5. The Laser Level will work properly if it is
positioned within its self-leveling range.
2. Be sure to set the Laser on as flat a surface as
possible. The tri-brack adjustment on the base
of the level can be used to help level the unit.
(Turn each of the knobs to either raise or
lower that corner.) The self-leveling range of
the Laser is within ± 6°. Use the 2 Vials on
the base to verify that the base is level.
6. Allow 4-6 seconds for the horizontal
and vertical Laser lines to be stabilized.
After stabilization, the Laser lines can be used for
measurement reference. Laser lines may swing
slightly due to vibration from surroundings.
7. To prevent damage to the level, tighten the
pendulum lock (see Figure 1 on page 3)
after use and store in the carrying case.
NOTICE: If the pendulum lock is not engaged
before movement, the level may be damaged.

Accuracy Checking
Maintenance and Servicing
NOTE: Due to the complicated, sensitive
nature of these procedures, ordinarily only a
qualified technician would attempt them.
Procedures not specifically explained
in this manual must be performed
only by a qualified technician.
Level Beam Accuracy
1. Set up the instrument with the Tripod centered
between two walls approximately 16 ft. apart.
Ensure the Rotary Base is level.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY
FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION:
Turn Line Buttons off before performing any
inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.
2. Push the Pendulum Lock to the right to free

TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY
FROM TOOL FAILURE:
Do not use damaged equipment.
If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have
the problem corrected before further use.
3. Press both the horizontal and vertical buttons to
project a laser cross on wall A. Mark point a at

the intersection of the beams. Turn the cross line
laser 180° and repeat on wall B, marking point b
at the intersection of the beams, see Figure 4.
