IMPORTANT!

Read the instructions for use carefully before using the instrument. Keep them in a safe place for consultation when necessary.

Whether on or off, keep the instrument out of reach of children. This equipment is a high quality precision instrument which must be handled with care. Avoid shocks and vibration. After use, always replace the instrument in its carrying bag. Make sure that the bag and instrument are dry; otherwise condensation may occur in the device. Make sure that the windows are free of dirt, and clean them using a soft cloth and a glass cleaning device only. Always use the locking device during transportation. Regularly inspect the accuracy of the instrument, especially when starting any major square-setting work. You have the sole responsibility for the accuracy of your work. Do not use any optical equipment such as a magnifying glass to view the laser beam, and take care to remove all reflecting objects to avoid damage to the eye. Locate the laser in such a way that it is not possible for any person to look at the laser beam (intentionally or otherwise). Under no circumstances take the instrument apart, since this may expose you to powerful laser radiation. The laser may only be used for the projection of laser lines. Do not use the instrument in rain or near flammable materials. Technical modification or alterations to the instrument may be carried out without prior notice. The manufacturer's responsibility shall in no case exceed the value of the costs of repair or replacement of the instrument. Respect the environment and do NOT discard the instrument or batteries in household waste. Take them to a recycling centre.

LASER CLASSIFICATION

General

The following directions (in accordance with the state of the art - international standard IEC 60825-1(2007-03) and IEC TR 60825-14 (2004-02)) provide instruction and training information to the person responsible for the device and the person who actually uses the equipment, to anticipate and avoid operational hazards. The person responsible for the

device must ensure that all users understand these directions and adhere to them.

Devices classified as laser class 1, class 2 and class 3R do not require

laser safety officer involvement, protective clothes and eyewear,

special warning signs in the laser working area if used and operated as defined in this user manual due to the low eye hazard level.

Devices classified as laser class 2 or class 3R may cause dazzle, flash blindness and afterimages, particularly under low ambient light conditions.

ACCURACY CONTROL

Monitor horizontal levelling

1. Choose a room ± 10 m long
2. Place the instrument next to wall no. 1.
3. Switch on the instrument and let it start levelling.
4. Mark the horizontal line in the middle of the cross on wall no 1.
5. Turn the instrument through 180^ and mark the laser beam in the middle of the cross on wall no. 2.
6. Move the instrument as close as possible to wall no. 2.
7. Adjust the height of the laser so that the middle of the laser cross is on the wall no. 2 marker.
8. Then turn the instrument through 180^ and note the difference between the middle of the laser cross and the marker on wall no. 1.
9. This difference should not exceed 4mm
10. NB: The tolerance depends on the distance of the walls between which the inspection has been carried out. This distance should be multiplied by 2. Hence, if the instrument has an accuracy of 4mm / 10m , then in our example the calculation is: 10m distance × 2 = 20m . Tolerance is 8mm / 20m .

Vertical laser line

Place the instrument approximately 5m from a wall.

Place a 2 m long plumb-line against the wall.

Switch on the instrument and let it self-level.

Place the vertical laser line on the plumb-line.

This should be 2mm in our example.

NB: If your instrument does not reach the required tolerance, it should be returned to your service centre or to your reseller for service. Repairs carried out by unauthorised personnel will automatically expire the guarantee.
