Operation

Operating Tips

• To extend battery life per charge, turn the laser off when it is not in use.
• To ensure the accuracy of your work, check the laser calibration often. Refer to Calibrating the Laser.
• Before attempting to use the laser, make sure the tool is positioned on a relatively smooth, secure surface.
• Always mark the center of the laser line or dot. If you mark different parts of the beam at different times you will introduce error into your measurements.
• To increase working distance and accuracy, set up the laser in the middle of your working area.
• When attaching to a tripod or wall, mount the laser securely.
• When working indoors, a slow rotary head speed will produce a visibly brighter line, a faster rotary head speed will produce a visibly solid line.
• To increase beam visibility, wear Laser Enhancement Glass es and/or use a Laser Target Card to help find the beam.
• Extreme temperature changes can cause movement or shifting of building structures, metal tripods, equipment, etc., which can effect accuracy. Check your accuracy often while working.
• When working with the DEWALT Digital Laser Detector, set the laser's rotation speed to the fastest setting.
• If the laser is dropped or has suffered a sharp blow, have the calibration system checked by a qualified service center before using the laser.

Control Panel (Fig. A, B)

The laser is primarily controlled by the power button 1, the mode button 2, the speed button 3 and the scan mode button 4. These features are then modified when used with either the Axis selection button 5 (DCE079R/DCE079G in Slope mode only), or the two direction/elevation adjustment buttons 6 and 7.

The direction/elevation adjustment buttons control the rotational direction of the laser head as well as adjust the elevation of the beam when the unit is in slope mode. These buttons can also be used to incrementally rotate the beam when the unit is in Scan mode.

The buttons on the DCE074R control panel, DCE079R/G control panel, and the DCE079R/G Remote keypad all work the same, unless otherwise indicated.

Power Button

The Power button is used to turn the laser unit on and off.

• To power ON the DCE074R or DCE079R/G laser unit, press the Power button once.
• To completely power OFF the DCE074R or DCE079R/G laser unit, press the power button for 3 sec.

Speed/Rotation Button

The speed button 3 is used to adjust the rotation speed of the laser beam through its 4 preset speeds (150, 300, 600, and 1200 RPM).

Scan Mode Button

The scan mode button 4 is used to make the laser head sweep back and forth, creating a short, bright laser line. This short line is much brighter and more visible than when the unit is in full rotation mode.

Using Scan Mode

• To enter Scan Mode, push and release the scan mode button 4. To cycle through the scan angles, continue to press the button until you reach the desired angle.
• The direction of the scan zone can be controlled with the arrow buttons 6 and 7.

Slope Mode Button

• To activate Slope Mode press the slope mode button 2.
- To return to self-leveling mode and re-engage full self-leveling, press and hold the mode button 2 again.

Setting the Slope Direction

When Slope Mode is activated, the unit automatically engages the X-Axis. This allows you to slope the laser in the direction of the X-Axis, as indicated by the "gunsights" on the rollcage.

The LED light 11 or 12 indicates the current slope direction.

DCE079R/G only: In certain situations, it may be desirable to slope the laser in the Y-axis. The direction of Slope Mode can be changed back and forth between the Y-axis and the X-axis by pressing the X-Y axis button 5. The selected axis is identified by LED light 24 or 25.

Setting the Amount of Slope

1. Turn on Slope Mode.
2. Select the desired axis.
3. Use the Arrow buttons (Fig. ⑧, 6 and 7) to tilt the laser rotor head up and down.
4. Each quick press of an Arrow button will move the slope by 0.01° (1/16" @ 30ft. or 1.6mm @ 10m).
5. If you press and hold an Arrow button between 2 sec-10 sec, the slope will move from .0.01°/sec to 0.2°/sec.
6. If you press and hold an Arrow button longer than 10 sec, the slope will move 0.2^ / sec .

Arrow Buttons (Fig. Ⓑ, Ⓡ)

The arrow buttons (B 6 and 7) are used for different functions depending on the operating mode of the laser unit.

• In Self-Leveling Horizontal Mode, the arrow buttons rotate the direction of the laser beam clockwise or counterclockwise during rotation, or adjust the position of the laser beam clockwise or counter-clockwise during Scan Mode.
• In Self-Leveling Vertical Mode, the arrow buttons rotate the direction of the laser beam clockwise or counterclockwise during rotation, or adjust the position of the laser beam clockwise or counter-clockwise during Scan Mode.
• In Slope Mode, the arrow buttons are used to tilt the laser head.

Turning the Laser On (Fig. E, B)

1. Insert the fully charged 18V battery pack as shown in Figure E.
2. Gently press the power button 1 to power ON the laser.

• The power LED indicator light 9 will illuminate
• Self-leveling mode is activated automatically and the laser unit will self-level. Once the laser unit is level, the beam will rotate once at 600 RPM in the clockwise direction.

