• NOT STANDARD INCLUDED SAFETY

• All instructions must be read and observed in order to work safely with the measuring tool 2

• Never make warning signs on the measuring tool unrecognisable

The use of other operating or adjusting equipment or the application of other processing methods than those mentioned here can lead to dangerous radiation exposure7

• Do not direct the laser beam at persons or animals and do not stare into the direct or reflected laser beam yourself, not even from a distance (you could blind somebody, cause accidents or damage your eyes) 3

• 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 modifications to the laser equipment

• Have the measuring tool repaired only through qualified 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 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 flammable liquids, gases or dusts (sparks can be created in the measuring tool which may ignite the dust or fumes)

EXPLANATION OF SYMBOLS ON TOOL

2 Read the instruction manual before use 3 Laser radiation / Do not stare into beam / Class 2 laser product 4 Do not dispose of electric tools and batteries together with household waste material USE

• Inserting/replacing the batteries - alkali-manganese batteries are recommended for the measuring tool - do not use rechargeable batteries - to open the battery lid A, press on the latch B and fold the battery lid up - insert 2 x AA/LR06 batteries (pay attention to correct polarisation) - always replace all batteries at the same time - only use batteries from one brand and with the identical capacity - remove the batteries from the measuring tool when not using it for extended periods (when storing for extended periods, the batteries can corrode and self-discharge)

• On/o - to switch on the measuring tool, press on/o button C (immediately after switching on, the measuring tool sends a laser beam out of 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 on/o button C repeatedly until indicator E goes out - slide switch F into position 6 to lock the levelling unit - do not leave the switched on measuring tool unattended and switch the measuring tool off 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

• Operating modes - all modes can be selected WITH automatic levelling (position 5) and WITHOUT automatic levelling (position 6) - press button C repeatedly until the desired mode is set

1) Cross-line mode: the measuring tool generates a horizontal and a vertical

2) Horizontal mode: the measuring tool generates a horizontal laser line 9

3) Vertical mode: the measuring tool generates a vertical laser line 0

• Working with automatic levelling - position the measuring tool on a level, rm support or attach it to tripod N or to the supplied holder8 - slide switch F to position 5 (indicator E lights up green) - 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 lights up 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 range of ±4°, the laser lines light up continuously and indicator E lights up green - 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

• Working without automatic levelling - slide switch F in position 6 (indicator E lights up red) - when automatic levelling is switched o, you can hold the measuring tool freely in your hand or place it on an inclined surface - the laser lines no longer necessarily run vertical to each other

• Attaching with the holder - with holder G you can fasten the measuring tool to dierent objects ranging in thickness between 10 and 60 mm, such as vertical or horizontal boards or pipes - loosen fastening screw H, mount the holder to the desired location and tighten the fastening screw again - place the measuring tool via tripod mount J onto the 1/4” male thread K of the holder and screw it on applying moderate force ! do not overtighten the measuring tool, otherwise it can become damaged - adjust the holder roughly before switching on the measuring tool; for this, loosen locking screw L, move the measuring tool until horizontally positioned at the desired height and retighten the locking screw APPLICATION ADVICE

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

• Laser viewing glasses 1 (not standard included) - laser viewing glasses M 1 lter out the ambient light - this makes the red 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 traffic (the laser viewing glasses do not aord complete UV protection and reduce colour perception)

• Working with the tripod (not standard included) - tripod N 1 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 light9

• 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 - allow the measuring tool to adjust to the ambient temperature before putting it into operation

• 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

• Push switch F 1 into locking position 6 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) ENVIRONMENT

• Do not dispose of electric tools, batteries, accessories and packaging together with household waste material (only for EU countries) - in observance of European Directive 2012/19/EC on waste of electric and electronic equipment and its implementation in accordance with 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 4 will remind you of this when the need for disposing occurs
