Turning On/Off

To turn on the laser and unlock the pendulum, rotate the On/Off dial to the desired position. The remaining battery life will be displayed. WARNING! Do not look directly into laser apertures. Power on indicator will display, and horizontal level line will immediately be emitted from aperture in the laser housing.

ON

Turns ON the laser and unlocks the pendulum to enable self-leveling.

ON

Turns ON the laser but does not unlock the pendulum (self leveling is disabled). The laser lines will flash once every 8 seconds to indicate that the projected lines are not level or plumb.

NOTICE: The ON mode disables self-leveling and therefore is not intended for projecting a level or plumb line.

OFF

Turns OFF the laser and locks the pendulum. When not in use, turn off the tool and store the Laser Level in the protective carrying case.

Use the PLANE SELECTOR buttons to turn on/off individual planes. Default is horizontal or last used plane(s).

Horizontal plane

Front vertical plane

Side vertical plane

3 lasers blink rapidly when all planes are turned off, laser is ON, unlocked and tilted.

Using the Laser Level

1. For best results, place the tool on a work surface that is:

2. sturdy
   • level (within 4 degrees of true level)

3. free of vibrations

4. 90^ to the work area

5. Turn on the tool and press the desired Plane Selector button(s).

6. The tool will self-level when placed on surfaces within 4 degrees of true level when dial is unlocked and on.
7. The tool is ready once the emitted lines are continuous and no longer moving on the work surface.
8. If the tool cannot achieve a level state (i.e., the work surface is > 4 degrees off true level), the laser points will flash rapidly (3 flashes per second). Relocate or adjust the work surface.

Troubleshooting

If the tool does not turn on:

• Ensure battery is installed properly. Fuel gauge should indicate remaining charge when correctly installed.
• Ensure battery is charged.
• Ensure the tool's internal temperature is within specified operating ranges. If stored in excessive heat or cold, allow at least 2 hours to acclimate to ambient temperature before turning on the tool. If problem persists, please contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for support.

ACCURACY FIELD CHECK

NOTICE Perform the Accuracy Field Check procedure immediately upon unboxing of each new Laser Level and before exposure to jobsite conditions. See "Accuracy Field Check" for information. Should any deviation from listed product accuracy be found, please contact a MILWAUKEE service facility. Failure to do so could result in rejection of warranty claim.

Influences on Accuracy

Ambient temperature gradients can impact laser accuracy. For accurate and repeatable results, the following procedure should be conducted with the laser elevated off the ground and placed in the center of the working area.

Abusive treatment of the Laser Level, such as excessive impacts from drop, can also lead to deviations in product accuracy.

Therefore, it is recommended to conduct the Field Check procedure after any impact or before completing any critical jobs.

Horizontal Height Accuracy

A free measuring distance of approximately 66' on a firm surface between two walls or structures A and B is required for this check.

It is also suggested to mount the Laser Level to a Tripod for easy adjustment.

1. Securely mount the tool within 1' of wall A.

A B I 1' 66'

1. Turn the tool to ON. Turn on Horizontal Plane and Side Vertical Plane.
2. Direct the front laser beams against the nearest wall A and allow to self-level. Mark the center of where the horizontal and vertical lines cross on the wall (point I).
3. Rotate the tool 180^ without changing the height, allow it to self-level, and mark the center of where the horizontal and vertical lines cross on the opposite wall B (point II).

A 180° I B II

1. Move the tool within 1' of wall B. Turn the tool to ON. Turn on Horizontal Plane and Side Vertical Plane. Align intersection of the horizontal and vertical lines in the general direction of point II on wall B.

A I B II 1' 1

1. Adjust the height of the tool (using the tripod or by adding shims, if required) such that the intersection of the vertical and horizontal lines are projected exactly against the previously marked point II on wall B. Allow the tool to self-level.
2. Rotate the tool 180° without changing the height, allow it to self-level, and mark the intersection of the laser lines on wall A (point III). Point III should be aligned as vertically above or below point I on wall A as possible.

A ↓ d III 180° B II

1. The distance between points I and III on wall A is the height deviation (d) of the tool. This distance should not exceed 1/8" (max.) at 33' (1/2" at 132'). For the Measuring distance of 2 x 66' = 132', the maximum allowable deviation (d) is: 132' x ±1/8" ÷ 33' = ±1/2".

Vertical Leveling Accuracy

A door opening with approximately 8' of space on each side of the opening is required for this check.

1. Securely mount the tool 8' from one side of the door opening.
2. Turn the tool to ON. Turn on one Vertical Plane.
3. Position the tool with the laser line towards the door opening. Allow the tool to self-level.
4. Mark the center of the vertical laser line on the floor in the middle of the door opening (point I), at a distance of 8' beyond the door opening (point II), and at the upper edge of the door opening (point III).

Ⅲ 7 Ⅱ I 8' 8'

1. Move the laser level directly behind point II on the other side of the door. Align the same vertical laser line so the center is directly aligned with points I and II.
2. Mark the center of the vertical line at the upper edge of the door opening (point IV).
3. Measure the height of the door opening.
4. The distance between points III and IV on the upper door opening is the vertical deviation (d) of the tool.

III d I II

1. The maximum vertical deviation (d) is: dmax = 2X H (door opening) x ±1/8" ÷ 33'

Example: for a door opening height of 7', the maximum permitted deviation (d) is: dmax = 2 x 7' x ±1/8" ÷ 33' = ±0.05"

Therefore, the measurement between points III and IV on the upper door opening should not exceed 0.05" in a 7' doorway.

1. Repeat process with other Vertical Plane.
