THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Bosch Power Tools
f Caution – The use of other operating or adjusting
equipment or the application of other processing methods than those mentioned here, can lead to dangerous
radiation exposure.
f The measuring tool is provided with a warning label in
English (marked with number 10 in the representation
of the measuring tool on the graphics page).
f Do not direct the laser beam at persons or animals and
do not stare into the laser beam yourself. This measuring tool produces laser class 2 laser radiation according to
IEC 60825-1. This can lead to persons being blinded.
f Do not use the laser viewing glasses as safety goggles.
The laser viewing glasses are used for improved visualisation of the laser beam, but they do not protect against laser
radiation.
f Do not use the laser viewing glasses as sun glasses or in

Assembly
Inserting/Replacing the Battery
Alkali-manganese batteries are recommended for the measuring tool.
To open the battery lid 9, slide the latch 8 in the direction of
the arrow and fold the battery lid up. Insert the batteries.
When inserting, pay attention to the correct polarity according to the representation on the inside of the battery lid.
When the batteries are low, the battery low indicator 3 flashes
red. Additionally, the laser beams flash for approx. 5 s every
10 minutes. When the flashing initially begins, the measuring
tool can be operated for approx. 1 more hour. When the batteries become empty, the laser beams flash one more time directly prior to the automatic shut-off.
Always replace all batteries at the same time. Only use batteries from one brand and with the identical capacity.
f Remove the batteries from the measuring tool when
not using it for extended periods. When storing for extended periods, the batteries can corrode and discharge
themselves.
Operation
Initial Operation
f Protect the measuring tool against moisture and direct
sun light.
f Do not subject the measuring tool to extreme temperatures or variations in temperature. As an example, do
not leave it in vehicles for long time. In case of large variations in temperature, allow the measuring tool to adjust to
the ambient temperature before putting it into operation.
In case of extreme temperatures or variations in temperature, the accuracy of the measuring tool can be impaired.
f Avoid heavy impact or falling of the measuring tool.
After heavy exterior impact on the measuring tool, an accuracy check should always be carried out before continuing
to work (see “Levelling Accuracy”).

