Turn the laser upside down.

On the laser, lift up the latch to open the battery compartment cover (Figure

Insert four new, high-quality, name brand AA batteries, making sure to position the - and + ends of each battery as noted inside the battery compartment (Figure

Push the battery compartment cover closed until it snaps in place (Figure

Slide the Power/Transport Lock switch to the right to the Unlocked/ON position (Figure

On the keypad, make sure (Figure

#3) is not ashing (> 5%). If is ashing, this means that the battery level is below 5%.

• The laser may continue to operate for a short time while the battery power continues to drain, but the laser lines and dots will quickly dim.

• After fresh batteries are installed and the laser is turned ON again, the laser lines and dots will return to full brightness.

When the laser is not in use, slide the Power/Transport Lock switch to the LEFT to the Locked/OFF position (Figure

#1a) to save battery power. Using the Mounting Block On the bottom of the laser is a moveable block (Figure

• To use the magnets on the front of the laser (Figure

#2) to mount the laser against the side of a steel beam, do not extend the moveable block (Figure

#1). This will allow the down dot to be aligned with the edge of the steel beam.

• To mount the laser over a point on the oor (using a multi- function bracket or a tripod), pull out the moveable block until it clicks in place (Figure

#2). This will allow the laser down dot to display through the 5/8-11 mounting hole and the laser to be rotated over the 5/8-11 mounting hole without moving the vertical position of the laser. Turning the Laser On

Place the laser on a smooth, flat, level surface, with the laser facing straight ahead toward the opposing wall (0º position).

Slide the Power/Transport Lock switch to the right to the Unlocked/ON position (Figure

#6) once to display a horizontal laser line, a second time to display a down dot, and a third time to display a horizontal line and a down dot.

Check the laser beams. The laser is designed to self-level.

• If the laser is tilted so much that it cannot self-level (> 4°), the laser beams will continually flash twice and (Figure

#4) will flash constantly on the keypad.

• If the laser beams ash, the laser is not level (or plumb) and should NOT BE USED for determining or marking level or plumb. Try repositioning the laser on a level surface.

#5) once to display a vertical laser line from the front of the laser, a second time to display a vertical laser line from the side of the laser, and a third time to display both vertical lines.

If ANY of the following statements are TRUE, continue with the instructions for Checking Laser Accuracy BEFORE USING THE LASER for a project.

• This is the first time you are using the laser (in case the laser was exposed to extreme temperatures).

• The laser has not been checked for accuracy in a while.

• The laser may have been dropped. Checking Laser Accuracy The laser tools are sealed and calibrated at the factory. It is recommended that you perform an accuracy check prior to using the laser for the rst time (in case the laser was exposed to extreme temperatures) and then regularly to ensure the accuracy of your work. When performing any of the accuracy checks listed in this manual, follow these guidelines:

• Use the largest area/distance possible, closest to the operating distance. The greater the area/distance, the easier to measure the accuracy of the laser.

• Place the laser on a smooth, at, stable surface that is level in both directions.

• Mark the center of the laser beam.11

Horizontal Beam - Scan Direction Checking the horizontal scan calibration of the laser requires two walls 9m (30′) apart. It is important to conduct a calibration check using a distance no shorter than the distance of the applications for which the tool will be used.

Place the laser against the end of a 9m (30′) wall (Figure

Turn the laser toward the opposite end of the wall and parallel to the adjacent wall.

At least 9m (30′) apart on the laser beam, mark

• Always mark the center of the beam created by the laser.

• Extreme temperature changes may cause movement of internal parts that can affect accuracy. Check your accuracy often while working.

• If the laser is ever dropped, check to make sure it is still calibrated.

• As long as the laser is properly calibrated, the laser is self- leveling. Each laser is calibrated at the factory to nd level as long as it is positioned on a at surface within average ± 4° of level. No manual adjustments are required.

• Use the laser on a smooth, at, level, surface. Turning the Laser Off Slide the Power/Transport Lock switch to the OFF/Locked position (Figure

#1a) when the laser is not in use. If the switch is not placed in the Locked position, the laser will not turn off.13

Using the Laser with Accessories

Since accessories other than those offered by Stanley have not been tested with this laser, use of such accessories with this laser could be hazardous. Only use Stanley accessories that are recommended for use with this model. Accessories that may be suitable for one laser may create a risk of injury when used with another laser. The bottom of the laser is equipped with 1/4-20 and 5/8-11 female threads (Figure

) to accommodate current or future Stanley accessories. Only use Stanley accessories specied for use with this laser. Follow the directions included with the accessory. Recommended accessories for use with this laser are available at extra cost from your local dealer or authorized service center. If you need assistance locating any accessory, please contact your nearest Stanley service center or visit our website: http://www.2helpU.com. Maintenance

• When the laser is not in use, clean the exterior parts with a damp cloth, wipe the laser with a soft dry cloth to make sure it is dry, and then store the laser in the kit box provided.

• Although the laser exterior is solvent resistant, NEVER use solvents to clean the laser.

• Do not store the laser at temperatures below -20 ˚C (-5 ˚F) or above 60 ˚C (140 ˚F).

• To maintain the accuracy of your work, check the laser often to make sure it is properly calibrated. Calibration checks and other maintenance repairs may be performed by Stanley service centers. Troubleshooting The Laser Does Not Turn On

• Check the AA batteries to make sure:

• Each battery is installed correctly, according to (+) and (–) listed inside the battery compartment.

• The battery contacts are clean and free of rust or corrosion.

• The batteries are new, high-quality, name brand batteries to reduce the chance of battery leakage.

• Make sure the AA batteries are in proper working condition. If in doubt, try installing new batteries.

• When using rechargeable batteries, make sure the batteries are fully charged.

• Be sure to keep the laser dry.

• If the laser unit is heated above 50 ˚C (120 ˚F), the unit will not turn ON. If the laser has been stored in extremely hot temperatures, allow it to cool. The laser level will not be damaged by using the Power/Transport Lock switch before cooling to its proper operating temperature. The Laser Beams Flash The lasers are designed to self-level up to an average of 4° in all directions. If the laser is tilted so much that the internal mechanism cannot level itself, the laser beams will ash indicating that the tilt range has been exceeded. THE FLASHING BEAMS CREATED BY THE LASER ARE NOT LEVEL OR PLUMB AND SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR DETERMINING OR MARKING LEVEL OR PLUMB. Try repositioning the laser on a more level surface. The Laser Beams Will Not Stop Moving The laser is a precision instrument. Therefore, if it is not positioned on a stable (and motionless) surface, the laser will continue to try to nd level. If the beam will not stop moving, try placing the laser on a more stable surface. Also, try to make sure that the surface is relatively at and level, so that the laser is stable. Service and Repairs Note: Disassembling the laser level will void all warranties on the product. To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and adjustment should be performed by authorized service centers. Service or maintenance performed by unqualied personnel may result in a risk of injury. To locate your nearest Stanley service center, go to http://www.2helpU.com.14
