UNFOLDING THE LASER LEGS

To open the 360° Laser: 1.) Choose a relatively smooth and level surface away from other work site activity to position the tripod. 2.) Unfasten the strap that is around the outside portion of the laser and unfold the three sections of the laser housing which become the legs of the tripod. 3.) Lock the legs in place, by pushing in on the top portion of the hinge until it snaps into place as shown in figure 4. CAUTION: Make sure tripod is secure and sitting on a flat and stable surface.

ADJUSTING THE TRIPOD

The tripod is adjustable from its lowest position of approximately 27 inches (686mm) shown in figure 5 to a maximum height of 5 feet (1524mm) shown in figure 6. Extend any or all of the 5 sections of the tripod to reach the approximate desired height. Extend each section by gently sliding each tube out until it stops and then pull slightly harder on each section to lock. When the approximate desired height is obtained, use the fine adjust knob shown in figure 8 to raise the laser to the final desired height. The fine adjustment knob will raise the laser up to an additional 7 inches (178mm) high. First, loosen the lock knob as shown in figure 7. Turn the fine adjust knob (figure 8) until the desired height is reached. Tighten the lock knob (fig. 7) to secure the tripod at the adjusted height.

The laser can be removed from the tripod for use on any horizontal surface such as a floor or a tabletop. CAUTION: Make sure laser is secure and on a stable surface. Remove the laser by pressing in on the two spring loaded tabs shown in figure 9 and lifting the laser off the tripod. To reattach laser to tripod, grasp the tripod top plate to support, align notches in laser with tabs (buttons) on plate. Press laser down until the tabs to lock into place. Make sure laser is securely fastened.

The laser can also be hung from a joist or other secure structure using the hanging strap included. CAUTION: Make sure laser is securely suspended by the strap. To hang, thread the strap through the slot in the top of the laser and fasten the hook as shown in figures 10 and

11. Adjust the laser so that it

hangs relatively straight. The self-leveling function will then compensate for any minor error. LASER OPERATION

• Before attempting to use the laser, make sure the tool is positioned on a relatively smooth, flat and stable surface.
