The safeguards integrated into the measuring tool may be compromised if the measuring tool is not used in accordance with these in- structions. Never make warning signs on the measuring tool unrecognisable. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE AND INCLUDE THEM WITH THE MEASURING TOOL WHEN TRANSFERRING IT TO A THIRD PARTY. u Warning! If operating or adjustment devices other than those specified here are used or other proced- ures are carried out, this can lead to dangerous expos- ure to radiation. u The measuring tool is delivered with a laser warning sign (marked in the illustration of the measuring tool on the graphics page). u If the text of the laser warning label is not in your na- tional language, stick the provided warning label in your national language over it before operating for the first time. Do not direct the laser beam at persons or animals and do not stare into the direct or reflected laser beam yourself. You could blind somebody, cause accidents or damage your eyes. u If laser radiation hits your eye, you must close your eyes and immediately turn your head away from the beam. u Do not make any modifications to the laser equip- ment. u Do not use the laser goggles (accessory) as protective goggles. The laser goggles make the laser beam easier to see; they do not protect you against laser radiation. u Do not use the laser goggles (accessory) as sunglasses or while driving. The laser goggles do not provide full UV protection and impair your ability to see colours. u Have the measuring tool serviced only by a qualified specialist using only original replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the measuring tool is main- tained. u Do not let children use the laser measuring tool unsu- pervised. They could unintentionally blind themselves or other persons. u Do not use the measuring tool in explosive atmo- spheres which contain flammable liquids, gases or dust. Sparks may be produced inside the measuring tool, which can ignite dust or fumes. Keep the measuring tool and the magnetic accessories away from implants and other medical devices, e.g. pacemakers or insulin pumps. The magnets inside the measuring tool and accessories generate a field that can impair the function of implants and medical devices. u Keep the measuring tool and the magnetic accessor- ies away from magnetic data storage media and mag- netically sensitive devices. The effect of the magnets in- side the measuring tool and accessories can lead to irre- versible data loss.

