Work area safety

a) Do not operate electrical devices in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Electrical devices create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

Electrical safety

a) Electrical plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) devices. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose non-waterproof electrical devices to rain or wet conditions. Do not submerge non-pressure-rated devices in water. Water entering an electrical device will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the power lead. Never use the lead for carrying, pulling or unplugging the device. Keep lead away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled power leads increase the risk of electric shock.
e) If operating an electrical device in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

WARNING: When used in Australia or New Zealand, it is recommended that devices are ALWAYS supplied via Residual Current Device (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30mA or less.

Personal safety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating an electrical device. Do not use potentially dangerous electrical devices while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating potentially dangerous devices may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment including eye protection where appropriate. Protective equipment used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to a power source. Carrying electrical devices with your finger on the switch or energising devices that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the device in unexpected situations.

Use and Care

a) Do not force the device. Use the correct device for your application. The correct device will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the electrical device if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any device that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing electrical devices. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the device accidentally.
d) Store idle devices out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with

the device or these instructions to operate it. Electrical devices may be dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

c) Maintain electrical devices. Check for defects of parts and any other condition that may affect the device's operation. If damaged, have the device repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained electrical devices.
1) Use the device and its accessories in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the conditions and the task to be performed. Use of the device for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Service

a) Have your electrical devices serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the device is maintained.

Safety rules for laser lights

The laser used in this device is a Class 2 laser with maximum power of ≤1mW and a wavelength of 650nm.

These lasers do not normally present an optical hazard, although staring at the beam may cause flash blindness.

WARNING: Avoid direct eye contact.

A hazard may exist if you deliberately stare into the beam. Please observe all safety rules as follows:

• The laser shall be used and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions
• Never aim the beam at any person, and particularly not into the eyes of any person or animal, or any object other than the workpiece
• Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a sturdy workpiece without reflective surfaces. i.e. wood or rough-coated surfaces are acceptable. Reflective sheet steel or similar is not suitable for laser use as the reflective surface could direct the beam back at the operator
• Do not change the laser light assembly. Repairs must only be carried out by the laser manufacturer or an authorised agent. DO NOT exchange with a different type of laser

CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

Battery-powered rotating laser kit for levelling applications during building work, tiling, brick laying, timber frame construction etc.

Unpacking your Tool

• Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Familiarise yourself with all its features and functions
• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If any parts are missing or damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use this tool

Before Use

Inserting batteries

• Remove the cover from the battery compartment in the rear of the Rotary Laser Level Unit (3)
• Insert the batteries, making sure that the positive and negative terminals are the correct way round, as shown on the cover of the battery housing
• Replace the cover

Setting up for levelling

- Screw the Tripod (12) into the brass fitting on the Frame (5), so that the Rotary Head (2) is uppermost

Setting up for plumbing

- Screw the Tripod (12) into the alternative fitting (without brass insert) on the Frame (5), so that the Control Button (8) is uppermost

In all cases

- Use the snap-fit connectors to extend and lock the tripod legs, and the winder handle to extend the mount for the rotary laser level as needed

Calibrating the laser level

Checking horizontal rotational level:

1. Position your Rotary Laser Level Unit (3) approximately 10m away from the wall ensuring that the Control Button (8) is facing the wall. Use the Levelling Screws (6 & 7) to adjust the level so that the bubble is in the centre of each vial
2. Turn the power on for static laser beam, and rotate the Rotary Head (2) manually (if necessary) so that the laser beam is pointing directly ahead on the wall. Mark as point A
3. Turn power off and rotate the unit 180^ so that the back of the Rotary Laser Level Unit is now facing the original wall
4. Re-level the Rotary Laser Level Unit
5. Turn the power on for static laser beam, then rotate the Rotary Head (2) so that the laser beam is pointing onto the original wall. Mark as point B
6. Measure the vertical distance to both points A and B from the floor. No adjustments to the laser level are necessary if the vertical measurements have a difference of 3mm or less

Correcting horizontal rotational level:

1. Adjust the X Axis Levelling Screw (6) (adjacent to the X Vial) so the laser beam shows midway between points A and B. This will cause the bubble in the X Vial (10) to shift from the centre.
2. Centre the X vial bubble by adjusting the X Axis Levelling Screw with Screwdriver (11) supplied
3. Re-check the accuracy of the laser by repeating the calibration process as necessary

Checking vertical rotational level:

1. Position the unit on its tripod on the floor approximately 15m from the base of the wall. The right side of the unit should face the wall. Level the unit by adjusting the Y Axis Levelling Screw (7)
2. Mark a point A on the lower part of the wall. Turn the power on and manually direct the laser beam to point A
3. Turn the Rotary Head (2) so the laser beam moves approximately 4.5m upwards on the wall. Mark as point B
4. Rotate the Rotary Laser Level Unit (3) by 180° so the left side of the unit faces the wall. Re-level the unit by adjusting the Y Axis Levelling Screw. Manually direct the laser beam to point A
5. Turn the Rotary Head so that the laser beam is at the same height as point B. Mark as point C. No adjustments are necessary if the difference between points B and C is 2mm or less

Correcting vertical rotational level:

1. Adjust the Y Axis Levelling Screw (7) (adjacent to the vial) so laser beam is midway between points B and C. This will cause the bubble in the Y Vial (4) to shift from the centre
2. Centre the Y vial bubble by adjusting the Y Axis Levelling Screw with Screwdriver (11) supplied
3. Re-check the accuracy of the laser by repeating the calibration process as necessary

Alternative calibration method

- Using a spirit level, mark a straight horizontal line on the wall at the height required for your project

Checking the X-axis vial:

1. Position the Rotary Laser Level Unit approximately 10m away from the wall, ensuring that the X Vial (10) is facing the wall
2. Turn the power on so that the Rotary Head (2) spins to create a line on the wall
3. Adjust the X Axis Levelling Screw (6) until the laser line matches the line you have drawn on the wall
4. If the bubble is not in the centre of the X Vial (10), use the Screwdriver (11) supplied to adjust the vial until the bubble is centred

Checking the Y-axis vial:

1. Turn the unit through 90° so that the Y Vial (4) is facing the wall
2. Repeat procedure as above, adjusting the Y Axis Levelling Screw (7)
