Z_ WARNgNG:

The use of optical instruments such as, but not limited

to, telescopes

or transits to view the laser beam will increase eye hazard.

This level has a built-in laser light. The laser is a Class Ilia and emits output power of a maximum 2.5 mW and 635-665 nm wavelengths° These lasers do not normally present an optical hazard, However, DO NOT stare at the beam as this can cause flash blindness.

CAUTION

The following label is on your tool. It indicates where the

level emits the laser light. BE AWARE of the laser light location when using.

ALWAYS MAKE SURE that any bystanders in the vicinity of use are made aware of the dangers of looking directly into the laser.

WARNING:

LASER LIGHT, LASER RADIATION. Avoid Direct Eye

Exposure. DO NOT stare into beam. Only turn laser beam on when the level

is on the work surface.

POWER BUTTON AND LCD DISPLAY

Press the Power button to turn the LCD display screen on_ When the screen first comes on, the temperature is displayed in Fahrenheit for about 2 seconds, to indicate if level is being used in optimum operating temperature range.

The current angle of the level is then displayed, and a picture of that angle is shown

either

above or below the line for true level (see Fig,. 2). An arrow on the display indicates if the level has to be moved up or down.

True level is reached when the two lines are together and the angle shows 0 °

(see Fig. % Turn off by pressing and holding the button in for about 2 seconds.

If not used for 5 minutes the level automatically turns off. The LCD display is large and easy to read° When the level is turned upside down, the LCD screen senses and changes to read correctly in the inverted position,

HORIZONTAL

Use the level on horizontal surfaces to true them up. The level's bubble vials will show when you have the surface level. The bubbles will be exactly in between the marks on the vialo

Once the Power button is turned on, lay the level on the surface you want to level.

The LCD display will show the surface you are measuring as a line either above or below the true level line, and the degree to which the surface is off, with an arrow showing whether the surface should be raised or lowered in order to be leveled°

The LCD display also gives the degree to which the surface is off.. To level, move the surface with the level on it until the two lines on the readout match and the readout says 0 ° for the angle (Fig.. 3).

If the beeper is activated, the beeper will sound when the level is at level

PLUMB cont. (Fig. 5)

The LCD display shows the surface with the level on it as a line, and true plumb as another line either to the left or right of the line for plumb, and the degree to with the surface is off, with an arrow showing whether to move the surface to the left or right. If the beeper button is on, the level will beep when true plumb or 90 ° is reached.

PITCH (Fig. 6)

The digital laser level can be used to measure the pitch of a roof,, It measures the pitch in inches of rise per foot of run. Push the conversion button to change angle to pitch°

The pitch will be read as inches per foot in 1/8-in° increments, with a + or a - sign to

indicate if the pitch is above or below the desired measurement.

Fig. 7

ANGLE (Fig. 7 )

The digital laser level measures any angle in degrees with up to 0.10 accuracy.

This can be used to find the necessary angle for many surfaces, and when the conversion button is pushed to display angle, will tell you the angle and which way it is off of true level, tf the beeper button is turned on, the level will beep at 0 ° angle.

Level the work surface, and the laser will project the level up to 300-feet away to enable you to level large areas.

(This range is only applicable at night or dark environment.)