• After 10 sec., Hi Mode (Anti-Drift) is activated automatically and the Hi LED 8 will illuminate.

• Press the speed/rotation button 3 to adjust the rotation speed. The direction can be changed using buttons 6 and 7.

• Press the Scan button 4 to set the laser to scan in 0°, 15°, 45°, or 90° degree mode.

If you turn ON Slope Mode, the Slope LED 12 will light. If using X-axis leveling, the X-axis LED 24 will light, or if using Y-axis leveling, the Y-axis LED 25 will light instead.

Calibrating the Laser (Fig. O, P)

Field calibration checks should be done frequently. This section provides instructions for performing simple field calibration checks of your DEWALT Rotary Laser. Field calibration checks do not calibrate the laser. That is, these checks do not correct errors in the leveling or plumbing capability of the laser. Instead, the checks indicate whether or not the laser is providing a correct level and plumb line. These checks cannot take the place of professional calibration performed by a DEWALT service center.

Level Calibration Check (X-axis)

1. Set up a tripod between two walls that are at least 50 feet apart. The exact location of the tripod is not critical.
2. Mount the laser unit on the tripod so that the X-axis points directly toward one of the walls.
3. Turn the laser unit on and allow it to self-level.
4. Mark and measure points A and B on the walls as shown in Figure O.
5. Turn the entire laser unit 180^ so the X-axis points directly toward the opposite wall.
6. Allow the laser unit to self-level, and mark and measure points AA and BB on the walls as shown in Figure P.
7. Calculate the total error using the equation:

$$ \text { Total Error } = (\mathbf {A} \mathbf {A} - \mathbf {A}) - (\mathbf {B} \mathbf {B} - \mathbf {B}) $$

1. Compare total error to the allowable limits shown in the following table.

Distance Between Walls	Allowable Error DCE074R	Allowable Error DCE079R/G
15m 3mm 1	.5mm
20m 4mm 2	mm
25m 5mm 2	.5mm
30m 6mm 3	mm

Level Calibration Check (Y-axis)

Repeat the procedure above, but with the laser unit positioned so the Y-axis is pointed directly toward the walls.

Plumb Error Check (Fig. Q)

1. Using a standard plumb bob as a reference, mark the top and bottom of a wall. (Be sure to mark the wall and not the floor and ceiling.)
2. Position the rotary laser securely on the floor approximately 3' (1 m) from the wall.
3. Turn the laser on, and point the dot at the mark on the bottom of the wall. Then, using the up/down arrows on the remote control, rotate the dot upwards. If the center of the dot scans over the mark on the top of the wall, the laser is properly calibrated.

NOTE: This check should be done with a wall no shorter than the tallest wall for which this laser will be used.

Using the Laser on a Tripod (Fig. ©)

1. Position the tripod securely and set it to the desired height.
2. Make sure that the top of the tripod is roughly level. The laser will self-level only if the top of the tripod is within ±5^ of level. If the laser is set up too far out of level, it will beep when it reaches the limit of its leveling range. No damage will be done to the laser, but it will not operate in an “out of level” condition.

ENGLISH

1. Secure the laser to the tripod by attaching the tripod adapter 20 as shown in Figure © to the laser body. The adapter may be assembled to the bottom for level mode or to the side for plumb mode. Place the assembly on the tripod and screw the threaded knob on the tripod into the female thread on the tripod adapter.

NOTE: Be sure that the tripod you are working with has a 5/8"-11 threaded screw to ensure secure mounting.

1. Turn the laser on and adjust the rotation speed and controls as desired.

Using the Laser on a Floor (Fig. ①)

The laser level can be positioned directly on the floor for leveling and plumbing applications such as framing walls.

1. Place the laser on a relatively smooth and level surface where it will not be disturbed.

2. Position the laser for a level or plumb setting as shown.

3. Turn the laser on and adjust the rotation speed and controls as desired.

NOTE: The laser will be easier to set up for wall applications if the rotation speed is set to 0 RPM and if the remote control is used to line up the laser with control marks. The remote allows one person to set up the laser.

Using the DCE079R/G Remote

The remote control allows one person to operate and set up the laser from a distance. The LED light on the remote control indicates a signal is being transmitted from the DCE079R/G laser unit. You can use all the buttons on the keypad to control that laser unit.

If your DCE079R/G laser unit was stamped on or after 2016-49-NZ, you can use the Remote to completely power OFF the laser unit.

≥ 2016-49-NZ

To completely power OFF a DCE079R/G laser unit (stamped on or after 2016-49-NZ) using the Remote keypad, press the X-Y axis button 14 and the MODE button 13 simultaneously.

