To reduce the risk of injury, the user must read the product User Manual, Laser Safety Manual, and the Battery Safety Manual. Charging the Battery Use the charging unit that is packaged with the FMHT77598 laser to charge the laser's Li-ion battery.

Insert the electrical plug at one end of the charging unit into an electrical outlet (Figure

On the back of the laser, pull the port cover off and to the side (Figure

Insert the small end of the charging unit into the laser's charging port (Figure

Allow the battery time to fully-charge. The Power LED will remain on while the battery is charging.

After the Power LED turns off, disconnect the charging unit from the electrical outlet and the laser’s charging port.9

Push the port cover back over the laser’s charging port. Whenever the laser is not in use, slide the Power/Transport Lock switch to the LEFT to the Locked/OFF position (Figure

) 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

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

). 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

). 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.

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

, press once to display a horizontal laser line, a second time to display a vertical laser line, a third time to display a horizontal line and a vertical line, a fourth time to display 5 dots, and a fifth time to display the horizontal and vertical lines with the 5 dots.

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 will flash constantly on the keypad (Figure

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.

Press on the keypad to test the Pulse mode. will illuminate on the keypad (Figure

) and the laser beams will appear lighter, since they are ashing at a very rapid rate. You will only use Pulse mode with a detector to project the laser beams long range.

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. Horizontal Line Accuracy - Level Checking the level of the laser’s horizontal line requires a at vertical surface at least 30’ (9 m) wide.

Mark the laser dot position on the rst wall as point P1 (Figure

Turn the laser 180° and mark the laser dot position on the second wall as point P2 (Figure

Place the laser 2”–3” (5–8 cm) from the second wall. To test the front laser dot, make sure the front of the laser is facing the wall (Figure

), and adjust the height of the laser until the laser dot hits point P2.

Turn the laser 180° and aim the laser dot near point P1 on the rst wall, and mark point P3 (Figure

Measure the vertical distance between points P1 and P3 on the rst wall.

If your measurement is greater than the Allowable Distance Between P1 & P3 for the corresponding Distance Between Walls in the following table, the laser must be serviced at an authorized service center. Distance Between Walls Allowable Distance Between P1 & P3

Repeat steps 2 through 8 to check the accuracy of the right dot and then the left dot, making sure that the laser dot you are testing is the laser dot facing each wall. Plumb Dot Accuracy Checking the plumb calibration of the laser can be most accurately done when there is a substantial amount of vertical height available, ideally 25’ (7.5 m), with one person on the oor positioning the laser and another person near a ceiling to mark the dot created by the beam on the ceiling.

Turn the laser ON and press 4 times to display dots above, ahead, below, and to the right and left of the laser.

Place the laser so that the down dot is centered over point P1 and mark the center of the up dot on the ceiling as point P2 (Figure

Turn the laser 180°, making sure that the down dot is still centered on point P1 on the oor (Figure

Mark the center of the up dot on the ceiling as point P3 (Figure

Measure the distance between points P2 and P3.

If your measurement is greater than the Allowable Distance Between P2 & P3 for the corresponding Distance Between Ceiling & Floor in the following table, the laser must be serviced at an authorized service center. Distance Between Ceiling & Floor Allowable Distance Between P2 & P3

Level Dot Accuracy - Square Checking the squareness of the laser beams requires a room at least 35’ (10 m) long. All marks can be made on the oor by placing a target in front of the level or square beam and transferring the location to the oor. NOTE: To ensure accuracy, the distance (D1) from P1 to P2, P2 to P3, P2 to P4, and P2 to P5 should be equal.

Mark point P1 on the oor at one end of the room, as shown in Figure

Turn the laser ON and press 4 times to display dots above, ahead, below, and to the right and left of the laser.

Place the laser so that the down dot is centered over point P1 and make sure the front dot points toward the far end of the room (Figure

Using a target to transfer the front level dot location on the wall to the oor, mark point P2 on the floor and then point P3 on the floor (Figure

Move the laser to point P2 and align the front level dot to point P3 again (Figure

Using a target to transfer the front level dot location on the wall to the oor, mark the location of two square beams as points P4 and P5 on the oor (Figure

Mark the location of the rst square beam as point P6 on the oor as close as possible to point P1 (Figure

Measure the distance between points P1 and P6 (Figure

If your measurement is greater than the Allowable Distance Between P1 & P6 for the corresponding Distance (D1) in the following table, the laser must be serviced at an authorized service center. Distance (D1) Allowable Distance Between P1 & P6

Mark the location of the second square beam as point P7 on the oor as close as possible to point P1 (Figure

• 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

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

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. Using the Laser with the Multibracket Most line/dot lasers which have a 5/8-11 mounting thread can be used with the Multibracket FMHT77435 (Figure

). The multibracket can then be used free-standing or mounted in several ways:

• Use its rubber strap around a pole, 2”×4”, or other vertical object.

• Use its rear magnets against a metal beam.

• Hook its rear screw hole over a nail or screw on a wall.

• Use its ceiling clamp to hold onto the track for a hanging/ suspended ceiling.

• Use the bottom 5/8-11 or 1/4-20 thread to attach to a tripod. 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

• Make sure the laser’s Li-ion battery is 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
