• -The use of other operating or adjusting equipment or the application of other processing methods than those mentioned here can lead to dangerous radiation exposure

• Do not direct the laser beam at persons or animals and do not stare into the direct or reected laser beam yourself, not even from a distance (you could blind somebody, cause accidents or damage your eyes)

• If laser radiation strikes your eye, you must deliberately close your eyes and immediately turn your head away from the beam

• Do not make any modications to the laser equipment

• Have the measuring tool repaired only through qualied specialists using original spare parts (this ensures that the safety of the measuring tool is maintained)

• Do not allow children to use the laser measuring tool

• The measuring tool is intended for determining and checking horizontal and vertical lines

• The measuring tool is suitable exclusively for operation in enclosed working sites

• This tool is not intended for professional use

• Save these instructions for future reference and include them with the measuring tool when giving it to a third party TECHNICAL DATA Working range (approx.)* 15m (1910), 20m (1911/1912) Levelling accuracy ±0.5 mm/m Self-levelling range ± 4° Levelling time ≤5 seconds Operating temperature -5°C to +40°C Storage temperature-20°C to +70°C Relative humidity (max.) 90% Laser class 2 Laser type 635nm (1910), 520nm (1911/1912) Tripod mount 1/4” Battery Li-Polymer, 3.7V, 1200mAh Operating time 16hrs (1910), 6hrs (1911/1912) Weight 0.26 kg Dimensions (length x width x height) 71 x 61 x 77 mm

• Important: under unfavourable conditions (e.g. in bright light) the tool's working range will be reduced7 B indicates the remaining battery capacity with dierent colors - GREEN indicates more than 40% of full capacity - YELLOW indicates less than 40% of full capacity - RED indicates only 30 minutes left before turning o automatically

- to switch on the measuring tool, press either laser button C when using it WITHOUT automatic leveling, or slide switch F into position

a to unlock the levelling unit when using it WITH automatic levelling ! immediately after switching on, the measuring tool sends a laser beam out of the exit opening D ! do not point the laser beam at persons or animals and do not stare into the laser beam yourself, not even from a large distance - to switch o the measuring tool, press either laser button C when using it WITHOUT automatic leveling, or slide switch F into position

b to lock the levelling unit when using it WITH automatic levelling - do not leave the switched on measuring tool unattended and switch the measuring tool o after use (other persons could be blinded by the laser beam) - when not using the measuring tool, switch it o in order to extend the battery life

• Working with automatic levelling - position the measuring tool on a level, rm support or attach it to tripod N or to the clamp holder G - slide switch F to position

- if the automatic levelling function is not possible, e.g. because the surface on which the measuring tool stands deviates by more than 4° from the horizontal plane, the laser lines ash and indicator E turns red - 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 once again within the self-levelling without supervision (they could unintentionally blind other persons or themselves)

• Do not operate the measuring tool in explosive environments, such as in the presence of ammable liquids, gases or dusts (sparks can be created in the measuring tool which may ignite the dust or fumes)

Read the instruction manual before use

Do not dispose of electric tools and batteries together with household waste material

Laser radiation / Do not stare into beam / Class 2 laser product USE

! the battery supplied is partially charged (to ensure full capacity of the battery, completely charge the battery in the battery charger before using your power tool for the rst time) ! read and follow the instruction delivered with the charger or power supply - only use a charger or power supply which has an output voltage of 5V and output current of ≥0.5A - connect charger cable P with both charger or power supply (not standard included) and charger interface A - indicator B is blinking RED indicating that the battery is being charged and the current battery capacity enables the tool to be operated for 30 minutes or less - indicator B is blinking YELLOW indicating that the battery is being charged and the current battery capacity enables the tool to be operated for more than 30 minutes - indicator B is blinking GREEN indicating that the battery is charged for more than 90% of full capacity - indicator B turns GREEN continuously when the battery is fully charged

- during use the battery level indicator8 - this makes the light of the laser appear brighter for the eyes - do not use the laser viewing glasses as safety goggles (the laser viewing glasses are used for improved visualisation of the laser beam, but they do not protect against laser radiation) - do not use the laser viewing glasses as sun glasses or in trac (the laser viewing glasses do not aord complete UV protection and reduce colour perception)

• Working with the clamp holder (not standard included)

- with clamp holder G you can attach the measuring tool to dierent objects having a thickness up to 60 mm, such as pipes or edges of a table - mount the the ¼” screw K to the ¼” tripod mount J on top or bottom of the tool

! do not overtighten the measuring tool, otherwise it can become damaged - use handle H to open the clamp and mount it to the desired location by releasing handle H again - loosen knob L

b to adjust the position of the tool and the projection of the laser beam - after adjustment, tighten knob L

• Working with the tripod (not standard included) - tripod N

oers a stable, height- adjustable measuring support - place the measuring tool via tripod mount J onto the 1/4” male thread of the tripod and screw the locking screw of the tripod tight MAINTENANCE / SERVICE

• This tool is not intended for professional use

• Protect the measuring tool against moisture and direct sun light

• Do not subject the measuring tool to extreme temperatures or variations in temperature (the accuracy of the measuring tool can be impaired) - as an example, do not leave it in vehicles for long time range of ±4°, the laser lines light up continuously and indicator E turns o - when not within the self-levelling range of ±4°, working with automatic levelling is not possible, because it cannot be assured that the laser lines run at a right angle to each other - in case of ground vibrations or position changes during operation, the measuring tool is automatically levelled in again - to avoid errors, check the position of the horizontal and vertical laser line with regard to the reference points upon re-levelling

- push laser button C to turn on the laser beam - indicator E turns red continuously in this mode - when automatic levelling is switched o, you can hold the measuring tool freely in your hand or place it on an inclined surface

• Working with additional marks on the laser lines (1911)

- the measuring tool projects additional marks at equal intervals on the laser lines for better assistance when hanging pictures, etc. on walls - if you move the tool away from the projection surface, the distance and length of the additional marks will increase, and decrease if you move the tool towards the projection surface

- make sure that you do not project the laser beam under an angle, otherwise the additional marks will not be projected at equal intervals

• Always use the centre of the laser line for marking (the width of the laser line changes with the distance)

• Laser viewing glasses

(not standard included) - laser viewing glasses M

lter out the ambient light9 national law, electric tools that have reached the end of their life must be collected separately and returned to an environmentally compatible recycling facility - symbol

will remind you of this when the need for disposing occurs

• Avoid heavy impact to or falling down of the measuring tool - damage to the measuring tool can impair its accuracy - after heavy impact or shock, compare the laser lines with a known horizontal or vertical reference line

into locking position

when transporting the measuring tool (this locks the levelling unit, which can be damaged in case of intense movement)

• Keep the measuring tool clean at all times

• Do not immerse the measuring tool in water or other uids

• Wipe o debris using a moist and soft cloth

• Do not use any cleaning agents or solvents

• Regularly clean the surfaces at the exit opening of the laser in particular, and pay attention to any u of bres

• If the tool should fail despite the care taken in manufacturing and testing procedures, repair should be carried out by an after-sales service centre for SKIL power tools - send the tool undismantled together with proof of purchase to your dealer or the nearest SKIL service station (addresses as well as the service diagram of the tool are listed on www.skil.com)

• Be aware that damage due to overload or improper handling of the tool will be excluded from the warranty (for the SKIL warranty conditions see www.skil.com or ask your dealer) ENVIRONMENT
