ASSEMBLY

Inserting/Replacing the Batteries

Alkali-manganese batteries are recommended for 
the measuring tool.
To open the battery lid 

10

. Insert the batteries pro-

vided. When inserting, pay attention to the correct 
polarity according to the representation on the 
inside of the battery compartment.
Always replace all batteries at the same time. Only 
use batteries from one brand and with the identi-
cal capacity.

• 

Remove the batteries from the measuring tool 
when not using it for extended periods. When 
storing for extended periods, the batteries can 
corrode and self-discharge.

OPERATION

Initial Operation

• 

Protect the measuring tool against moisture and 
direct sun light.

• 

Do not subject the measuring tool to extreme 
temperatures or variations in temperature. 
As an example, do not leave it in vehicles for 
longer periods. In case of large variations in 
temperature, allow the measuring tool to adjust 
to the ambient temperature before putting it 
into operation.

• 

Avoid heavy impact to or falling down of the 
measuring tool. Damage to the measuring tool 
can impair its accuracy. 

• 

Switch the measuring tool off during transpor-
tation. 

Switching On and Off

To switch on the measuring tool in line operation, 
push the On/Off switch 

1

 forward. To switch on 

the measuring tool in point operation, push the 
On/Off switch 

1

 back.

Immediately after switching on, the measuring 
tool sends a laser beam out of outlet opening 

5

(line operation) or 

6 

(point operation), depending 

on the selected operating mode.

• 

Do not point the laser beam at persons or 
animals and do not look into the laser beam 
yourself, not even from a large distance.

To switch off the measuring tool, push the on/off 
switch 

1

 to the centre position.

• 

Do not leave the switched on tool unattended 
and switch the tool off after use. Other persons 
could be blinded by the laser beam.

When not using the measuring tool, switch it off 
in order to extend the battery life.

Levelling Functions
Note:

 The specified levelling accuracy applies for 

the alignment of the laser beam with reference to 
the spirit levels 

3

 and 

4

.

If spirit level leaks, soak up with appropriate ab-
sorbent material and dispose of safely. Spirit levels 
contain flammable liquid that may cause respira-
tory tract, eye and skin irritation.

Position the Tool (see figure B)

For precise alignment with the spirit levels, the 

position of the tool is important.

The specified levelling accuracy is only achieved 

when the tool is correctly positioned:

For horizontal alignment with spirit level 

4

, the 

laser outlet opening for line operation 

5

 must be 

horizontal and the aluminium supporting surface 

2 

of the measuring tool must face downward.

For vertical alignment with spirit level 

3

, the laser 

outlet opening for line operation 

5

 must face 

upward and the aluminium supporting surface 

2

of the measuring tool must face sideward. 

Alignment with Laser (Line Operation)

Fasten the measuring tool to wall holder 

13

 (see 

“Fastening/Aligning with the wall holder”), place 

it against a wall or fasten it to an other magnetic 

surface with the magnets 

9

.

Horizontal Alignment (see fig. C-D): 
The laser outlet opening for line operation

 5

 must 

be horizontal and the aluminium supporting sur-
face 

2 

of the measuring tool must face downward. 

Horizontally align the measuring tool with spirit 
level 

4

. As an example, you can align picture 

frames or shelves alongside the horizontal laser 
line.

Note:

 Horizontal alignment with the laser line is 

only possible on the surface, against which the 
measuring tool was placed. Even when the meas-
uring tool was aligned with the spirit level, the 
laser line on a transverse wall does not necessarily 
run horizontal, and is thus not suitable for level-
ling.
Vertical Alignment (see fig. D): 
The laser outlet opening for line operation 

5 

must 

face upward and the aluminium supporting sur-
face 

2

 of the measuring tool must face sideward. 

Vertically align the measuring tool with spirit level 

3

. As an example, you can align top and base 

cabinets alongside the vertical laser line. 
Alignment Off of Reference Points (see fig. E):  
Turn the measuring tool to any required angle in 
order to align the laser line alongside your refer-
