• Position the laser so unintentional eye contact will be avoided.

• Do not operate the laser around children or allow children to operate the laser.

• Do not disassemble. Modifying the product in any way can increase the risk of laser radiation.

WARNING: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified in this manual may result in hazardous laser radiation exposure.

• Do not operate in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.

• Use only with the specifically designated batteries. Use of any other batteries may create a risk of fire.

• Store idle product out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Lasers are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

• Repairs and servicing MUST be performed by a qualified repair facility. Repairs performed by unqualified personnel could result in serious injury.

• Do not remove or deface warning labels. Removing labels increases the risk of exposure to radiation.

• For indoor use only.

• This product is intended for use in a temperature range of 41^(5^) - 104^(40^) .

CAUTION: Use caution when drilling, nailing or cutting into walls, floors and ceilings which may contain electrical wiring or pipes. Always turn off the power when working near electrical wires.

CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified in this manual

may result in hazardous laser radiation exposure. The label on your tool may include the following symbols.

Class 2 .........Class 2 Laser

For your convenience and safety, the following labels are on your laser.

Installing the Batteries - figure A

• Ensure laser on/off actuator (1) is in the full off position by sliding the actuator to the left "OFF" position.
• Open the battery compartment cover (8) located on the back of the unit. Insert 2 fresh 1.5 volt AAA batteries making sure to match (+) and (-) terminals correctly. Close battery compartment cover and click into place.

WARNING: Batteries can explode, or leak, and can cause injury or fire. To reduce this risk:

• Carefully follow all instructions and warnings on the battery label and package.
• Always insert batteries correctly with regard to polarity (+ and -), marked on the battery and the equipment.
• Do not short battery terminals.
• Do not charge batteries.
• Do not mix old and new batteries. Replace all of them at the same time with new batteries of the same brand and type.
• Remove dead batteries immediately and dispose of per local codes.
• Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
• Keep batteries out of reach of children.
• Remove batteries if the device will not be used for several months.

"Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like. The US Department of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes (i.e. packed in suitcases and carryon luggage) UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits. So when transporting individual batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and well insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit."

Hanging on a wall using a screw -figure C

The laser unit can be hung on a wall with a screw, using the keyhole opening (9) in the wall mounting attachment.

• Place the keyhole opening over the head of the screw and make sure that the attachment is seated into the narrow opening of the keyhole.
• Tighten the screw.
• Align the circular pocket on the back of the laser with the magnetic circle on the front of the wall attachment.
  Make sure that the unit is seated firmly, and is secure on the wall.

Hanging on drywall surfaces only - figure D

The laser unit can be hung on drywall, using the drywall pin (10) in the wall mounting attachment.

• To press pin into drywall, first expose pin by rotating pin base from opposite side (fig D).

• While maintaining pressure on pin base, insert pin straight and seat firmly against drywall surface.
• The drywall pin should always be pushed in by hand and never driven by a hammer.
• To remove drywall pin from the wall, pull out straight.
• Align the circular pocket on the back of the laser with the magnetic circle on the front of the wall attachment.
  Make sure that the unit is seated firmly, and is secure on the wall.

CAUTION: Pin is sharp and should be handled with care. Always be sure drywall pin is closed when not in use.

NOTE: The pin is only for use on drywall NOT other surfaces including plaster.

Hanging on a wall using removable adhesive strip - figure

NOTE: Black & Decker suggests the use of 3M® Command® Strips.

The laser unit can be hung on a wall using a removable adhesive strip (7) that is attached to the back of the wall mounting attachment.

NOTE:

1.) The wall should be clean and dry to use the adhesive strip.
2.) Adhesive strip can be used on drywall, plaster and wood.
3.) Adhesive strip cannot be used on some types of wallpaper.
- Remove liner paper from one side of adhesive strip (7) and apply strip to back of wall mounting attachment (6).
- Remove liner paper from other side of adhesive strip and press attachment firmly onto wall.
- Align the circular pocket on the back of the laser with the magnetic circle on the front of the wall attachment.
Make sure that the unit is seated firmly, and is secure on the wall.
- To remove from wall, first remove the laser unit from the wall mounting attachment. Then, holding the wall attachment with one hand, slowly stretch the adhesive strip straight along the wall away from the wall mounting attachment until it releases from the wall (figure E). Do not pull strip at an angle.

Operating Instructions

DANGER: Laser Radiation, avoid direct eye exposure.

On/Off Actuator - figure F

• Slide the ON/OFF actuator (1) to the middle position shown in figure F to turn the laser on in a locked position.

• Slide the actuator all the way to the right to activate the self leveling mode.
• Slide the actuator all the way to the left to turn the laser off.

Protractor Mode

• The laser will come on and project a laser line.
• It will be locked in one position.
• The protractor (2) back light will come on.
• The protractor window will show an angle relative to vertical.
  The unit can be spun around 360 degrees, and the angle reading can be taken from the window.
  The angle can then be transferred to another work area.
• Although the laser direction can be changed from vertical to left or right in "Protractor Mode", for best results, it should be set to the vertical position.

Auto Leveling Mode - figure I,J,K,L,M

To activate the Self Leveling Mode, slide the ON/OFF actuator (1) all the way to the right.

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
· Laser does not project on wall.	·Weak batteries. ·The self leveling range of the unit is +/-5 degrees, if the unit is not held within 5 degrees of vertical, the laser lines will not project on wall.	·Replace with fresh batteries. ·Be sure that the unit is as straight up and down as possible.
·Laser projects on wall but lines are not level.	·Wall on which the unit is mounted or held must be within +/- 5 degrees of vertical for the self leveling mechanism to function correctly. If this is exceeded, the lines will still project but may not be level. ·The laser on/off switch must be pushed to the full on position.	·Use the unit against vertical walls only, lines will not be level on sloped walls or other non-vertical surfaces. ·Be sure laser on/off switch is in the full on position.
