2. Description
2.1 Use of the product as directed
The Hilti PRI 2 is a laser tool with a rotating laser
beam and a reference beam set at 90° to the main
beam.
The tool is intended mainly for indoor use. When
used for outdoor applications, care must be taken to
ensure that the general conditions are similar to those
encountered indoors.
The tool is designed to be used for determining,
checking / transferring levels, verticals, alignment,
plumb points, slopes and right angles, for example:
Transferring datum lines and heights,
Marking out partition walls (vertical and/or at right
angles)
Aligning systems and facilities in three axes.
Observe the information printed in the operating instructions concerning operation, care and maintenance.
12
The tool and its ancillary equipment may present
hazards when usedincorrectly by untrained personnel
or when used not as directed.
Take the influences of the surrounding area into
account. Do not use the appliance where there is a
risk of fire or explosion.
Modification of the tool is not permissible.
2.2 Features
The tool allows a single person to level or align in
any plane quickly and with great accuracy. Automatic
leveling (within ±5° inclination): The tool levels itself
automatically after switching on. LEDs indicate each
operating status. The tool can be set up directly on the
floor, on a tripod, or on the PRA 70/71 wall bracket.
2.3 Combination with the PRA 2 remote control
unit
The PRA 2 remote control unit can be used to control
the PRI 2 rotating laser conveniently from a distance.
The remote control function can also be used to adjust
alignment of the laser beam.
2.4 Combination with the PRA 22 laser receiver
The PRA 22 laser receiver facilitates indication of the
laser beam at great distances. For further information,
please refer to the PRA 22 operating instructions.
NOTE
Depending on the version purchased, the PRA 22
laser receiver may not be included among the items
supplied.
2.5 Speed of rotation
There are 5 different speeds of rotation (0, 90, 150,
300 or 600 revolutions per minute)
When rotation is switched off, the laser can be aligned
manually.
2.6 Horizontal plane (automatic leveling)
After switching on, the tool levels itself automatically
in all directions by way of 2 built-in servo motors.
2.7 Vertical plane (automatic leveling)
Vertical alignment is carried out automatically. The
servo buttons can be used to align (pivot) the vertical
plane manually.
2.8 Inclined planes
The inclination (slope) can be set manually in the horizontal mode. This function is activated by pressing
the slope button. The servo buttons can be used to
manually incline the horizontal plane.
2.9 Automatic cut-out
When automatic leveling is activated for one or both
axes, the built-in servo system ensures that the
specified accuracy is maintained.
The tool switches itself off if leveling is unsuccessful
(when the tool is set up outside its self-levelling range
or movement is blocked mechanically).
The tool switches itself off when knocked off level
(vibration / impact).
When the tool has switched itself off, rotation stops
and all LEDs blink.
2.10 Increasing the visibility of the laser beam
Depending on the working distance and ambient light,
visibility of the laser beam may be impaired.
The PRA 50/ 51 target plate and/or the PUA 60 laser
visibility glasses can be used to improve laser beam
visibility.
When laser beam visibility is reduced due to bright
sunshine, for example, we recommend use of the
PRA 22 laser receiver (accessory).

can also be controlled directly from the PRI 2 rotating
laser.
7.1 Working with the PRA 2 remote control
unit 3
The PRA 2 remote control unit makes working with
the rotating laser more convenient and is required in
order to make use of certain functions.
7.1.1 Selecting the speed of rotation
(revolutions per minute)
After switching on, the PRI 2 rotating laser always
begins to operate at a speed of 150 revolutions per
minute. Working at a slower speed of rotation can,
however, make the laser beam appear much brighter.
The speed of rotation can be altered by pressing the
speed of rotation control button the required number
of times: 0 > 90 > 150 > 300 >600 >0.
7.1.2 Line function
The area of the laser beam can be reduced to a line by
pressing the line function button. The laser beam then
appears considerably brighter. The length of the line
can be adjusted by pressing the line function button
the desired number of times: 0° > 5° > 10° > 15°
> 0°. The length of the line depends on the distance
between the laser and the wall or the working surface.
The laser line can be shifted to the left or the right, as
desired, by pressing the direction buttons (right/left).
7.2 Working with the PRA 22 laser receiver
(accessory)
The laser receiver can be used at distances of up to
150 m or when working in unfavorable light. The laser
beam is indicated visually and by an audible signal.
en
NOTE
For further information, please refer to the PRA 22
operating instructions.
7.3 Working in the horizontal plane
In order to work in the horizontal plane, the rotating
laser must be set up with the rotation head facing
upwards. Set up the tool in a suitable position for the
application, e.g. on a tripod.
Press the on/off button.
Shortly before leveling is complete, the laser beam
switches on and begins to rotate (at a speed of 150
revolutions per minute).
7.4 Working in the vertical plane 5
To work in the vertical plane, set up the tool so that the
rotation head faces to the side. This can be achieved
by standing the tool on the pins, so that the control
panel faces upwards. Slide the reference indicator
upwards. The tool can then be aligned with the aid
of the laser reference point. Alternatively, the rotating
laser can be mounted on a tripod with the PRA 70/71
wall bracket. Press the on/off button. When leveling
is complete, the laser beam switches on and begins
to rotate (at a speed of 150 revolutions per minute).
7.5 Vertical alignment of the laser beam
The laser beam can be aligned vertically by pressing
the +/- buttons on the remote control unit. Manual
alignment of the rotating laser must be carried out
exactly.
1. Position the rotating laser on the desired reference
point and switch it on.
2. Use the rotation or line function buttons to set
the desired function (for example, projection of a
medium-sized line).
3. You can then align this line manually. The servo
buttons can be used to move the line to the left or
to the right (maximum +/-5°).
17
7.6 Working with slopes 6
1. Mount the tool in a suitable position for the
application to be carried out (e.g. on a tripod).
2. To set a slope, first press the slope button on the
PRI 2 rotating laser. After activating this function
by pressing the slope button, the remote control
en
unit can then be used to set the required slope
relative to the horizontal plane. The laser beam can
be adjusted in the desired direction by pressing
the +/- buttons. Self-levelling is deactivated when
the slope function is in use.
8. Care and maintenance
8.1 Cleaning and drying
1. Blow dust off the lenses.
