• Install the correct leg set for your pipe size. Legs are etched with
the nominal pipe diameter in mm. For 6” pipe, no legs are needed.
Note: 200mm=8”, 250mm=10”, 300=12”, 400mm=15”, 500mm=21”
• The leg sets are designed to center the laser in a pipe of the
given diameter. If your application does not require the laser to be
centered, you can use any leg set that fits inside your pipe.
• Power on the laser by pressing
. The laser will self level
vertically and adjust to a grade of 0.0%. Using the horizontal level
indicator on the OLED display, rotate the laser as necessary to
level the laser.
• Insert the appropriate target into the target holder and set the
target to the appropriate height. Place the
target at the far end of your pipe.
• Level the target in the pipe using the
bubble level on the target. The target is
calibrated so that the bullseye is centered
in the pipe.
• Use
and to move the beam to be
vertically centered to the bullseye. The
horizontal position indicator will indicate
how much of the ±4° travel has been used.
• Set the laser’s slope to the desired grade,
generally obtained from your engineering
plans.
• Press
to enter grade set mode.
• Press
and to adjust each digit and the slope direction
(+ or -). Press
to advance to the next digit.
• Press
to store the slope value. The laser will reposition
vertically to the new slope.
• You may now complete your work.
• To reset the horizontal position of the laser to center, press both
and simultaneously. The laser will re-center horizontally and
the Horizontal Position Indicator will indicate center.
• To power o the laser, press
.
• If your laser has an LCD display, it will be supplied
with Version 1 remote. OLED display pipe lasers use
Version 2. NOTE: Remotes are not interchangeable if you need to replace your remote, ensure you order
the correct version!
• The remote will not power the laser ON unless the
laser has been operated within the last 30 minutes.
• The laser has remote sensors at both front and rear
of the laser housing, and can receive remote signals
from up to 165’ away.
• The remote functions just like the laser’s keypad,
letting you control the laser safely from outside the
ditch in which its located.
Johnson’s pipe laser trivet stand (Part 40-6391,
sold separately) is an excellent accessory for
positioning your pipe laser when your application
does not require the laser to be centered in a
pipe. The trivet stand is easy to level in both axes
and securely mounts the pipe laser.
The trivet stand features a slope scale to help you
determine the elevation of your jobsite.