F) Only available in combination with the rotating platform The serial number (4) on the type plate is used to clearly identify your measuring tool. Assembly Inserting/changing the batteries It is recommended that you use alkaline manganese batter- ies to operate the measuring tool. To open the battery compartment cover(3), press on the locking mechanism(2) and remove the battery compart- ment cover. Insert the batteries. When inserting the batteries, ensure that the polarity is cor- rect according to the illustration on the inside of the battery compartment. If the status display(15) flashes, the batteries have to be re- placed. Always replace all the batteries at the same time. Only use batteries from the same manufacturer and which have the same capacity. u Take the batteries out of the measuring tool when you are not using it for a prolonged period of time. The bat- teries can corrode and self-discharge during prolonged storage in the measuring tool. Working with the Rotating Platform (seefigureA) You can use the rotating platform(12) to rotate the measur- ing tool 360° around a central, always visible plumb point. This enables you to set up the laser lines precisely, without having to change the position of the measuring tool. Place the measuring tool on the rotating platform(12) so that the fastening grooves(13) of the rotating platform fit between the corresponding fastening grooves(6) on the bottom of the measuring tool. Turn the measuring tool clock- wise to lock it on the rotating platform. Unscrew the legs of the rotating platform(12) with the height adjustment screws(10). Roughly align the rotating platform using the spirit level(8). If the measuring tool is mounted on the rotating platform(12), you can use the fine adjustment screw(11) to align vertical laser lines precisely with reference points. Bosch Power Tools 1 609 92A 4HL | (27.11.2020)8 | English Operation Starting Operation u Protect the measuring tool from moisture and direct sunlight. u Do not expose the measuring tool to any extreme tem- peratures or fluctuations in temperature. For example, do not leave it in a car for extended periods of time. If it has been subjected to significant fluctuations in temper- ature, first allow the measuring tool to adjust to the ambi- ent temperature and then always carry out an accuracy check before continuing work (see "Accuracy Check of the Measuring Tool", page9). The precision of the measuring tool may be compromised if exposed to extreme temperatures or fluctuations in temperature. u Avoid substantial knocks to the measuring tool and avoid dropping it. Always carry out an accuracy check before continuing work if the measuring tool has been subjected to severe external influences (see "Accuracy Check of the Measuring Tool", page9). u Switch the measuring tool off when transporting it. The pendulum unit is locked when the tool is switched off, as it can otherwise be damaged by big movements. Switching On/Off To switch on the measuring tool, slide the on/off switch(7) to the " On" position (for working with the pendulum lock) or to the " On"position (for working with automatic level- ling). The status display(15) lights up. Immediately after switching on, the measuring tool sends a horizontal laser line out of the front outlet aperture(1). u Do not direct the laser beam at persons or animals and do not stare into the laser beam yourself (even from a distance). To switch off the measuring tool, slide the on/off switch (7) to the "Off" position. The status indicator(15) goes out. The pendulum unit is locked when the tool is switched off. u Never leave the measuring tool unattended when switched on, and ensure the measuring tool is switched off after use. Others may be blinded by the laser beam. If the maximum permitted operating temperature of 45 °C is exceeded, the tool shuts down to protect the laser diode. Once it has cooled down, the measuring tool is operational again and can be switched back on. Deactivating the automatic shut-off function The measuring tool automatically switches itself off after 30min of operation. To deactivate the automatic shut-off, hold down either the vertical mode button(16) or the horizontal mode button(17) for 3seconds when switching on the measuring tool. The laser beams will flash briefly after 3seconds if the automatic shut-off function is deactivated. To activate the automatic shut-off function, switch the meas- uring tool off and on again (without holding down a button). Operating Modes The measuring tool has several operating modes, which you can switch between at any time. The horizontal and vertical modes can be switched on and off independently of each other. After switching on, the measuring tool is in horizontal mode. All operating modes can be selected with both automatic lev- elling or the pendulum lock. Horizontal mode (seefigureB) In horizontal mode, the measuring tool sends out a hori- zontal laser line pointing forwards. To switch the horizontal laser line off or on, press the hori- zontal mode button(17). Vertical mode and plumb point (seefiguresC–D) The measuring tool has two vertical operation modes: – Vertical laser line forwards – Vertical laser line forwards and to the right-hand side A plumb point is additionally projected downwards in ver- tical mode. To switch the vertical mode on/off or to change the vertical mode, press the vertical mode button(16) repeatedly until the required operating mode is reached. Automatic Levelling Working with automatic levelling Position the measuring tool on a level, firm surface or attach it to the rotating platform(12). For work with automatic levelling, slide the on/off switch(7) to the " On" position. The automatic levelling function automatically compensates irregularities within the self-levelling range of ±3°. The level- ling is finished as soon as the laser lines stop moving. If automatic levelling is not possible, e.g. because the sur- face on which the measuring tool stands deviates by more than3°from the horizontal plane, the laser beams will flash quickly. If this is the case, set up the measuring tool in a level position and wait for the self-levelling to take place. As soon as the measuring tool is within the self-levelling range of ±3°, the laser beams will light up continuously. In case of ground vibrations or position changes during oper- ation, the measuring tool is automatically levelled again. Upon levelling, check the position of the laser beams with re- gard to the reference points to avoid errors arising from a change in the measuring tool's position. Working with the pendulum lock For work with the pendulum lock, slide the on/off switch(7) to the " On" position. The pendulum lock indicator(14) lights up red and the laser lines continuously flash slowly. For work with the pendulum lock, automatic levelling is switched off. You can hold the measuring tool freely in your hand or place it on a sloping surface. This means that the laser beams are no longer levelled and no longer necessarily run perpendicular to one another. 1 609 92A 4HL | (27.11.2020) Bosch Power ToolsEnglish | 9 Accuracy Check of the Measuring Tool Influences on Accuracy The largest influence is exerted by the ambient temperature. In particular, temperature differences that occur from the ground upwards can refract the laser beam. Since the temperature stratification is greatest at ground level, you should mount the measuring tool on a tripod and position it in the centre of the work surface, wherever this is possible. In addition to external influences, device-specific influences (e.g. falls or heavy impacts) can also lead to deviations. For this reason, check the levelling accuracy each time before beginning work. First check the height accuracy and levelling accuracy of the horizontal laser line, then the levelling accuracy of the ver- tical 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, you will need a free measuring distance of 5m on firm ground between two walls (designated A andB). – Mount the measuring tool close to wall A on the rotating platform(12) or a tripod(24), or place it on a firm, flat surface. Switch on the measuring tool in the mode with automatic levelling. Switch on horizontal mode and ver- tical mode with a laser line forwards.

