Although the WLA08 is very simple to use, we recommend that you
read this manual before operating the laser.
1.1 Description
The WLA08 is an automatic visible laser that can be used for level-
ing, vertical alignment, plumb, and squaring. Applications include

alignment work.
The WLA08 laser has these advanced features:
• Automatic self-leveling in both horizontal and vertical modes
• Motorized mount speeds setup for ceilings and partitions
• Manual leveling in X and Y axes for dual slope setting (± 10%)
• Semi-automatic single axis slope setting (automatic leveling in X
and manual leveling in Y)
• Ability to match slope for inclined planes greater than 10%
• Choice of beams, including scanning and chalk line
• Square shot that’s left and right adjustable
• Easy electronic calibration
1.2 Safety
The WLA08 is a Class 3R laser, manufactured to comply with the
international rules of safety IEC 60825-1, 2001. Although the
power of the emission of the beam is less than 5mW in Class 3R,
