• Do not look into the laser. Do not point laser directly at persons or animals or indirectly off
reflective surfaces.
• Do not look directly into the laser with optical tools (for example, binoculars, telescopes,
microscopes). Optical tools can focus the laser and be dangerous to the eye.
• Do not open the Product. The laser beam is dangerous to eyes.
• Batteries contain hazardous chemicals that can cause burns or explode. If exposure to chemicals
occurs, clean with water and get medical aid.
• Do not disassemble the battery.
• Repair the Product before use if the battery leaks.
• The battery door must be closed and locked before you operate the Product.
• Remove the batteries if the Product is not used for an extended period of time, or if stored in
temperatures above 50 °C. If the batteries are not removed, battery leakage can damage the
Product.
• Replace the batteries when the low battery indicator shows to prevent incorrect measurements.
• Be sure that the battery polarity is correct to prevent battery leakage.
• Use only Fluke approved power adapters to charge the battery.
• Do not short the battery terminals together.
• Do not disassemble or crush battery cells and battery packs.
• Do not keep cells or batteries in a container where the terminals can be shorted.

In colder climates, the Product needs sufficient time to warm up to achieve the stated accuracy
measurements. Turn on the Product and wait 3 minutes before you take a measurement. When you
move the Product between environments with large differences in ambient temperature, allow for an
additional adjustment time.
Battery or battery compartment
This product complies with the WEEE Directive marking requirements. The affixed label
indicates that you must not discard this electrical/electronic product in domestic household
waste. Product Category: With reference to the equipment types in the WEEE Directive
Annex I, this product is classed as category 9 "Monitoring and Control Instrumentation"
product. Do not dispose of this product as unsorted municipal waste.
Indicates a Class 2 laser. DO NOT STARE INTO BEAM The following text may appear with
the symbol on the product label: “IEC/EN 60825-1:2014. Complies with 21 CFR 1040.10
and 1040.11 except for deviations pursuant to Laser Notice 50, dated June 24, 2007.” In
addition, the following pattern on the label will indicate wavelength and optical power:
λ = xxxnm, x.xxmW.
Note
Low battery indicator.

Mount the Product
You can use the Product in an upright position so the laser rotates horizontally.
The HV2R and HV2G can be used in a side position so the laser rotates vertically. In the side position, the
Product also emits a horizontal point laser parallel to the side of the Product and perpendicular to the rotary laser.
Figure 1 shows how to mount the Product.

Level Marks
New Level or Grade Marks
To identify new level and grade marks:
1. Put the bottom of the Product on a stable surface. See Figure 5.
2. Place a mark at the level or grade point on the target area.
3. Repeat for each point as needed.
Note
When the Product is mounted on a tripod, make sure the tripod head is perfectly level. Errors in marks
can result if a tripod is out of level.

Existing Item Level Check
To determine if an existing item is level:
1. Point the horizontal laser at the target area.
2. Measure the distance from the item to the laser. See Figure 6.
3. Repeat step 3 at various distances from the Product.
If the measurements are the same from each distance from the Product, the condition is level.

Check Accuracy of the Product
Periodically check the accuracy of the Product.
To check the accuracy of the rotary laser:
1. Find a horizontal site that is almost level, preferably a concrete slab, that is ≥15.24 m (50 ft) wide from a wall
to use as a target. See Figure 7.
2. Place the Product 50 ft from the target with the control panel facing towards you.
3. Point the horizontal laser at the target.

Check Accuracy of the Product
4. Place a mark at the point where the horizontal laser intersects the target area.
5. Turn the Product 180 ° on its center so that the horizontal laser intersects with the target.
6. Place a mark at the point where the horizontal laser intersects the target area.
Figure 7. Level Accuracy
7. Measure the distance between mark and mark .
If the distances are the same, the laser is level.
8. If the distances are not the same, subtract the lesser measurement from the greater measurement.
If the distance is ≤2.2 mm at 30 m (≤3/32 in at 100 ft), the laser is within calibration accuracy. If the Product is
not within accuracy, contact Fluke. See How to Contact Fluke.

The power LED indicates the state of the Product:
• Does not emit light when the battery power is ≥20 % or when the battery power falls below the low battery
threshold. When the battery falls below the low battery threshold, the Product turns off.
• The battery LED Blinks red between 20 % battery power and the low battery threshold. The Product still
functions accurately.
Replace or charge the batteries when the battery LED blinks red.
To install or replace the batteries (see Figure 8):
