j. Clamp latch k. Tracks l. Rail m. Latch n. Latch hole o. Clamp knob The detector gives both visual signals through the LCD display window (a) and audio signals through the speaker (b) to indicate the location of the laser beam. The DeWALT Digital Laser Detector can be used with or without the detector clamp. When used with the clamp, the detector can be positioned on a grade rod, leveling pole, stud or post. INTENDED USE The DeWALT Digital Laser Detector helps in locating a laser beam emitted by the laser in bright light conditions or over long distances. The detector can be used in both indoor and outdoor situations where it is difficult to see the laser beam. The detector is designed exclusively for use with the DW088, DW089, DW0811, DW0822, DW0851 DCE088R/G; DCE089R/G; DCE0811R/G (Line) line laser and other compatible DEWALT line lasers. It is not for use with rotating lasers. DO NOT use under wet conditions or in presence of flammable liquids or gases. The digital laser detector is a professional laser accessory. DO NOT let children come into contact with the attachment and laser. Supervision is required when inexperienced operators use this laser.

ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING: Refer to the manual of the

tool to be used with this attachment. Batteries (fig. 1) The digital laser detector is powered by a 9-volt battery. To install the battery provided, lift up on the battery compartment cover (c). Place the 9-volt battery in the compartment, aligning the battery as shown on the embossed icon. Detector Controls (fig. 1) The detector is controlled by the power button (e) and the volume button (f). When the power button is pushed once, the detector is turned on. The top of the sensor window shows the ON icon and the volume icon.ENGLISH

The DeWALT Digital Laser Detector also has an auto shut-off feature. If a laser beam does not strike the beam detection window, or if no buttons are pressed, the detector will shut itself off in about 5minutes. To turn off the audible signal push the button again; the volume icon will disappear. The detector powers up in the narrow accuracy setting (icon appears in the lower left corner). Press the accuracy button (g) once to change to wide accuracy setting (icon now appears in the lower right corner). Accuracy The detector provides two accuracy settings, wide and narrow. In the wide setting, the detector provides a larger tolerance for indicating that the detector is “on grade”. In the narrow setting, this tolerance is reduced for more accurate indication of “on grade”. For the most accurate results, start the work using the wide setting and finish in the narrow setting. Magnets The magnets (h) allow the detector to be mounted to the metal tracks during the installation of a suspended ceiling. OPERATION Instructions for Use

• Always observe the safety instructions and applicable regulations.

• Before first use, remove and discard the protective tape from the screens. Detector Operation (fig. 1)

1. Set up and position the laser.

2. Turn the detector on by pressing the power

3. Position the detector so that the sensor

window (i) is facing the laser beam. Move the detector up or down within the approximate area of the beam, until you have centred the detector. For information about the display window indicators and the audible signal indicators, refer to the table titled Indicators. INDICATORS Above Grade Slightly Above Grade

Grade Slightly Below Grade Below Grade audible signals fast beep fast beep steady tone slow beep slow beep display icons

4. Use the marking notches (d) to accurately mark

the position of the laser beam. Mounting on a Grade Rod (fig. 1, 2)

1. To secure your detector to a grade rod, first

attach the detector to the clamp by pushing in on the clamp latch (j). Slide the tracks (k) on the clamp around the rail (l) on the detector until the latch (m) on the clamp pops into the latch hole (n) on the detector.

2. Open the jaws of the clamp by turning the

clamp knob (o) counterclockwise.

3. Position the detector at the height needed and

turn the clamp knob clockwise to secure the clamp on the rod.

4. To make adjustments in height, slightly loosen

the clamp, reposition and retighten. 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. Detector Service Except for batteries, there are no user serviceable parts in the Digital Laser Detector. Do not disassemble the unit. Unauthorised tampering with the laser detector will void all warranties. Detector Cleaning and Storage

• Dirt and grease may be removed from the exterior of the detector using a cloth or soft, non-metallic brush.ENGLISH

• The DEWALT digital laser detector is rain resistant but not immersible. Do not pour water on the unit or submerge it under water.
