. Turn the Product 180 ° on its center so that the
horizont
al laser intersects with target
6. Place a mark
at the point where the horizontal laser
.
intersects the target area.
7. Repeat steps 2 through 6 with the Product 15 cm from
target

easurement from the greater measurement and divide

by two to calculate the difference of error.
If the distances are the same, the laser is level.
If the distance is ≤6 mm @ 30 m, the laser is within

Check Accuracy of Plumb
To check the accuracy of the plumb:
1. Find a site that has a ≥3.0
2. Place a cross mark at the bottom of the site.
3. Center the down laser on both axes of the cross mark.
See Figure 6.

4. Place a cross mark at the point where the up laser
intersects the target area at the top of the site.
5. Turn the Product 180 ° on its center.
6. Repeat step 3 and step 4.
If the first and second cross marks on the target area at
th
e top of the site are the same, the laser is plumb.
7. If the cross marks are not the same, measure the
d
istance between the center points of the two cross
marks and divide by two to calculate the difference of
error.
If the distance is ≤6 mm @ 30 m, the laser is within
calibrat
ion accuracy.
Maintenance
The Product does not require maintenance but treat the
Product as a calibrated instrument. Do not drop the Product.
Warning
To prevent eye damage and personal injury, do not
open the Product. The laser beam is dangerous to the
eyes. Have the Product repaired only through an
approved technical site.
