SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR
FUTURE REFERENCE.
WARNING: Read and understand all
instructions.
• Use the laser only with the specifically designated
batteries.
• Store the laser out of reach of children and other
untrained persons. Lasers are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
• Use only accessories that are recommended for
your model.
• Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Repairs, service or maintenance
performed by unqualified personnel will void the
warranty. Only approved and authorised service
technicians can carry out warranty repairs.
• Do not use optical tools such as a telescope or
transit to view the laser beam. Serious eye injury
could result.
• Do not place the laser in a position which may
cause anyone to intentionally or unintentionally
stare into the laser beam. Serious eye injury could
result.
• Do not position the laser near a reflective surface
which may reflect the laser beam toward anyone’s
eyes. Serious eye injury could result.
• Do not use optical tools to view the laser beam.
• Do not set up the tool at a position where the laser
beam can cross any person at head height.
!
3
• Do not let children come in contact with the laser.
• Turn the laser off when it is not in use. Leaving
the laser on increases the risk of staring into the
laser beam.
• Do not operate the laser around children or allow
children to operate the laser. Serious eye injury
may result.
• Do not remove or deface warning labels.
• Position the laser securely on a level surface.
Damage to the laser or serious injury could result
if the laser falls.
WARNING: Do Not Disassemble
The Laser.
There are no user serviceable parts inside.
Disassembling the laser will void all warranties on
the product. Do not modify the product in any way.
Modifying the tool may result in hazardous laser
radiation exposure.
!
!
CAUTION: Class 2 Laser Product
• Never look into the laser beam directly and
intentionally.
• Do not use optical tools to view the laser beam.
• Do not set up the tool at a position where the
laser beam can cross any person at head height.

press the grade adjustment buttons on the laser
or remote control to change to the desired number
(positive or negative). When the required grade /
slope percentage has been selected, press the
automatic grade mode button to confirm the
Y-axis setting. If you do not wish to set a grade on
this axis, press the automatic grade mode button
to complete the dial-in grade / slope operation.
• The instrument will now adjust to your selected
grade(s) / slope(s).
• To change a selected grade / slope, press the
automatic grade mode button to cancel the grade
/ slope operation and press again to begin set up
again.
• To cancel dial-in grade / slope operation and reset
the instrument, press the automatic grade mode
button.
23
Setting up a manual grade / slope
• To create a manual grade / slope, press the
manual grade mode button. The instrument
will now be in the X-axis manual grade mode as
indicated by the LED on the laser control panel.
• To change to the Y-axis, press the manual grade
mode button on the laser control panel. The
instrument will now be in the Y-axis manual grade
mode as indicated by the LCD screen .
• To adjust the grade / slope on the required axis,
press the up or down grade adjustment buttons
to tilt the laser beam up or down (depending on
direction) on the selected axis.
When in manual mode the instrument will not
self level and correct for vibrations and/or
disturbances.

Before doing any precision levelling it is advised to
check the calibration of the instrument.
• Set up the laser on a tripod at about 30m facing a
wall or staff with a detector.
• Allow the instrument to level.
• Detect and note laser position on the wall or staff.
• Without moving the tripod rotate the instrument
180°.
• Detect and note laser position on the wall or staff.
• Calculate the distance between the two readings.
• The difference should be within 6mm at 30m.
• If the instrument is out of calibration it is advised
to send it in to Spot-on.

29
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• Reflective surfaces such as glass may reflect the
beam, causing two beams to strike the detector
at the same time. This may create inaccurate
reference points.
• This is a precision measuring instrument
and should always be handled with care and
transported within the carry case provided.
• Whenever possible, store the instrument in a dry,
shady location.
• Calibration of the instrument is recommended:
every six months, if ongoing accurate levelling is
required, or an impact has occurred.
• The operator should check the accuracy of the
instrument before precision levelling is attempted.
Failure to do so may result in inaccurate
measurements.
• The supplied charger is specific to this product. Do
not purchase or use any other type of charger or
power adaptor.
• Clean the instrument with a dry, soft cloth after use
in dusty, damp or wet conditions before storing.
• Smudges and fingerprints may be removed with a
damp tissue or a soft, lint-free cloth.
