Frequently Asked Questions - SCL STANLEY

How to turn on and off the Stanley SCL laser level?

Press the ON/OFF button to turn on. To turn off, press repeatedly until OFF mode is selected or hold the button for ≥ 3 seconds.

What type of batteries to use and how to install them?

Use 3 AA alkaline batteries. Slide open the battery cover, insert the batteries respecting polarity (+/-), then close.

What is the pulse mode used for?

Pulse mode allows using the tool with an external laser detector to increase range or work outdoors. Press the pulse mode button to activate it.

How to check the accuracy of the laser level?

Follow the verification procedures in the manual: level beam test (figure K), horizontal (L), vertical (M) and plumb/decline (N). Use the formulas to calculate maximum offset. If out of limits, return the tool for calibration.

What does the flashing red light mean?

A flashing red light indicates low batteries. Replace batteries quickly. A steady red light indicates batteries are discharged.

How to use the pendulum lock?

The pendulum lock (or transport lock) must be unlocked for self-leveling. When locked, the tool can be manually tilted to project lines at any angle, but accuracy is not guaranteed.

Can I mount the laser on a tripod?

Yes, the tool has threaded mounts 1/4-20 and 5/8-11. Secure it by screwing the tripod center screw. Tighten well to prevent falling.

What safety precautions should be observed?

Do not stare directly into the laser beam (class 2). Avoid prolonged eye exposure. The provided glasses are not certified safety glasses.

How to clean the laser level?

Use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use solvents. Clean the laser windows carefully. Store the tool in its case at room temperature.

What to do if the tool does not self-level?

Check that the pendulum lock is unlocked. If the red light flashes, it indicates the compensation range is exceeded. Reposition the tool on a more level surface.

Applications

Plumb / Point Transfer

• Using the vertical laser beam, establish a vertical reference plane.
• Position the desired object(s) until they are aligned with the vertical reference plane to ensure object(s) are plumb.

(SCL-D only):

• Establish 2 reference points that need to be plumb.
• Align either the down laser beam or the up laser beam to a set reference point.
• The opposing laser beam(s) will be projecting a point which is plumb.
• Position the desired object until the laser beam is aligned with the second reference point that needs to be plumb with the set reference point.

Level / Point Transfer

• Using the horizontal laser beam, establish a horizontal reference plane.
• Position the desired object(s) until they are aligned with the horizontal reference plane to ensure object(s) are level.

Square

• Using the vertical and horizontal laser beams, establish a point where the 2 beams cross.
• Position the desired object(s) until they are aligned with both the vertical and horizontal laser beams to ensure object(s) are square.

Pulse Mode (See Figure Ⓗ)

- Setting laser tool to pulse mode allows use with optional laser detectors.

Manual Mode (See Figures F and J)

- Disables self-levelling function and allows laser unit to project a rigid laser beam in any orientation.

Accuracy Check and Calibration

NOTE:

• The laser tools are sealed and calibrated at the factory to the accuracies specified.
• It is recommended to perform a calibration check prior to its first use and then periodically during future use.
• The laser tool should be checked regularly to ensure its accuracies, especially for precise layouts.
• Transport lock must be in the unlocked position to allow the laser tool to self-level before checking the accuracy.

Level Beam Accuracy

(See figure(K))

• Place laser tool as shown with laser ON. Mark point P at cross.
• K_2 Rotate laser tool 180° and mark point P, at cross.
• Move laser tool close to wall and mark point P_3 at cross.
• Rotate laser tool 180° and mark point P _A at cross.
• Measure the vertical distance between P_1 and P_3 to get D_3 and the vertical distance between P_2 and P_4 to get D_4 .
• Calculate the maximum offset distance and compare to the difference of D_3 and D_4 as shown in the equation.
• If the sum is not less than or equal to the calculated maximum offset distance the tool must be returned to your Stanley Distributor for calibration.

Maximum Offset Distance:

$$ \begin{array}{l} = 0, 2 \frac {m m}{m} \times (D _ {1} m - (2 \times D _ {2} m)) \ = 0, 0 0 2 4 \frac {i n}{f t} x \left(D _ {1} f t - (2 x D _ {2} f t)\right) \ \end{array} $$

Compare : (See figure ^K_5 )

$$ D _ {3} - D _ {4} \leq \pm \text { Maximum } $$

Example:

• D_1 = 10m, D_2 = 0.5m
  • D_3 = 0.4 mm
  • D_4 = -0.6 mm
• 0,2 mm /m x (10 m - (2 x 0,5 m) = 1,8 mm (maximum offset distance)
  • (0,4 mm) - (-0,6 mm) = 1,0 mm
• 1,0 mm ≤ 1,8 mm (TRUE, tool is within calibration)
