SAFETY

Read the following safety instructions before attempting to operate this tool.

Keep these instructions in a safe place or store in the carry case for future reference.

SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

WARNING!

Read and understand all instructions.

• Use the tool only with the specifically designated batteries.

• Store the tool out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Laser tools 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 tool 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 tool 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.

• Do not let children come in contact with the tool.

• Turn the tool off when it is not in use. Leaving the tool on increases the risk of staring into the laser beam.

• Do not operate the tool around children or allow children to operate the laser. Serious eye injury may result.

• Position the tool securely on a level surface. Damage to the tool or serious injury could result if the tool falls.

• Do not remove or deface warning labels.

• If the text on the warning label is not in your native language, cover it with the appropriate label supplied before commencing operation of the laser.

WARNING!

Do Not Disassemble The Laser.

There are no user serviceable parts inside. Disassembling the tool 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.

Charging the battery

Insert the charging cable (USB-C) into the charging port

SETUP

USING THE LASER LEVEL (continued)

Select a place as close as practical to the work site.

•

Ensure the location is clear of traffic.

• Place the laser on a level surface such as a bench, floor

or mount.

OPERATION

Powering on (self-levelling)

• To turn the laser level on, slide the to the “unlocked” position (Fig. 2). Self levelling will commence and the horizontal and vertical beams will activate (Fig.3).

• If the laser level is outside the self levelling range the laser level will not level. The laser beam/s will flash continuously to alert the user that it is outside of its levelling range. If this occurs, reposition the laser level onto a level surface until it can level off.

• The included laser target can be used to assist with visibility of the laser beam in non ideal light conditions.

In bright outdoor conditions, visible distance will

be signicantly reduced. For outdoor use, it is

recommended to purchase an optional detector.

USING THE MAGNETIC MOUNT

Mounting onto a magnetic surface

• Attach the laser level to the mount using the thumb screw

(Fig. 4).

• Attach the mount to a metal surface, ensuring that the

mount has a strong hold before releasing your hands.

• To rotate the laser level on the mount, loosen the thumb

screw, position the laser level, and then re-tighten the thumb screw.

Mounting via screw fixing points

•

Attach the laser level to the mount using the thumb screw

(Fig. 6).

• Fix a screw into a secure surface and hook the mount

over the screw, ensuring that the mount has a strong hold before releasing your hands.

• To rotate the laser level on the mount, loosen the thumb

screw, position the laser level, and then re-tighten the thumb screw.

MOUNTING TO A TRIPOD

A tripod can be purchased from your nearest

measurement tool dealer. The below instructions are generic only and set-up methods may vary between models. Refer to the documentation from the tripod manufacturer for details.

• Extend the tripod legs to the required height and ensure

the legs are spread wide enough so that the tripod platform is stable. Secure the legs in place (refer to the documentation from the tripod manufacturer for details).

• Place the laser level onto the tripod and mount via the

male thread (5/8” or 1/4”) into the base until firm. Do not over tighten as this may cause damage to the laser level or tripod.

NOT INCLUDED

NOTE: adjustment methods will vary on tripod models. Always ensure that any locking levers are unlocked before making adjustments and returned to the locked position when the adjustment is complete.

• If using an elevating tripod with a measuring scale on the centre column, the height can be adjusted as required.

WARNING! Attaching the laser to a tripod without

the correct thread size may cause damage.

USING A DETECTOR

The detector and clamp is an optional accessory used

to aid with locating the laser beam in bright conditions.

Please refer to the following information to determine compatibility when choosing a detector:

Detector type: Green and/or Hybrid.

Green beam lasers are only compatible with detectors designed to detect a green beam. Hybrid detectors are designed to detect green or red laser beams.

Frequency: 5000Hz.

The detector must be designed to detect a pulse frequency of 5000Hz.

Please check with the manufacturer’s specications to

determine compatibility. For more information about choosing a detector, visit www.goblintradetools.com.
