OBJ_BUCH-807-002.book Page 12 Tuesday, September 30, 2008 1:13 PMEnglish | 13 Bosch Power Tools 1 609 929 S08 | (30.9.08) Operation Initial Operation f Protect the measuring tool against mois- ture and direct sun irradiation. f Do not subject the measuring tool to ex- treme temperatures or variations in tem- perature. As an example, do not leave it in vehicles for longer periods. In case of large variations in temperature, allow the measur- ing tool to adjust to the ambient temperature before putting it into operation. In case of extreme temperatures or variations in tem- perature, the accuracy of the measuring tool can be impaired. f Avoid heavy impact or falling of the measur- ing 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 trans- port. 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, push the On/Off switch 4 upward so that “I” is indicated on the switch. Immediately after switching on, the measuring tool sends a laser beam out of each exit opening 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, push the On/Off switch 4 downward so that “0” is indi- cated on the switch. When switching off, the lev- elling unit is locked. Setting the Automatic Switch-off By default, the measuring tool automatically shuts off 20 minutes after being switched on. The automatic switch-off can be set from 20 min- utes to 8 hours. For this, switch the measuring tool on, then immediately off, and then on again within 4 s. To confirm the change, all laser beams will flash quickly for 2 s after switching on the second time. 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. When switching on the measuring tool the next time, the automatic switch-off is set to 20 min- utes again. Working with Automatic Levelling Position the measuring tool on a level and firm support, attach it to the holder 8 or to the tripod 18. After switching on, the automatic levelling func- tion automatically compensates irregularities within the self-levelling range from ± 5° (longi- tudinal axis) and ± 3° (lateral axis). The levelling is finished as soon as the laser points 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 5° or 3° from the horizontal plane, the laser beams flash rapid- ly. In this case, bring the measuring tool to the level position and wait for the self-levelling to take place. As soon as the measuring tool is with- in the self-levelling range of ±5° or ±3° respec- tively, all laser beams light up continuously again. In case of ground vibrations or position changes during operation, the measuring tool is automati- cally 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.

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. 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 A free measuring distance of 20 m on a firm sur- face 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 sur- face close to wall A. Switch the measuring tool on. – Direct the horizontal laser beam against the close wall A and 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. – 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.

OBJ_BUCH-807-002.book Page 14 Tuesday, September 30, 2008 1:13 PMEnglish | 15 Bosch Power Tools 1 609 929 S08 | (30.9.08) – 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 indicates the actual height deviation of the measuring tool. 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.). Checking the Vertical Levelling Accuracy For this check, a free measuring distance of approx. 5 m between floor and ceiling on a firm surface is required. – Draw a straight line on the ceiling. – Mount the measuring tool to the holder or a tripod. Switch the measuring tool on and rotate it in such a manner that the bottom plumb beam can be seen on the floor. – Position the measuring tool in such a manner that the upper plumb beam points against the line on the ceiling. Allow the measuring tool to level in. Mark the centre of the upper laser point on the line on the ceiling (point I). Also, mark the centre of the laser point on the floor (point II). – Rotate the measuring tool by 180°. Position it in such a manner that the centre of the bot- tom laser point is directed on the already marked point II and the upper laser point is directed against the line on the ceiling. Allow the measuring tool to level in. Mark the cen- tre of the upper laser point on the line on the ceiling (point III). – The difference d of both marked points I and III on the ceiling results in the actual devia- tion of the measuring tool to the plumb line. On the measuring distance of 2 x 5 m = 10 m, the maximum allowable deviation is: 10 m x ± 0.3 mm/m = ± 3 mm. Thus, the difference d between points I and III must not exceed 3 mm (max.).

OBJ_BUCH-807-002.book Page 15 Tuesday, September 30, 2008 1:13 PM16 | English 1 609 929 S08 | (30.9.08) Bosch Power Tools Working Advice f Always use the centre of the laser point for marking. The size of the laser point changes with the distance. Attaching with the Holder To fasten the measuring tool on the holder 8, screw the locking screw 9 of the holder into the 1/4" tripod mount 6 on the measuring tool and tighten. To rotate the measuring tool on the holder, slightly loosen the screw 9. – Rotate the measuring tool on the holder 8 sideward or toward the rear to make the bottom plumb beam visible. – Rotate the measuring tool on the holder 8 to project heights with the horizontal laser beam. With the holder 8, the measuring tool can be attached as follows: – Mount the holder 8 to the tripod 18 or a com- mercially available camera tripod via the 1/4" tripod mount 13. For fastening to a commer- cially available construction tripod, use the 5/8" tripod mount 14. –The holder 8 can be fastened to steel parts via the magnets 12. –The holder 8 can be fastened to drywalls or wood walls with screws. For this, insert screws with a minimum length of 50 mm into the screw holes 10 of the holder. – The holder 8 can also be fastened to pipes or similar beams using a commercially available strap by threading it through the opening 11 for strap attachment. Working with the Tripod (Accessory) A tripod 18 offers a stable, height-adjustable measuring support. Place the measuring tool via the tripod mount 6 onto the 1/4" male thread of the tripod and screw the locking screw of the tripod tight. Working with the Measuring Plate (Accessory) With the measuring plate 15, 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 elimi- nates the necessity of precisely adjusting the measuring tool to the height to be projected. The measuring plate 15 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. 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 glass- es do not afford complete UV protection and reduce colour perception. Maintenance and Service Maintenance and Cleaning Store and transport the measuring tool only in the supplied protective case. Keep the measuring tool clean at all times. Do not immerse the measuring tool into 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.
