PM 24 Multi Directional Laser – plumbing, setting out 90 ° angle, horizontal levelling and aligning

The Hilti PM 24 is a self-levelling laser tool which allows a single person to do plumbing, setting out 90 ° angle, horizontal levelling and aligning tasks quickly and precisely. It projects four coincident laser beams (beams with the same point of origin). All beams have the same operating range of 30 m (100 ft). However, the maximum recommended distance of the reference beam (plumb down) is 1 m (3,3 ft), due to its lower accuracy.

 

Features

 

High accuracy of horizontal beams and plumb up beam

 

 

(3 mm @ 10 m or 1/8 inch @ 30 ft)

 

Additional reference beam downwards

 

 

(2 mm @ 1 m or 1/12 inch @ 3 ft)

 

Self-levelling within ± 5° in all directions

 

Fast self-levelling time: ~ 3 seconds

 

Out-of-level warning when the self-levelling range is exceeded

 

 

(the laser beams blink)

 

Robust, impact-resistant plastic housing

 

Small size and light weight - handy to use and transport

 

– Automatic cut-out: the tool switches off automatically after 15

 

 

minutes. Selection of sustained operating mode is also possible.

Easy to operate

 

 

1. Product information

Operating controls and indicators

To switch the tool on / off:

Press and release the ON / OFF button once.

The tool levels itself automatically within 3 seconds each time it is moved.

The tool levels itself automatically even when not switched on. The tool switches off automatically after 15 minutes.

Condition

The tool must be placed on a level surface with a maximum slope of 5°.

To de-activate the automatic cut-out:

Press and hold the ON / OFF button until the green LED begins to ~3s blink (approx. 3 seconds) and then release the button.

The tool is then in sustained operating mode, i.e. for long periods of operation.

Note

Press the ON / OFF button to switch off the tool after use in order to save battery power.
