Self-levelling and Lock functions
The instrument automatically levels itself within the
specified grade range (Refer to "Technical data") .
Turn the Lock switch 3 in order to transport or tilt the
instrument beyond the self-levelling range. When
locked, the pendulum is fixed and the self-levelling
function is deactivated.

Pulse
To be able to detect the laser lines over long distances
(> 15 m) or in unfavourable lighting conditions, a laser
detector can be used. The detector is able to locate the
laser beam in Pulse mode, even over long distances.

Check the accuracy of your SK103P regularly
and particularly before important measuring tasks.
Checking the accuracy of the levelling
Set the instrument on a tripod half-way between two
walls (A+B) that are approx. 5 m apart.
Place the Lock switch 3 in the "Unlocked" ( )
position.
Direct the instrument at wall A and switch on the instrument. Activate the horizontal laser line or laser dot and
mark the position of the line or the dot on wall A (-> A1).
Rotate the instrument by 180° and mark the horizontal
laser line or the laser dot in exactly the same way on wall
B (-> B1).
Operation
Then place the instrument at the same elevation as
close as possible to wall A and again mark the horizontal
laser line or the laser dot on wall A (-> A2) . Rotate the
instrument by 180° again and mark the laser on wall B (> B2). Measure the distances of the marked points A1A2 and B1-B2. Calculate the difference of the two
measurements. If the difference does not exceed 2 mm,
then the SK103P is within tolerance.

Place the Lock switch 3 in the "Unlocked" ( )
position.
Position the instrument approx. 5 m away from the wall.
Direct the instrument at the wall and switch on with the
On/Set key 1. Activate the laser line with the On/Set key
1 and mark the intersection point of laser crosshairs on
the wall.
Swivel the instrument to the right and then to the left.
Observe the vertical deviation of the horizontal line from
the marking. If the difference does not exceed 3 mm,
then the SK103P is within tolerance.
Makita SK103P
Checking the accuracy of the vertical line:
Place the Lock switch 3 in the "Unlocked" ( )
position.
As reference, use a plumb-bob and attach it as close as
possible to an approx. 3 m high wall.
Position the instrument at a distance of approx. 1.5 m from
the wall at an elevation of approx. 1.5 m. Direct the instrument at the wall and switch on with the On/Set key 1. Activate the laser line with the On/Set key 1. Rotate the instrument and align it with the bottom of the plumb line. Now read
off the maximum deviation of the laser line from the top of the
plumb line. If the difference does not exceed 2 mm, then the
SK103P is within tolerance.

laser beam hits point A1 exactly. If point B2 is no further than
2 mm away from point B1, then the SK103P is within tolerance.
Should your SK103P be outside of the specified
tolerance, please contact an authorised dealership of
Makita.
Display notices
Falling below or exceeding the permissible temperature
range:
The laser switches off and all symbols flash.
Outside of the self-levelling range:
The laser beam is flashing.
Pendulum locked:
The laser beam is not levelled and the Lock symbol 4 lights
up.
Care and advice on operation
Do not immerse the instrument in water. Wipe off dirt with a
damp soft cloth. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents or
solvents. Treat the instrument with the same care that you
would apply to binoculars or a camera.
Dropping or violent shaking of the instrument may damage
it. Check the instrument for any damage before using it.
Check the levelling accuracy of the instrument regularly.
Transport
To safely transport the instrument, set the Lock switch 3 to
"Locked" ( ).
