User Safety

WARNING:

• Carefully read the Safety Instructions and Product Manual before using this product.

The person responsible for the instrument must ensure that all users understand and adhere to these instructions.

CAUTION:

• While the laser tool is in operation, be careful not to expose your eyes to the emitting laser beam . Exposure to a laser beam for an extended time may be hazardous to your eyes.

CAUTION:

• Glasses may be supplied in some of the laser tool kits. These are NOT certiﬁed safety glasses. These glasses are ONLY used to enhance the visibilty of the beam in brighter environments or at greater distances from laser source.

Retain all sections of the manual for future reference.

WARNING:

• The following label samples are placed on your laser tool to inform of the laser class for your convenience and safety. Please reference the Product Manual for the speciﬁcs on a particular product model.

Batteries and Power

Battery Installation / Removal

(See ﬁgure F and G to reference battery location of laser tool and remote control)

Laser Tool (See ﬁgure

)

• Press tabs to open battery compartment and slide out.

• Install / Remove batteries. Orient batteries correctly when placing into laser tool.

• Securely close and lock battery compartment cover.

IR Remote Controller (See ﬁgure

)

• Open battery compartment by sliding cover off.

• Install / Remove batteries. Orient batteries correctly when placing into laser tool.

• Securely close and lock battery compartment cover.

WARNING:

• Pay close attention to the battery holder’s (+) and (-) markings for proper battery insertion. Batteries must be of same type and capacity. Do not use a combination of batteries with different capacities remaining.

Charging Battery

• For best life, the rechargeable battery must be charged for 4 hours before ﬁrst use.

• Plug charging / power adapter plug into charging jack of laser tool

• Plug charging / power adapter into power outlet (110 V or 220 V) with appropriate plug receptacle.

• The LED on the charging / power adapter will light RED during charge.

• Leave battery to charge for approximately 4 hours to reach full charge.

• When battery is fully charged unplug the charging / power adapter from laser tool and power outlet.

• The LED on the charging / power adapter will light GREEN when charge is complete.

WARNING:

• Use charging / power adapter only with Ni-MH battery pack supplied. Charging any other type of battery may result in damage and/or personal harm.

WARNING:

• The battery and charging / power adapter can be damaged if damp. Always store and charge the tool in a dry and covered place.

NOTE:

• For best battery life, it is recommended to charge the battery once it has been fully discharged and avoid letting charge for > 10 hours at a time.

Operating with Charging / Power Adapter

• Laser tool can operate while plugged into charging / power adapter.

• Functions and controls of laser tool are the same as when not plugged into charging / power adapter.

Set Up

Positioning

(See Feature Set to reference which models offer AutoLevelling in the given positions)

Horizontal Position (See ﬁgure A)

• Place laser tool down on its bottom. Be sure surface is

near level. Press

to power ON.

Vertical Position (See ﬁgure B)

• Place laser tool down on its side, handle facing up. Be

sure surface is near level. Press

to power ON.

77-496 / 77-429 / 77-439 / 77-497 / 77-427 / 77-441

At Angle

• Press

to power ON. Press and hold to turn ON Manual Mode. Laser tool can now be positioned to various angles with auto-levelling mode OFF.

NOTE:

• To change between horizontal and vertical positions the laser tool must be powered OFF, repositioned, and then powered ON in the new position.

Mounting on Accessories

Mounting Bracket (See ﬁgure J)

• Securely position wall bracket in a location to be measured.

• Visually orient the bracket mounting surface so that it is near horizontal.

• Mount the laser tool to the bracket and tighten the tightening knob.

Tripod Mount (See ﬁgure K)

• Position a tripod in a place where it will not be easily disturbed and near the central location of the area to be measured.

• Extend tripod legs as required. Adjust leg positioning to be sure tripod head is near horizontal.

• Mount the laser tool to the tripod by pushing up the 5/8 center screw and tighten.

CAUTION:

• Do not leave the laser tool unattended on an accessory without fully tightening the center screw. Failing to do so may lead to the laser tool falling and sustaining possible damage.

NOTE:

• Either dome head, ﬂat head or elevator type tripod can be used with the laser tool.

• It is best practice to always support laser tool with one hand when placing or removing laser tool from an accessory.

• If positioning over a target, partially tighten the 5/8 screw mount, align laser tool, and then fully tighten the 5/8 screw mount.

Sighting Telescope (RL HGW)

(The Alignment Sight on the top cover of the laser tool can be used for models that do not include the Sighting Telescope)

Mounting and Use (See ﬁgure

)

• Loosen both locking screws on sighting telescope. Guide scope onto the mount base located on top of the laser tool with the objective (smaller end) towards the target (

). Securely tighten the locking screws (

• Remove the lens covers from the scope and roughly aim the laser tool / scope towards the target.

• Look through the eyepiece (larger end) and turn the reticle focus until the reticle (cross hair) is sharp and clearly visible.

• Look through the eyepiece to align the vertical line of the reticle with target. Adjust the distance between the eye and eyepiece to focus the target.

NOTE:

• Use of the alignment sight / sighting telescope is to accurately align and square the laser tool to a target when setting a slope for grade applications.

• The sighting telescope has been sighted-in by the manufacturer and should not require any additional adjustments. DO NOT attempt to adjust the windage and elevation of the sighting telescope. Doing so may cause inaccuracies in sighting the target and alignment of the laser tool.

Accuracy Check and Calibration

NOTE:

• See Feature Set to reference which models offer speciﬁc

functions.

• The laser tools are sealed and calibrated at the factory to the accuracies speciﬁed.

• It is recommended to perform a calibration check prior to its ﬁrst use and then periodically during future use.

• Be sure to allow the laser tool adequate time to Auto-Level (< 60 seconds) prior to a calibration check.

• The laser tool should be checked regularly to ensure its accuracies, especially for precise layouts.

Horizontal Check (See Figure

)

• Set the laser tool on a tripod 20 m away from a wall with the ”X1” side facing the wall (

• Power ON the laser tool and allow the laser tool to Auto-Level and be sure laser is rotating.

• Go to the wall and mark a reference point “D

” where the laser line is on the wall. If available, using a detector may help in locating the beam more easily.

• Loosen the laser tool from the tripod and rotate the laser tool 180° so that the “X2” side is now facing the wall (

• Go back to the wall and measure the distance between the ﬁrst reference point “D

” and the second reference

point “D

ﬂoor 1 m away from wall), “B “ (where laser beam is at corner), and “D1” (where laser beam is 2 m up the wall).

• Rotate the laser tool 180° so that the “Y2” side is now facing the wall (

• Align the laser beam with reference points “A” and “B” and then go back to the wall and measure the distance between the reference point “D

” and “D2” (

• There is no need to adjust calibration if the distance between reference point “D

” and “D2” is < 1,0 mm.