Digital Laser Detector (Fig. ①—⑨)

Some laser kits include a DEWALT Digital Laser Detector. The DEWALT Digital Laser Detector allows you to locate a laser beam emitted by a rotary laser in bright light conditions or over long distances. The detector can be used in both indoor and outdoor situations where it is difficult to see the laser beam.

The detector is not for use with non-rotating lasers but is compatible with most rotary red-beam (DW0743R) and green beam (DW0743G) lasers. It can be set to indicate the location of the beam to either the nearest 1/8" (3 mm) or the nearest 1/25" (1 mm). The detector gives both visual signals through the display window 22 and audio signals through the speaker 23 to indicate the location of the laser beam.

The DEWALT Digital Laser Detector can be used with or without the detector clamp. When used with the clamp, the detector can be positioned on a grade rod, leveling pole, stud or post.

Installing a Battery in the Detector (Fig. ①)

The Digital Laser Detector is powered by a 9 volt battery. To install the battery provided, lift up on the battery compartment cover 21. Place the 9 volt battery in the compartment, aligning the battery as shown.

Detector Controls (Fig. ①)

The detector is controlled by the power button 26 and the accuracy mode button 27.

When the power button is pushed once, the detector is turned on. The top of the display window shows the accuracy icon 27, and the volume icon 28. To decrease the volume of the audible signal that the detector emits when it senses a laser beam, push the button again; one of the half circles next to the horn icon will disappear. To turn off the audible signal push the button a third time; the volume icon will dissapear. The DEWALT Digital Laser Detector also has an auto shut-off feature. If a rotary laser beam does not strike the beam detection window, or if no buttons are pressed, the detector will shut itself off in about 30 minutes.

When the detector is on, the top of the window shows an accuracy mode icon. Either the 1 mm accuracy mode icon 53 will appear, or the 3 mm accuracy mode icon 54 will appear. When the 1 mm accuracy mode icon appears, it indicates that the detector will give an "on grade" reading only when the laser beam is on grade or no more than 1 mm above or below it. When the 3 mm accuracy mode icon appears, it indicates that the detector will give an "on grade" reading when the laser beam is on grade or approximately 3 mm above or below it. Push the accuracy mode button 27 once to change the accuracy mode.

Detector Operation (Fig. ①, ②)

1. Set up and position the rotary laser that you will be using according to the manufacturer's directions. Turn the laser on and make sure that the laser is rotating and emitting a laser beam. NOTE: This detector has been designed to be used only with a rotating laser. The detector will not work with a stationary beam laser level.
2. Turn the detector on by pressing the power/volume button 26.
3. Adjust the volume as desired as described in the Detector Controls.
4. Position the detector so that the detector window 22 is facing the laser beam produced by the rotary laser. Move the detector up or down within the approximate area of the beam, until you have centered the detector. For information about the display window indicators and the audible signal indicators, refer to the table titled Indicators (Fig. ①).
5. Use the marking notches 30 to accurately mark the position of the laser beam.

Detector Cleaning and Storage

• Dirt and grease may be removed from the exterior of the detector using a cloth or soft, non-metallic brush.
• The DEWALT Digital Laser Detector is waterproof. If you should drop the detector in mud, wet concrete, or a similar substance, simply hose the detector off. Do not use high pressure water, e.g., from a pressure washer.
• The best storage place is one that is cool and dry-away from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold.

Detector Service

Except for batteries, there are no user serviceable parts in the Digital Laser Detector. Do not disassemble the unit. Unauthorized tampering with the laser detector will void all warranties.

Detector Troubleshooting

The detector will not turn on.

• Press and release the power/volume button.
• Check to see that the battery is in place and in the proper position.
• If the detector is very cold, allow it to warm up in a heated area.
• Replace the 9 volt battery. Turn the unit on.
• If the detector still does not turn on, take the detector to a DEWALT service center.

The detector's speaker makes no sound.

• Ensure that the detector is on.
• Press the power/volume button. It will toggle from high, to low, to mute.
• Ensure that the rotary laser is spinning and that it is emitting a laser beam.
• If the detector is still not making any sound, take it to a DEWALT service center.

The detector does not respond to a stationary laser beam.

The DEWALT Digital Laser Detector has been designed to work only with rotary lasers.

The detector gives off a tone but the LCD display window does not function.

• If the detector is very cold, allow it to warm up in a heated area.
• If the LCD display window is still not functioning, take the detector to a DEWALT service center.

ENGLISH

Mounting Bracket (Fig. M, N)

Some laser kits include a Wall Mount. It can be used for attaching the tool to track or ceiling angle and to aid in acoustical ceiling installation. Follow the directions below for using the wall mount.

CAUTION: Before attaching the laser level to wall track or ceiling angle, be sure that the track or angle is properly secured.

