This simple-to-use tool allows you to generate two lines on the
floor at 90º angles for surface layout including tile, stone, brick,
carpet and hardwood flooring. Unlike lines drawn from chalk, the
40-6616 projects two laser beams over wet mastic or concrete.
Angles are easily established with the built-in protractor.

IMPORTANT: It is the responsibility of the user to verify the
calibration of the instrument before each use.
Battery Installation
As shown in figure, remove the battery
door and put two “AA” alkaline batteries
into the battery compartment according to
the polarity indicated. Snap the battery
cover back into place.
Note: Used (discharged) batteries are
hazardous waste and should be
disposed of properly.
7. Using the Product
Press the power button. Position the laser so that it’s appropriate for
your application needs. If necessary, align the laser beam(s) with a
reference point(s). The freestanding target increases the beams’
visibility. Use the laser beams as line references.

Establishing Common Angles
1. Mark the point on the floor where the laser beams would
intersect (point A).
2. Using the angle scale as a guide, mark the point on the
floor that corresponds to the angle you want to establish
(point B).
3. Rotate the laser so that the 0º angle scale is on point B.
Make sure that the laser beams still intersect at point A.
Increasing the Beams’ Visibility
The laser beams’ visibility can be increased when working in really
bright conditions, such as working near window openings or
outside walls.
1. Work toward the laser.
2. Use the target.
3. Use laser glasses (not included).
