OBJ_BUCH-1236-001.book Page 15 Thursday, May 20, 2010 12:18 PM16 | English 1 609 929 W91 | (20.5.10) Bosch Power Tools Assembly Inserting/Replacing the Battery Alkali-manganese batteries are recommended for the measuring tool. To open the battery lid 7, press the latch of the battery lid 6 in the direction of the arrow and re- move the battery lid. Insert the supplied batter- ies. When inserting, pay attention to the correct polarity according to the representation on the inside of the battery compartment. When the batteries become weak, the laser beams flash rapidly for about 5 s (while the measuring tool is switched on). 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 batter- ies can corrode and discharge themselves. Operation Initial Operation f Protect the measuring tool against mois- ture and direct sun light. 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 ex- treme temperatures or variations in tempera- ture, 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 3 to the “On” position. Immedi- ately after switching on, the measuring tool sends two laser beams out of the 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, slide the On/Off switch 3 to the “Off” position. When switching off, the levelling unit is locked. 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. The measuring tool switches off automatically after an operating duration of 30 minutes. 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 levelling function auto- matically compensates irregularities within the self-levelling range of ±4°. The levelling is fin- ished as soon as the laser beams do not move any more. If the automatic levelling function is not possi- ble, e.g. because the surface on which the measuring tool stands deviates by more than 4° from the horizontal plane, the laser beams flash slowly. 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 within the self-levelling range of ±4°, the laser lines light up continuously again. In case of ground vibrations or position changes during operation, the measuring tool is automat- ically levelled in again. To avoid errors, check the position of the horizontal and vertical laser line with regard to the reference points upon re- levelling. OBJ_BUCH-1236-001.book Page 16 Thursday, May 20, 2010 12:18 PMEnglish | 17 Bosch Power Tools 1 609 929 W91 | (20.5.10) Levelling Accuracy Influences on Accuracy The ambient temperature has the greatest influ- ence. Especially temperature differences occur- ring 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 be- fore starting your work. First, check both the height as well as the level- ling accuracy of the horizontal laser line, then the levelling accuracy of the vertical laser line. 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 Height Accuracy of the Horizontal Line For this check, a free measuring distance of 5 metres on a firm surface between two walls A and B is required. – 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 laser against the close wall A and allow the measuring tool to level in. Mark the centre of the point where the laser lines cross each other on the wall (point I). – Turn the measuring tool by 180°, allow it to level in and mark the cross point of the laser lines 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 a tripod or by underlaying, if required) in such a manner that the cross point of the laser lines is projected against the previously marked point II on the wall B.

OBJ_BUCH-1236-001.book Page 17 Thursday, May 20, 2010 12:18 PM18 | English 1 609 929 W91 | (20.5.10) Bosch Power Tools – Without changing the height, turn around the measuring tool by 180°. Direct it against the wall A in such a manner that the vertical laser line runs through the already marked point I. Allow the measuring tool to level in and mark the cross point of the laser lines on the wall A (point III). – The difference d of both marked points I and III on wall A indicates the actual height devi- ation of the measuring tool. The maximum permitted deviation d max is calcu- lated as follows:

max = double distance of the walls x 0.3 mm/m Example: With a 5 metre distance between the walls, the maximum deviation must not exceed

max =2x5mx0.3mm/m=3mm. Thus, the marks must not be more than 3 mm apart. Checking the Levelling Accuracy of the Horizontal Line For the check, a free surface of approx. 5 x 5 me- tres is required. – Mount the measuring tool between both walls A and B onto the holder or a tripod, or place it on a firm and level surface. Allow the measuring tool to level in. – At a distance of 2.5 metres from the measur- ing tool, mark the centre of the laser line (point I on wall A and point II on wall B) on both walls. – Set up the measuring tool 5 metres away turned by 180° and allow it to level in. – Align the height of the measuring tool (using a tripod or by underlaying, if required) in such a manner that the centre of the laser line is projected exactly against the previous- ly marked point II on wall B. – Mark the centre of the laser line as point III (vertically above or below point I) on the wall

– The difference d of both marked points I and III on wall A indicates the actual deviation of the measuring tool from the level plane. The maximum permitted deviation d max is calcu- lated as follows:

max = double distance of the walls x 0.3 mm/m Example: With a 5 metre distance between the walls, the maximum deviation must not exceed

max = 2 x 5 m x 0.3 mm/m = 3 mm. Thus, the marks must not be more than 3 mm apart.

OBJ_BUCH-1236-001.book Page 18 Thursday, May 20, 2010 12:18 PMEnglish | 19 Bosch Power Tools 1 609 929 W91 | (20.5.10) Checking the Levelling Accuracy of the Vertical Line For this check, a door opening is required with at least 2.5 metres of space (on a firm surface) to each side of the door. – Position the measuring tool on a firm, level surface (not on a tripod) 2.5 m away from the door opening. Direct the laser beams at the door opening and allow the measuring tool to level in. – Mark the centre of the vertical laser line at the floor of the door opening (point I), at a distance of 5 metres beyond the other side of the door opening (point II) and at the upper edge of the door opening (point III). – Position the measuring tool on the other side of the door opening directly behind point II. Allow the measuring tool to level in and align the vertical laser line in such a manner that its centre runs exactly throught points I and II. – The difference d between point III and the centre of the laser line at the upper edge of the door opening results in the actual deviation of the measuring tool from the vertical plane. – Measure the height of the door opening. The maximum permitted deviation d max is calcu- lated as follows:

max = double height of the door opening x 0.3 mm/m Example: With a door opening height of 2 me- tres, the maximum permitted deviation is

max = 2 x 2 m x 0.3 mm/m = 1.2 mm. Thus, the marks must not be more than 1.2 mm apart. Working Advice f Always use the centre of the laser line for marking. The width of the laser line 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 2 on the measuring tool and tighten. To rotate the measuring tool on the holder, slightly loosen the screw 9. With the holder 8, the measuring tool can be at- tached 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 offers a stable, height-adjustable meas- uring support. Place the measuring tool via the tripod mount 2 onto the 1/4" male thread of the tripod and screw the locking screw of the tripod tight. 2,5 m 2,5 m 2,5 m 2,5 m 2,5 m 2,5 m

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 17 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 ap- pear brighter for the eyes. f Do not use the laser viewing glasses as safe- ty 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. Work Examples (see figures C–E) Applicational examples for the measuring tool can be found on the graphics pages. Maintenance and Service Maintenance and Cleaning Store and transport the measuring tool only in the supplied protective pouch. 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 af- ter-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.
