• Do not use the attachment for any purpose other than measuring heights, distances and angles.

• Do not look at strong light sources or the sun with optical instruments.

• Do not use optical instruments to view laser beams.

• Avoid using the attachment while standing on potentially unstable objects such as scaffolding and stairs. Markings on Tool The following pictograms are shown on the tool: Read instruction manual before use.

The Date Code, which also includes the year of manufacture, is printed into the housing. Example: 2010 XX XX Year of Manufacture Package contents The package contains: 1 Optical level 1 Tripod 1 Grade rod 1 Kitbox 1 Plumb bob 1 Instruction manual

• Take the time to thoroughly read and understand this manual prior to operation.16 ENGLISH Description (fi g. A) Your DW096 optical level has been designed to aid in professional construction applications. The attachment can be used both indoor and outdoor for levelling heights and for measuring angles and distances. 1 Eye piece 2 Optical peep sight 3 Focusing knob 4 Objective 5 Leveling screw 6 Flat head mount 7 Horizontal tangent drive 8 Air level 9 Prism Assembly and adjustment Mounting the attachment to the tripod (fi g. B) The tripod has been equipped with a threaded pin to mount the attachment.

• Install the tripod on a relatively smooth and level surface.

• Mount the attachment to the tripod by turning the threaded pin (10) into the receptacle in the base of the attachment.

• Tighten the knob (11).

WARNING: Before mounting the

attachment to the tripod, check that the legs are firmly set, that the tripod is wobble free and level. Installing the tripod (fi g. C & D)

• Release the plastic snap (12) at the end of the nylon strap holding the tripod legs together.

• Spread the legs (13) apart to install the tripod in upright position.

• Adjust the legs (13) if required so that each of the feet (14) is fi rmly touching the ground.

• Step on each of the brackets (15) to press the feet (14) into soft ground.

• Unwind as much cord of the plumb bob (16) as required.

• Wind the surplus of the cord onto the reel (17) if the plumb bob touches the ground.

• Adjust the legs above the middle of the triangle of the base until the tripod is level as indicated by the plumb bob.

• Remove the plumb bob from the hook.

• Mount the attachment to the tripod. Adjusting the leg height (fi g. C)

• Release the quick-adjust latch (19) of the fi rst leg (13) to set the desired height. Re-tighten the latch.

• Repeat as for the other legs. Extending the grade rod (fi g. E) The grade rod consists of several telescoping sections. Each section is locked in place by a spring-loaded button to hold the grade rod at various lengths.

• To extend the grade rod (20) one section, slide the section out until the spring-loaded button (21) engages.

• To shorten the grade rod one section, press the button and slide the section back in. Level adjustment (fi g. A & F) For easy reference, the attachment must be positioned in such a way that the objective is above one of the levelling screws (5) as shown.

• Look straight into the prism (9). The air level (8) should be centred in the vial.

• If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:

• Turn the rear levelling screws (5) to bring the air level (8) to the edge of the vial as indicated.

• Centre the air level by turning the front levelling screw (5). Focusing (fi g. A)

• Look over and through the optical peep sight (2) to point the objective (4) towards the object to be measured.

• Looking through the eyepiece, turn the eyepiece (1) until the hairlines in the reticle are sharp and clear.

• Turn the focusing knob (3) until the object to be measured is sharp and clear. Angular adjustment

• Turn the horizontal tangent drive (7) as necessary.17 ENGLISH OPERATION Instructions for Use

WARNING: Always observe the safety

instructions and applicable regulations. Measuring (fi g. G1 & G2) The attachment is equipped with a stadia reticle to make the measurements as described below. Measuring heights

• Extend the grade rod (20) as far as it will go.

• Place the rod near the object to be measured.

• Point the attachment towards the grade rod.

• Read the height at the middle stadia line. Measuring distances

• Extend the grade rod (20) as far as it will go.

• Place the rod near the object to be measured.

• Point the attachment towards the grade rod.

• Read the grade rod from the upper stadia line (23) and the lower stadia line (24).

• Substract the reading of the lower stadia line from the reading of the upper stadia line.

• Multiply the outcome of the substraction (n) by 100. The result is the estimated distance between the rod and the centre of the attachment in centimetres. Measuring angles

• Point the attachment towards the fi rst object (25).

• Read the object at the vertical hair line (26).

• Align the 0° position on the scale with the eyepiece.

• Rotate the attachment to point it towards the second object (27).

• Read the object at the vertical hair line.

• Read the angle ( ) from the scale. Optional accessories Consult your dealer for further information on the appropriate accessories. MAINTENANCE Your attachment 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. Re-adjusting the quick-adjust latch of the tripod (fi g. C)

• If the quick-adjust latch (19) is loose in the locked position, tighten the quick-adjust latch assembly nut (28). Calibrating the air level (fi g. H) When the attachment is adjusted to level position, the air level (8) should remain centred at any angle.

• Centre the air level using the levelling screws (5).

• Turn the attachment 180°. If the air level does not remain centred, proceed as follows:

• Turn the levelling screws (5) to bring the air level (8) halfway to the centre.

• Turn the adjustment screws (29) to centre the air level using the Hex wrench provided.

• Repeat this procedure until the air level remains centred when the attachment is rotated 180°. Field calibration check (fi g. I1 & I2) The fi eld calibration checks must be performed securely and accurately to make a correct diagnosis. Whenever an error is registered, have the attachment serviced by a qualifi ed repair agent.

• Place the attachment in an area between two grade rods that are at least 50 m apart. Position the attachment so that it is aimed front- to-back towards the grade rods.

• Place the attachment exactly in between the grade rods.

• Point the attachment towards the fi rst rod.

• Read the height at the middle stadia line (a). Register the reading.

• Rotate the attachment 180° to point it towards the second rod.

• Read the height at the middle stadia line (b). Register the reading.

• Move the attachment in a straight line to the fi rst rod. Place the attachment at 2 m from the rod.

• Point the attachment towards the fi rst rod.

• Read the height at the middle stadia line (a’). Register the reading.

• Rotate the attachment 180° to point it towards the second rod.

• Read the height at the middle stadia line (b’). Register the reading.18 ENGLISH

• Calculate the following equation: b’ = a’ - (a - b).

• If the equation is valid, the attachment is properly calibrated.

• If the equation is invalid, the attachment must be serviced. Protecting the Environment Separate collection. This product must not be disposed of with normal household waste.
