The product must not be exposed to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, intense vibra- tion, high mechanical stress, or humidity. Handle the product with care. Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a low height may damage the product. The product must not be operated in explosive environments. Do not leave packaging material lying around carelessly, as it could become a dangerous plaything for children. The product must be operated under the supervision of qualied personnel in schools, educational facilities, hobby and DIY workshops. For installations in industrial facilities, follow the accident prevention regulations for electri- cal systems and equipment issued by the national safety organisation or the corresponding national authority. If you have any questions that are not answered in these operating instructions, please contact our technical department or another specialist. Laser warning signs in different languages Operating instructions Batteries must be kept out of reach of children. Do not leave batteries lying around, as there is risk that children or pets swallow them.

Batteries must always be replaced/exchanged at the same time. Mixing old and new batte- ries in the device can lead to battery leakage and device damage.

Batteries must not be dismantled, short-circuited or thrown into open ames. Never attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries. This may cause an explosion!

Make sure that the cable is not pinched, kinked or damaged by sharp edges.

Always lay cables so that nobody can trip over or become entangled in them. Risk of injury! The product can be powered with rechargeable batteries. However, the operating time is reduced due to the lower voltage (non-rechargeable battery = 1.5 V, rechar- geable battery = 1.2 V). We therefore recommend operating the product only with high-quality alkaline bat- teries to ensure long and reliable operation. 6 Operating elements 1 Laser window 2 Power button with LED (red and green) 3 Battery cover 4 Sliding switch 5 Tripod mount 7 Inserting / replacing batteries Slide the battery cover on the rear of the cross-line laser outwards (A), and then remove it carefully. Insert three AAA batteries, observing the correct po- larity. The positive pole is marked on the batteries and the battery compartment. Replace the cover and slide it until it clicks into place. 8 Operating the product

8.1 Using the tripod

The cross-line laser can be fastened to the supplied tripod via the tripod socket (5) on the underside. The height of the tripod can be adjusted. Align the tripod mounting plate horizontally with the built-in level.

8.2 Using the automatic levelling system

Place the cross-line laser on a horizontal and stable sur- face or mount it on a tripod. Move the sliding switch (4) to the „closed lock“ position. The laser will switch on. When the cross-line laser is outside the self-levelling range, the power button (2) will light up red and the laser lines will ash. The power button (2) will light up green when the cross-line laser is within the self-levelling range of ±4°. The levelling process is complete when the laser lines stop moving. You can now, for example, mark a horizontal and/or a vertical line on the wall in order to lay tiles, etc. To switch off the laser, move the sliding switch (4) to the „open lock“ position. The lasers will be disabled and the mechanics of the au- tomatic levelling system inside the cross-line laser will be xed in place. The cross-line laser is now switched off.

8.3 Operating the laser without the automatic levelling system

Æ This mode of operation can be used, for example, to project a diagonal line onto a wall in order to mark the positions of several pictures on the wall. You can hold the cross-line laser in your hand or use the supplied tripod to x the cross-line laser in a diagonally inclined position. Press the power button (2). The laser is now switched on and ready for use. To switch off the laser, press the power button (2) again. When the automatic levelling system is switched off, the laser lines do not mark any horizontal or vertical line, because the mechanical system inside the cross-line laser cannot move freely and align itself!

8.4 LED status display

The LED on the power button indicates different operating statuses, which are shown in the following table. Status Green Red Laser Battery empty Off Flashing Off Levelling OK On Off On Out of the levelling range Off On Flashing Automatic levelling off Off On On

8.5 Checking the vertical line

Place the device approximately 5 m away from a wall. Fasten a plumb bob to the wall with a

2.5 m long cord and make sure that the plumb bob can swing freely. Switch on the device and

align the vertical laser with the plumb line. The accuracy is within the specied tolerance if the distance between the laser line and the plumb line is not more than ± 2.5 mm.

8.6 Checking the horizontal line

Set up the device approximately 5 m from a wall and switch on the laser. Mark point B on the wall. Turn the laser cross approximately 2.5 m to the right and mark point C. Check that the distance between the horizontal lines to point C and point B is within ± 2.5 mm. Repeat the process by turning the laser to the left.

8.7 Checking the calibration

To check the laser calibration, place the device in between 2 walls, which must be at least 5 metres apart. Turn the device on with automatic levelling enabled. For optimal calibration results, mount the device on a tripod.

1. Mark point A1 on the wall.

2. Rotate the device 180° and mark point A2. You now have a horizontal reference between

3. Place the device as close as possible to the wall at the height of point A1.

4. Rotate the device 180° and mark point A3. The difference between points A2 and A3 is

the tolerance. If A2 and A3 are more than 0.5 mm/m apart, adjustment is required (at a distance of 4 m, this corresponds to value of 2 mm). In this event, contact your authorised dealer.

19 Cleaning and maintenance This product does not require any user maintenance; never attempt to dismantle it (except for inserting or replacing the batteries as described in these operating instructions). Servicing or repair work may only be carried out by a specialist. Turn off the product before cleaning, ensuring that the laser lines are switched off. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents, as these can cause discolouration. To prevent scratch marks, do not press too strongly on the surface when cleaning. If the device is dusty, clean it with a brush before wiping it with a damp cloth. 10 Disposal
