GENERAL SAFETY RULES

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

1. Use battery operated rotary level with alkaline batteries only. Use of

any other batteries may permanently damage the rotary level.

PERSONAL SAFETY

1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a laser. Do not use rotary level while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while

operating a laser may result in personal injury.

2. Use safety equipment. Eye protection, dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

3. Prolonged eye contact with laser beams can cause eye irritation and injury to the eye. Never stare direcly into beam or view with optical

instruments. Avoid prolonged eye contact with laser beams. Laser beam contact with the eyes can also cause temporary flash blindness, which can cause the user to be distracted, which can lead to accidents.

4. Do not aim the laser beams at others.

TOOL USE AND CARE

1. Do not use rotary level if switch does not turn it on or off. A laser that

cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

2. Store idle rotary level out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Rotary level should only be used by trained users.

3. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one rotary level may create

a risk of injury when used on another rotary level.

SERVICE

1. Rotary Level service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel may

result in a risk of injury.

2. When servicing a rotary level, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance Section of this manual. Use of

unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

1. Be aware that the rotary level is always in an operating condition, because it does not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet. Always set

the switch to the “OFF” position when installing or removing the batteries.

2. IMPORTANT: These labels are attached to every rotary level. They are not to be removed or defaced.

CAUTION: Use of controls, adjustments or procedures other than those

specified herein may result in laser radiation exposure.

4. AVOID EXPOSURE: Laser radiation is emitted from this aperture.

5. WARNING: There are certain applications for which this rotary level was designed. Porter-Cable strongly recommends that this rotary level

NOT be modified and/or used for any application other than for which it was designed. If you have any questions relative to its application DO NOT use the rotary level until you have written Porter-Cable and we have advised you.

OPERATION

Quick Guide to Using Rotary Level

The One Minute Set-Up

1. Set the Base Unit up on a tripod or any surface that is within 10° of level.

There are two tripod mounts built into the bottom of the Adjusting Base - a 5/8" x 11 (standard transit level tripod) and 1/4" x 20 (camera-type tripod).

2. Extend the Antenna on the base unit by pulling up gently.

The Antenna extends 16".

3. Slide the On/Off switch on the Base Unit up. The LED will light up for two seconds to let you know the Base Unit is on. (The laser will not come on until you turn the Remote Control on) If the LED does not light, check to make sure

the Lens Cover is all the way up. If the LED is still not lit, you need to change the batteries in the Base Unit.

4. Turn the laser on by sliding the On/Off switch on the Remote Control down so that the laser symbol is exposed.

5. The laser and LED will blink on and off if the Base Unit is out-of-level. If this occurs, roughly level out the Base Unit by moving it on the Adjusting Base until the laser stops blinking. Rotary Level is self-leveling within a +/-10°

range.

6. Using the Remote Control, rotate the base unit a full 360° (preferably on medium speed - the second arrow in from either side of the Remote Control). If the laser or LED blinks at any time during this rotation stop and adjust the Base Unit on its Adjusting Base until the laser stops blinking, then repeat your 360° rotation from that point.

Laser Auto Shutdown Feature

The laser in the Base Unit has an auto-shutdown feature to extend battery life. THE LASER WILL SHUT OFF AFTER FIVE MINUTES OF INACTIVITY. Prior to shutdown, the laser and LED will blink quickly twice, pause, then blink quickly twice again. To turn the laser back on, you must turn the Remote Control off and then on again (slide the On/Off switch up and then down again).

Turning Rotary Level Off

8. Slide the On/Off switch on the Remote Control up so that the laser symbol is no longer visible.

9. On the Base Unit, slide the On/Off switch down. Unless the On/Off switch is down, the Base Unit is not completely shut off and will continue to drain battery power. The On/Off switch also locks down the (pendulum) self-leveling mechanism for stability during transport.

Rotate 360°to make sure the laser does not blink, and you're set to go!
