Additional safety instructions for non-rechargeable batteries Warning! Batteries can explode or leak, and can cause injury or fire. Observe the instructions as described below. Carefully follow all instructions and warnings on the battery label and package. Always place batteries correctly according to the polarity (+ and -) as marked on the battery and the product. Do not short-circuit the battery terminals. Do not attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries. Do not mix old and new batteries. Replace all of the batteries at the same time with new batteries of the same brand and type. Keep batteries out of reach of children. Remove batteries if the product will not be used for several months. Under extreme conditions, battery leakage may occur. When you notice liquid on the batteries, proceed as follows: - Carefully wipe the liquid off using a cloth. Avoid skin contact. Never attempt to open for any reason. Do not store in locations where the temperature may exceed 40 °C. When disposing of batteries, follow the instructions given in the section "Protecting the environment". Do not incinerate the batteries. Additional safety instructions for lasers Read all of this manual carefully. This product is not to be used by children under 16. Warning! Laser radiation. Do not look into the laser beam. Do not view the laser beam directly with optical instruments. Refer to the laser product characteristics. This laser complies with class 2 according to IEC 60825-1: Ed 1:2001. Do not replace a laser diode with a different type. If damaged, have the laser repaired by an authorised repair agent. Do not use the laser for any purpose other than projecting laser lines. An exposure of the eye to the beam of a class 2 laser is considered safe for a maximum of 0.25 seconds. Eyelid reflexes will normally provide adequate protection. At distances over 1 m, the laser complies with class 1 and thus is considered completely safe.5 ENGLISH Never look into the laser beam directly and intentionally. Do not use optical tools to view the laser beam. Do not set up the tool at a position where the laser beam can cross any person at head height. Do not let children come near the laser. If the laser line brightness suddenly increases or the projected line becomes distorted this may indicate a broken lens. To prevent a laser hazard the tool must not be used. Use non-rechargeable batteries only. Do not connect the laser to any other type of power source. Features

Assembly Warning! Make sure that the tool is switched off. Fitting the batteries (fig. A) Remove the battery cover (5) from the tool. Insert the batteries into the tool in the orientation as shown. Refit the cover and let it click into place. Installing the tool. The tool can be mounted to a wall. To optimise the length of the laser line, the tool must be installed onto its bracket. Fitting the tool to the mounting bracket. Install the tool by clinging the magnetic back of the tool to the ring of the mounting bracket. To remove the tool from the bracket, pull the tool off. Wall mounting (fig. B & C) The tool can be mounted to walls using the mounting bracket with a screw (I), a wall pin (II), or an adhesive strip (III) (optional). Keyhole wall mount The keyhole wall mount (6) is used for mounting to most wall constructions. Drive a screw into the wall. Hang the wall mount onto the fastener by the keyhole (6). Fit the tool to the bracket. Wall pin If the tool is mounted to drywall or other soft materials, the wall pin must be used: Expose the wall pin (7) by rotating the pin base to the right. Hold the mounting bracket with the wall pin at the required height in front of a suitable location and press the pin straight into the wall. Fit the tool to the mounting bracket. Warning! The pin of the bracket is sharp and should be handled with care. Adhesive strip If the unit is mounted to surfaces where screws or nails cannot be used, a removable adhesive adhesive strip (8) must be used. Adhesive strips can be obtained from your local retailer. Warning! Test the strip on an inconspicuous area to make sure it does not damage the surface material. Peel the protective foil from one side of the strip (8). Stick the strip to the bracket. Peel the protective foil from the other side of the strip. Press the bracket with the strip to the wall. Fit the tool to the bracket. To remove the strip, proceed as follows: Remove the tool from the bracket. Hold the bracket with one hand and grasp the end of the adhesive strip with the other hand. Slowly stretch the strip parallel to the wall and away from the bracket, until the entire strip has released. Dispose of the strip. Use Install the tool as required. Switch the tool on. Adjust the position of the tool as necessary to position the laser line. Be aware that extreme temperature changes may affect the adjustment of the unit. After finishing work, always switch off the tool. Setting the laser line (fig. D) The laser line can set to allow horizontal and vertical projection. Press the button (4) into the following positions: - position A: horizontal projection to the left - position B: horizontal projection to the right - position C: vertical projection Adjusting the mounting bracket The position of the bracket can be adjusted to fine-adjust the tool. Move the keyhole portion up or down. Switching on and off To switch on in locked/layout mode, slide the switch (1) into the centre position. To switch on in auto-levelling mode, slide the switch (1) to the right. To switch off, slide the switch (1) to the left. Using the laser in auto-leveling mode (fig. E) Direct the laser line if necessary.6 ENGLISH Place the tool against the wall. Switch on the tool in auto-levelling mode. Note: the laser lines will only level if the tool is kept within 5° from vertical. Using the laser in locked/layout mode (fig. F) Direct the laser line if necessary. Rotate the unit if necessary. Place the tool against the wall. Switch on the tool in locked/layout mode. Using the protractor The protractor (3) can be used to transfer an angle. The protactor screen illuminates in locked/layout mode. Position the unit with the laser line at the reference point. Align the 0° position on the protractor with the laser line. Rotate the unit into the desired angle. Cleaning and maintenance Your tool has been designed to operate over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool care and regular cleaning. To clean the tool, use only mild soap and a damp cloth.