f Switch the measuring tool off during transport. When
switching off, the levelling unit, which can be damaged in
case of intense movement, is locked.
Switching On and Off
To switch on the measuring tool, slide the On/Off switch 4 to
the “ on” position (when working without automatic levelling) or to the “ on” position (when working with automatic levelling). Immediately after switching on, the measuring
tool sends laser beams out of the exit openings 1.
f 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, slide the On/Off switch 4 to
the “off” position. When switching off, the levelling unit is
locked.
Deactivating the Automatic Shut-off
When no button on the measuring tool is pressed for approx.
30 minutes, the measuring tool automatically switches off to
save the batteries.
To switch on the measuring tool after automatic shut-off, either
slide the On/Off switch 4 to the “off” position and then switch
the measuring tool on again or press the operating mode button
2 once.
To deactivate the automatic shut-off, keep the operating
mode button 2 pressed for at least 3 s (while the measuring
tool is switched on). Deactivation of the automatic shut-off is
confirmed by brief flashing of the laser beams.
f Do not leave the switched on measuring tool unattended and switch the measuring tool off after use. Other
persons could be blinded by the laser beam.
To activate the automatic shut-off, switch the measuring tool
off and then on again.
Operating Modes
The measuring tool has several operating modes between
which you can switch at any time:
– Cross and point-line operation: The measuring tool generates a horizontal and a vertical laser line facing toward the
front as well as a vertical point beam each facing upward
and downward, and a horizontal point beam each facing
toward the front and to both sides.
– 5-point operation: The measuring tool generates a vertical
point beam each facing upward and downward, as well as
a horizontal point beam each facing toward the front and to
both sides.
– Horizontal line operation: The measuring tool generates a
horizontal laser line facing frontward.
– Vertical line operation: The measuring tool generates a vertical laser line facing frontward.
All point beams run at a 90° angle to each other; the laser
lines also cross each other at a 90° angle.
After switching on, the measuring tool is in cross-line and
point-line operation. To change the operating mode, press
the operating mode button 2.
All operating modes can be selected both with and without automatic levelling.
Bosch Power Tools
Automatic Levelling
Working with Automatic Levelling (see figures C–E)
Position the measuring tool on a level and firm support, attach
it to the holder 15 or to the tripod 16.
When working with automatic levelling, push the On/Off
switch 4 to the “ on” position.
After switching on, the automatic levelling function automatically compensates irregularities within the self-levelling range
of ±4°. The levelling is finished as soon as the laser points or
laser lines do not move any more.
If the automatic levelling function is not possible, e.g. because the surface on which the measuring tool stands deviates by more than 4° from the horizontal plane, the laser
beams flash. This alarm is deactivated within 10 s after
switching on, in order to allow adjustment of the measuring
tool.
Set up the measuring tool in level position and wait for the
self-levelling to take place. As soon as the measuring tool is
within the self-levelling range of ±4°, the laser beams light up
continuously.
In case of ground vibrations or position changes during operation, the measuring tool is automatically levelled in again. To
avoid errors by moving the measuring tool, check the position
of the laser beams with regard to the reference points upon
re-levelling.
Working without Automatic Levelling (see figure F)
For work without automatic levelling, push the On/Off switch
4 to the “ on” position. When the automatic levelling is
switched off, the laser lines flash continuously.
When automatic levelling is switched off, you can hold the
measuring tool freely in your hand or place it on an inclinded
surface. The laser beams no longer necessarily run vertical to
each other.
Levelling Accuracy
Influences on Accuracy
The ambient temperature has the greatest influence. Especially temperature differences occurring from the ground
upward can divert the laser beam.
As thermal fluctuation is largest close to the ground, the
measuring tool, if possible, should be mounted on a commercially available tripod and placed in the centre of the working
area.
Apart from exterior influences, device-specific influences
(such as heavy impact or falling down) can lead to deviations.
Therefore, check the accuracy of the measuring tool each
time before starting your work.
When the accuracy of the horizontal point beams is within the
maximum allowed deviation, then the accuracy of the vertical
point beams and the laser lines is thus also checked.
Should the measuring tool exceed the maximum deviation
during one of the tests, please have it repaired by a Bosch after-sales service.

Checking the Horizontal Levelling Accuracy of the Lateral
Axis
A free measuring distance of 20 m on a firm surface in front of
a wall is required for the check.
– Mount the measuring tool onto the holder or a tripod, or
place it on a firm and level surface at a distance of 20 m to
the wall. Switch the measuring tool on and select 5-point
operation.
Checking the Horizontal Levelling Accuracy of the Longitudinal Axis
A free measuring distance of 20 m on a firm surface between
two walls A and B is required for the check.
– Mount the measuring tool onto the holder or a tripod, or
place it on a firm and level surface close to wall A. Switch
the measuring tool on and select 5-point operation.

– Direct one of the two lateral laser beams, that run alongside the lateral axis of the measuring tool, at the wall. Allow
the measuring tool to level in. Mark the centre of the laser
beam on the wall (point I).
– Direct the horizontal laser beam, which runs parallel to the
longitudinal axis of the measuring tool, at the close wall A.
Allow the measuring tool to level in. Mark the centre of the
laser beam on the wall (point I).

– Turn the measuring tool around by 180°, allow it to level in
and mark the centre point of the laser beam on the opposite wall B (point II).
– Without turning the measuring tool, position it close to wall
B. Switch the measuring tool on and allow it to level in.
– Rotate the measuring tool by approx. 180° without changing its height. Allow it to level in and mark the centre point
of the other lateral laser beam on the wall (point II). Take
care that point II is as vertical as possible above or below
point I.
– The difference d of both marked points I and II on the wall
results in the actual height deviation of the measuring tool
alongside the lateral axis.
On the measuring distance of 2 x 20 m = 40 m, the maximum
allowable deviation is:
40 m x ±0.3 mm/m = ±12 mm.
Thus, the difference d between points I and II may not exceed
12 mm (max.).

