Congratulations on your choice of this Self-Leveling Rotary Laser
Level. We suggest you read this instruction manual thoroughly before
using the instrument. Save this instruction manual for future use.
This tool emits one rotating laser beam level line that is ideal for layout
of indoor or outdoor construction projects. Since the product is
equipped with a beam detector (in model no. 40-6530 only), visibility of
the beam in various lighting conditions is not an issue.
This is a Class IIIa laser tool and is manufactured to comply
with CFR 21, parts 1040.10 and 1040.11 as well as international
safety rule IEC 285.
• Read all instructions prior to operating this laser tool. Do not remove any labels from
tool.
• Use of controls or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may
result in hazardous radiation exposure.
• Do not stare directly at the laser beam.
• Do not project the laser beam directly into the eyes of others.
• Do not set up laser tool at eye level or operate the tool near a reflective surface as
the laser beam could be projected into your eyes or into the eyes of others.
• Do not place the laser tool in a manner that may cause someone to unintentionally
look into the laser beam. Serious eye injury may result.
• Do not operate the tool in explosive environments, i.e. in the presence of gases or
flammable liquids.
• Keep the laser tool out of the reach of children and other untrained persons.
• Do not attempt to view the laser beam through optical tools such as telescopes as
serious eye injury may result.
• Always turn the laser tool off when not in use or left unattended for a period of time.
• Remove the batteries when storing the tool for an extended time (more than 3 months)
to avoid damage to the tool should the batteries deteriorate.
• Do not attempt to repair or disassemble the laser tool. If unqualified persons attempt
to repair this tool, serious injury may result.
• Use only original AccuLine Pro
Pro authorized dealer. Use of non-AccuLine Pro parts and accessories will void warranty.

WARNING!
The tinted goggles are designed to enhance
the visibility of the laser beam. They DO NOT
offer protection to the eyes from direct exposure
of the laser beam.
IMPORTANT: It is the responsibility of the user to verify the calibration
of the instrument before each use.
Battery Installation
Note: Always check to be sure that the on/off switch is in the off
position before removing and replacing batteries.
Battery kit:• “C” alkaline battery box
• Rechargeable battery-pack
Bolt
Alkaline Battery
1. Loosen the set-bolt and take the battery box apart from the unit,
as shown in fig. a.
2. Put in four “C” batteries (not included) according to the polarity
illustrated in the battery box, and snap the battery box back into
place, as shown in fig. b and c.
3. If using the rechargeable battery-pack, fix the battery-box onto the
unit directly, and tighten the bolt (fig. c).
Detector Usage (included in Model No. 40-6530 only)
1. Technical Specifications
Detecting range≥820 ft. (250m)
Detecting accuracy Fine ±0.039" (±1mm)
Coarse ±0.098" (±2.5mm)
Turn-off time 5 minutes
Operating voltage DC9V
Size 6-3/4" x 3" x 1" (0.266 x 0.118 x 0.029mm)
Weight 0.55 Ibs (0.249 Kg)
Dust and rain resistant
Illuminated Screen
Multi-functional double sides display
Buzzer for recognizing location
• Aim the receiving window at the
rotating laser instrument. Loosen the
clamp bolt and move the instrument
up and downwards to receive the
laser scanning signals transmitted by
the rotating laser instrument.
• When the instrument displays like
Fig. (A), move the instrument slightly
downwards as indicated by the arrow.
When it displays like Fig. (B), move it
slightly upwards as indicated by the
arrow.
• When Fig. (C) is displayed, the instrument is at the right position.
• Tighten the clamp bolt and mark the position of the object on the
rabbet. This mark will be the horizontal reference of the coarse
detection.
• Press coarse/fine detection button. The
instrument is ready for fine detection.
• Move the instrument slightly up and
downwards like the coarse detection
procedure.
• When the instrument displays as shown
in the figure, it is at the right position.
• Tighten the clamp bolt and mark the position of the object on the
rabbet. This mark will be the horizontal reference of the fine detection.
(e) Sound function
• If the instrument is working in a circumstance that makes it difficult
to use the display function, the sound function can be used instead.
• Press the sound function button. The sound symbol is displayed
which means it is ready for sound function. The instrument then
conducts coarse/fine detection through sound (buzz) signals.
• When the sound signal is ultra-short buzz, move the instrument
slightly upwards.
• When the instrument makes short buzz, move it slightly downwards.
• When the instrument makes intermittent, continuous sound, it is at
the right position.
• If there is no buzz heard, the instrument has not received the laser
scanning signal.
• The instrument will automatically turn off if it has not received
laser scanning signal for 5 minutes
(g) Illuminator system
• There is an illuminator system at the right-faced display window.
Press the illuminator button which will illuminate the display window.
8. Self-Check and Calibration
X-Direction Accuracy Self-Check
1. For clarity, we define the direction of handle as X-direction,
and another direction as Y-direction
Wall
2. Place the unit on a platform that is 30 feet (10m) away from a
wall indoors, with the handle facing the wall head-on. Unlock
the unit and adjust it to the quick-scan status.
3. Draw one vertical line on exactly front wall, which intersection
with the laser line can be marked as point A.
Note: This test should be done indoors with dim lighting It’s
(
critical that the laser mark is easily seen)
4. Turn the instrument by 180 degrees, mark the intersection of
vertical line and laser line as point B, and also mark the center
of point A and point B as point 0.
5. Measure the vertical distance h between point A and point B.
6. As shown, turn the instrument by 90° and place it on the
platform, with the operating panel facing you. Perform
Y-direction self-check with the same method as X-direction
self-check, and mark point C and point D by turns.
7. If h<0.236" (6mm), the accuracy is within tolerance.
Otherwise reference section 12 of this document.
Accuracy Self-Check for Vertical Output Status
1. Follow the operations as above, and measure the distance H1
between the laser rotating plane and the platform surface.
2. Set the locking knob to locking position, and place the instrument
horizontally.
3. Adjust the adjusting screw to center the bubble.
4. Measure the distance H2 between the top laser beam and the
platform surface.
5. Mark out E in the position that is (H1 –H2 ) lower than point 0.
6. If e – point 0 < 0.394" (10mm), the accuracy is within tolerance.
Otherwise reference section 12 of this document.
