6274H-2_Manuals 9/26/12 11:32 AM Page 7

Note:

(1) Charge the rechargeable battery when the battery power is low

(battery symbol on the LCD is flashing). This will extend the battery life.

(2) If the laser is not going to be used for a long period of time,

charge the rechargeable battery every 2-3 months.

(3) The instrument can operate while the batteries are recharging.

Use of the Slope Plate and Fine Adjusting Plate:

If the laser is operating with less than +12% grade in the Y-axis, the slope plate is not required.

If the laser is operating between +12% and +25% in the Y-axis, the slope plate is required.

Slope Plate

For exact positioning of the X or Y-axis, screw the Fine Adjusting Plate on the tripod and then screw the laser to the Fine Adjusting Plate. Use the sighting scope to rotate the laser to the exact position required. Use the Fine Adjustment Knobs for fine movement. Use the Lock Knob when positioned in the correct position.
