Public

Mode

The laser unit can receive commands from any

WALT laser remote control, and even from

some other brands of laser remote controls.
This is the normal, default operating mode for
the DW079 laser unit.

To activate Public Mode:

•

Press and hold the speed/rotation button
(f) (open padlock symbol beside the
button).

•

As the default operating mode, the laser
unit will power up in Public Mode if:

•

The laser was last used in Public Mode

•

The laser has been turned off for 8
hours after being used in Private Mode

•

The battery pack has been removed
and reinstalled.

Private

Mode

The laser unit will only accept commands from

the remote control designated by the user.

To activate Private Mode:

•

Press and hold the scan mode button
(g) on the laser unit control panel (closed
padlock symbol) and

at the same time

press and hold the remote control scan
mode button (s) (closed padlock symbol).

After 4 seconds, both the laser unit
and the remote control will enter Private
Mode. As confirmation, the laser unit will
beep and the laser control panel LED (m)
(next to the closed padlock symbol) and
the remote control LED (u) (next to the
closed padlock symbol) will flash.

No Remote Mode

This mode causes the laser unit to ignore all

remote control commands.

To activate No Remote Mode:

•

Press and hold the scan mode button
(g) on the laser unit control panel (closed
padlock symbol), but

do not

press any

button on the remote control.

After 4 seconds, the laser unit will beep
and the LED (m) next to the padlock
symbol will flash.

Wireless Remote Control (ﬁ g. 1)

The remote control allows one person to operate
and set up the laser from a distance. The remote
control features a power button (n), manual mode
button (o), four arrows (p, q), speed/rotation button
(r) and scan mode button (s). Two LED indicator
lights are on the remote control: transmit (t) and
private mode (u).

REMOTE CONTROL: POWER BUTTON

Press the remote control power button (n) to put the
laser unit into Sleep Mode. In Sleep Mode all laser
unit functions shut off except for a periodic blink
from the power LED (j) on the control panel of the
laser unit. Press the remote control power button
again to “wake up” the laser unit.

NOTE:

To completely power the laser unit off,

the power button on the control panel of the
laser unit must be pressed. The laser unit will also
automatically power off if it is left in Sleep Mode for
8 hours.

REMOTE CONTROL: MANUAL MODE BUTTON

To activate Manual Mode, press and hold the remote
control manual mode button (o) for 3 seconds.
Manual Mode must be activated to use manual
sloping. (Refer to

Using Manual Slope Mode

for a

complete description of this function.)

To re-engage full self-leveling, press and hold the
manual mode button again for 3 seconds.

Using Manual Slope Mode:

The DW079 Manual Slope Mode allows the

self-leveling function to be disabled in one axis
(direction) so that the laser can be sloped in that
axis. The other axis will continue to self-level,
ensuring that the laser beam is only sloping in
the expected direction.

Entering and exiting Manual Slope Mode:

•

To activate Manual Slope Mode, press
and hold the remote control manual
mode button (o) for 3 seconds.

•

To re-engage full self-leveling, press and
hold the manual mode button again for
3 seconds.

Setting the Slope Direction:

•

When Manual Slope Mode is activated,
the unit automatically engages Manual
Y Mode. This allows the operator to slope
the laser in the direction of the Y-axis,
as indicated by the “gunsights” on the
rollcage.

In certain situations, it may be desirable to
slope the laser in the X-axis. The direction
of Manual Slope Mode can be changed