1. Place the laser on the mounting base 37 aligning the 5/8–11 screw hole on the tripod adapter (20, Fig. ©) attached to the bottom of the laser with the hole 39 in the mounting base. Turn the mounting knob 40 to secure the laser.
2. With the wall mount measuring scale 41 facing you, loosen the wall mount clamp locking knob 42 to open the clamp jaws.
3. Position the clamp jaws around the wall track or ceiling angle and tighten the wall mount clamp locking knob 42 to close the clamp jaws onto the track. Be sure that the wall mount clamp locking knob is securely tightened before proceeding.

CAUTION: Always use a ceiling wire hanger or equivalent material, in addition to the wall mount clamp locking knob, to help secure the laser level while mounting it to a wall. Thread the wire through the handle of the laser level. DO NOT thread the wire through the protective metal cage. Additionally, screws may be used to fasten the wall mount directly to the wall as a back up. Screw holes 43 are located at the top of the wall mount.

1. Using the base leveling knob 44 approximate a level position from the wall.

2. The tool can be adjusted up and down to the desired offset height for working. To change the height, loosen the locking knob 45 located on the left of the wall mount. Support the mounting base when adjusting the height.

3. Turn the adjustment knob 46, located to the right of the wall mount, to move the laser level up and down to set your height. Use the wall mount measuring scale 41 to pinpoint your mark.

NOTE: It may be helpful to turn the power on and turn the rotary head so that it puts a dot on one of the laser scales. The DeWALT target card is marked at 38mm, therefore, it may be easiest to set the offset of the laser to 38mm below the track.

1. Once you have positioned the laser at the desired height, tighten the locking knob 45 to maintain this position.

Mounting on a Grade Rod (Fig.⑨)

To secure your detector to a grade rod, first attach the detector to the clamp using the 1/4"-20 threaded knob 47 on the back of the clamp. Slide the tracks 32 on the clamp around the rail 33 on the grade rod.

1. Position the detector at the height needed and turn the clamp knob clockwise to tighten the jaws of the clamp around the grade securing the clamp on the rod.
2. To make adjustments in height, slightly loosen the clamp, reposition and retighten.

Construction Grade Rod (Fig. ①)

DANGER: NEVER attempt to use a grade rod in a standard or near overhanging electric wires. Death or serious personal injury will occur.

Some laser kits include a grade rod. The DEWALT Grade Rod is marked with measurement scales on both sides and is constructed in telescoping sections. A spring-loaded button actuates a lock to hold the grade rod at various lengths.

The front of the grade rod has the measurement scale starting at the bottom. Use this for measuring from the ground up when grading or leveling jobs.

The back of the grade rod is designed to measure the height of ceilings, joists, etc. Fully extend the top section of the grade rod until the button locks into the previous section. Extend that section either until it locks into the adjacent section or until the grade rod touches the ceiling or joist. The height is read where the last extended section exits the previous lower section, as shown in Figure ①.

Target Card (Fig. ©)

Some laser kits include a Laser Target Card to aid in locating and marking the laser beam. The target card enhances the visibility of the laser beam as the beam crosses over the card. The card is marked with standard and metric scales. The laser beam passes through the red plastic and reflects off of the reflective tape on the reverse side. The magnet at the top of the card is designed to hold the target card to ceiling track or steel studs to determine plumb and level positions. For best performance when using the Target Card, the DEWALT logo should be facing you.

Laser Enhancement Glasses (Fig. ⑤)

Some laser kits include a pair of Laser En hancement Glasses. These glasses improve the visibility of the laser beam under bright light conditions or over long distances when the laser is used for interior applications. These glasses are not required to operate the laser.

CAUTION: These glasses are not ANSI approved sensory glasses and should not be worn while operating other tools. These glasses do not keep the laser beam from entering your eyes.

DANGER: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, no store directly into the laser beam, with or without these glasses.

Maintenance

• Under some conditions, the glass lens may collect some dirt or debris. This will affect beam quality and operating range. The lens should be cleaned with a cotton swab moistened with water.
• The flexible rubber shield can be cleaned with a wet lint-free cloth such as a cotton cloth. USE WATER ONLY — DO NOT use cleansers or solvents. Allow the unit to air dry before storing.
• To maintain the accuracy of your work, check the calibration of the laser often. Refer to Calibrating the Laser.
• Calibration checks and other maintenance repairs can be performed by DEWALT service centers. Two free calibration checks are included under the DEWALT One Year Free Service Con tract.
• When the laser is not in use, store it in the kit box provided.
• Do not store your laser in the kit box if the laser is wet. Dry exterior parts with a soft, dry cloth and allow the laser to air dry.
• Do not store your laser at temperatures below -18°C or above 41°C.

WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. These chemicals may weaken the materials used in these parts. Use a cloth dampened only with water and mild soap. Never let any liquid get inside the unit; never immerse any part of the unit into a liquid. Never use compressed air to clean the laser.

Troubleshooting

Height of Instrument Alert
