Johnson Level 40-0909 User Manual

ABOUT THIS PRODUCT

This leveling instrument uses a laser beam to plot distant points or lines. The sleeve, or main body, of this spirit level is made of heavy-duty aluminum and contains two level vials (horizontal and adjustable) as well as a semi-conductor laser.

When installed on the leveling base and rotated 360-degrees, the laser point (beam) of this level will always project at a constant horizontal. The lightweight, yet sturdy, tripod quickly sets the laser point at the required height. The laser point attachments included in the kit help find level and plumb points easily. These attachments can be adjusted to any angle.

This level may be used both indoors and out. It is suitable for contractors and DIY’ers alike.

• 360-degree rotating leveling base

• 90-degree angle deviator (splitter) lens

ASSEMBLY & OPERATING MANUAL

INSERTING/CHANGING BATTERIES & ACTIVATING THE LASER BEAM

Open the red, threaded connector and insert the two AAA (1.5V) batteries as shown on the diagram printed on the level sleeve.

To turn the laser level “on”, rotate the knob located above the laser beam exit hole in a clockwise direction. To turn the beam “off”, rotate the knob counter-clockwise.

Note: Used (discharged) batteries are hazardous waste and must be

disposed of properly.

ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENT

Expand the legs of the tripod and position it firmly on an even, near-level surface. On uneven surfaces and inclines, compensate by adjusting the telescoping legs of the tripod and find level with the aid of the built-in Bull’s Eye™ centering vial (found at the top of the tripod’s base).

Tightly screw the rotating leveling base and tripod together.

Bring the leveling plate of the base into a level position by means of the three adjusting screws and the built-in Bull’s Eye™ centering vial.

Place the spirit level on the leveling plate and tighten it with the locking clamp. Check to ensure the vial registers level. Use the regulating screws to adjust. (Center the bubble exactly between the markings on the vial).

Loosen the “stop” screw, rotate the level 90 degrees and check for level again using one of the other adjusting screw(s)--if necessary. Return to original position and re-check, re-adjusting if required.

The elevation of the laser point can be fixed to the desired position using the tripod’s handle crank. Use the degree scale on the leveling base to set the level at the required angle.