– Align the height of the measuring tool (using the tripod or
by underlaying, if required) in such a manner that the centre point of the laser beam is projected exactly against the
previously marked point II on wall B.

d
– Rotate the measuring tool by 180° without changing the
height. Allow it to level in and mark the centre point of the
laser beam on wall A (point III). Take care that point III is
as vertical as possible above or below point I.
– The difference d of both marked points I and III on wall A
results in the actual height deviation of the measuring tool
alongside the Longitudinal axis.
On the measuring distance of 2 x 20 m = 40 m, the maximum
allowable deviation is: 40 m x ±0.3 mm/m = ±12 mm.
Thus, the difference d between points I and III may not exceed 12 mm (max.).
Working Advice
f For marking, always use only the centre of the laser
point or the laser line. The size of the laser point as well as
the width of the laser line change with distance.
Working with the Tripod (Accessory)
A tripod offers a stable, height-adjustable measuring support.
Position the measuring tool with the 1/4" tripod mount 7 onto
the thread of the tripod 16 or a commercially available camera tripod. For fastening to a commercially available construction tripod, use the 5/8" tripod mount 6. Tighten the measuring tool with the tripod mounting stud.
Adjust the tripod roughly before switching on the measuring
tool.
Fastening with the Universal Holder (Accessory)
With the universal holder 15, you can fasten the measuring
tool, e.g., to vertical surfaces, pipes or magnetizable materials.
The universal holder is also suitable for use as a ground tripod
and makes the height adjustment of the measuring tool easier.
Adjust the universal holder roughly before 15 switching on
the measuring tool.
Working with the Measuring Plate (Accessory)
(see figures A–B)
With the measuring plate 14, it is possible to project the laser
mark onto the floor or the laser height onto a wall.
With the zero field and the scale, the offset or drop to the
required height can be measured and projected at another
location. This eliminates the necessity of precisely adjusting
the measuring tool to the height to be projected.
The measuring plate 14 has a reflective coating that enhances
the visibility of the laser beam at greater distances or in
intense sunlight. The brightness intensification can be seen
only when viewing, parallel to the laser beam, onto the measuring plate.
Bosch Power Tools
Working with the Laser Target Plate
The laser target plate 13 increases the visibility of the laser
beam under unfavourable conditions and at large distances.
The reflective part of the laser target plate 13 improves the
visibility of the laser line. Thanks to the transparent part, the
laser line is also visible from the back side of the laser target
plate.
Laser Viewing Glasses (Accessory)
The laser viewing glasses filter out the ambient light. This
makes the red light of the laser appear brighter for the eyes.
f Do not use the laser viewing glasses as safety goggles.
The laser viewing glasses are used for improved visualisation of the laser beam, but they do not protect against laser
radiation.
f Do not use the laser viewing glasses as sun glasses or in
traffic. The laser viewing glasses do not afford complete
UV protection and reduce colour perception.
Work Examples (see figures C – F)
Applicational examples for the measuring tool can be found
on the graphics pages.
Always position the measuring tool close to the surface or
edge subject to checking, and allow it to level in prior to each
measurement.
Always measure the distances between laser beam or laser
line and a surface or edge at two points as far as possible away
from each other (e.g. with the measurment plate 14).
Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and Cleaning
Store and transport the measuring tool only in the supplied
case.
Keep the measuring tool clean at all times.
Do not immerse the measuring tool in water or other fluids.
Wipe off debris using a moist and soft cloth. Do not use any
cleaning agents or solvents.
Regularly clean the surfaces at the exit opening of the laser in
particular, and pay attention to any fluff of fibres.
If the measuring tool should fail despite the care taken in manufacturing and testing procedures, repair should be carried
out by an authorised after-sales service centre for Bosch
power tools. Do not open the measuring tool yourself.
In all correspondence and spare parts orders, please always
include the 10-digit article number given on the type plate of
the measuring tool.
For repairs, only send in the measuring tool in the case.