5 m – Aim the laser at the closer wall A and allow the measuring tool to level in. Mark the middle of the point at which the laser lines cross on the wall (pointI). 180°

– Turn the measuring tool 180°, allow it to level in and mark the point where the laser lines cross on the opposite wall B (pointⅡ). – Position the measuring tool –without rotating it– close to wallB, switch it on and allow it to level in.

– Align the height of the measuring tool (using the tripod or by placing objects underneath as required) so that the point where the laser lines cross exactly hits the previ- ously marked pointⅡ on wallB.

– Turn the measuring tool 180° without adjusting the height. Aim it at wallA such that the vertical laser line runs through the already marked pointⅠ. Allow the measuring tool to level in and mark the point where the laser lines cross on wallA (pointⅢ). – The discrepancy d between the two marked pointsⅠ and Ⅲ on wallA reveals the actual height deviation of the measuring tool. The maximum permitted deviation on the measuring dis- tance of 2×5m=10m is as follows: 10m×±0.2mm/m=±2mm. The discrepancy d between pointsⅠ and Ⅲ must therefore amount to no more than 2mm. Checking the Level Accuracy of the Horizontal Line For this check, you will need a free area of 5×5m. – Mount the measuring tool in the middle between walls A and B on the rotating platform(12) or a tripod(24), or place it on a firm, flat surface. Switch on the measuring tool in the mode with automatic levelling. Switch on hori- zontal mode and allow the measuring tool to level in.

– At a distance of 2.5m from the measuring tool, mark thecentre of the laser line on both walls (pointⅠ on wallA andpointⅡ on wallB). 2,5 m 5,0 m 2,5 m

– Set up the measuring tool at a 5m distance and rotatedby 180° and allow it to level in.– Align the height of the measuring tool (using the tripod orby placing objects underneath as required) so that thecentre of the laser line exactly hits the previously markedpointⅡ on wallB.– Mark the centre of the laser line on wallA as pointⅢ (ver-tically above or below pointⅠ).– The discrepancy d between the two marked pointsⅠ andⅢ on wallA reveals the actual horizontal deviation of themeasuring tool.The maximum permitted deviation on the measuring dis-tance of 2×5m=10m is as follows: 10m×±0.2mm/m=±2mm. The discrepancy d between pointsⅠ and Ⅲ must therefore amount to no more than2mm.Checking the Level Accuracy of the Vertical LineFor this check, you will need a door opening (on solidground) which has at least 2.5m of space either side of thedoor.– Place the measuring tool 2.5m away from the door open-ing on a firm, flat surface (not on the rotatingplatform(12) or a tripod). Switch on the measuring toolin the mode with automatic levelling. Switch on verticalmode with a vertical laser line forwards and aim the ver-tical laser line at the door opening. Allow the measuringtool to level in. 2,5 m2,5 m – Mark the centre of the vertical laser line on the floor of thedoor opening (pointⅠ), 5m away on the other side of thedoor opening (pointⅡ) and on the upper edge of the dooropening (pointⅢ). 2 m
