LASER SAFETY
•
WARNING
The device produces visible laser
beams, which are emitted from the
tool.
• This device complies with 21 CFR 1040.10 and
1040.11 except for conformance with IEC 60825-1
Ed. 3., as described in Laser Notice No. 56, dated
May 8, 2019.
•
Laser light - Do not stare into beam or view
directly with optical instruments. Do not point
laser light at others.
Laser light can cause eye
damage.
WORK AREA SAFETY
• Ensure adequate safeguards at the work site
(e.g., surveying site when measuring on roads,
construction sites, etc.).
•
Avoid dangerous environments.
Avoid extended
exposure to rain, snow, damp or wet locations. Do
not use in the presence of explosive atmospheres
(gaseous fumes, dust or flammable materials).
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Do not allow persons unfamiliar with the tool,
these safety instructions, and the tool's opera-
tor's manual to operate the tool.
This tool can be
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
This enables better control
of the tool in unexpected situations.
BATTERY USE AND CARE
•
This tool is designed to be powered by 4-AA
batteries properly inserted into the tool.
Do not
attempt to use with any other voltage or power supply.
•Do not leave batteries within the reach of children.
•Do not mix new and used batteries. Do not mix
brands (or types within brands) of batteries.
•Do not mix rechargeable and non-rechargeable
batteries.
• Install batteries according to polarity (+ / –)
diagrams.
• Properly dispose of used batteries immediately.
• Do not incinerate or dismantle batteries.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery, avoid contact. If contact ac
-
cidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation
or burns.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR
LASER LEVELS
•
Watch out for erroneous results if the tool is
defective or if it has been dropped, misused or
modified.
•
Do not dispose of tool or batteries together with
household waste material!
Tool and batteries that
have reached the end of their life must be collected
separately and returned to an environmentally
compatible recycling facility.
•
Maintain labels and nameplates.
These carry
important information. If unreadable or missing,
contact Empire for a free replacement.
•
The device conforms to the most stringent
requirements of the relevant Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC) Standards and Regulations.
Yet, the possibility of causing interference in other
devices cannot be totally excluded.
•
CAUTION
Use of controls or adjustments or
performance of procedures other
than those specified herein may result in hazard
-
ous radiation exposure.
•
Be sure to power off instrument after use.
When
instrument will not be used for a long period, place
it in storage after removing batteries.
Federal Communications Commission
WARNING
Changes or modifications to
this unit not expressly ap-
proved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful in-
terference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio or televi-
sion reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.

ASSEMBLY
Changing the Battery
Only use alkaline batteries. Do not use zinc-carbon
batteries. If the laser will not be used for a long
time, remove the batteries as a protection against
corrosion.
Change batteries when the battery indication begins
flashing. To change the batteries:
1. Lift latch to open battery door.
2. Insert four AA batteries according to the +/- polarity
marked in the compartment.
3. Install the battery door securely.
Low Battery Indication
To indicate low battery (about 30 minutes of battery
life remaining*), the laser lights will flash 3 times
every 4 seconds. The low battery indicator flashing
will continue until the batteries are removed and
replaced.
During self-leveling, the out-of-level indicator (flash
-
ing 3 times per second) will override the low battery
indictor.
*Battery life may vary by brand/age. Replace the
batteries as soon as possible.
OPERATION
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury or tem-
porary effects on vision, do not
look directly into the laser when it is on.
CAUTION
Use of controls or adjustments or
performance of procedures other
than those specified herein may result in hazard
-
ous radiation exposure.
NOTICE
Perform the Accuracy Field Check
procedure immediately upon unboxing
of each new Laser Level and before exposure to
jobsite conditions. See "Accuracy Field Check"
for information.
Turning On/Off
To turn on the laser and unlock the pendulum, slide
the On/Off switch to
ON
. The 3 laser points will
immediately be emitted from the laser apertures.
WARNING!
Do not look directly into the laser when
it is on.
To turn off the laser and lock the pendulum, slide the
On/Off switch to
OFF
. When not in use, turn off
the tool and store the Laser Level in the protective
carrying case.
Using the Laser Level
1. For best results, place the tool on a work surface
that is:
• sturdy
•
level (within 4 degrees of true level)
• free of vibrations
2. Turn on the tool.
3. The tool will self-level when placed on surfaces
within 4 degrees of true level.
4.
The tool is ready once the emitted dots are con-
tinuous and no longer moving on the work surface.
5. If the tool cannot achieve a level state (i.e., the
work surface is > 4 degrees off true level), the laser
points will flash rapidly (3 flashes per second).
Relocate or adjust the work surface.
