7. Push the battery compartment cover down until it snaps in place.

8. Slide the Starter Pack down in the laser until it snaps in place (Figure E #4).

Viewing the Battery Meter on the Keypad

When the laser is ON, the battery meter on the keypad (Figure A #3) indicates how much power remains. Each of the four LEDs on the battery meter represents 25% of the power.

• The bottom LED will illuminate and flash when the battery level is low (below 12.5%). The laser may continue to operate for a short time while the battery power continues to drain, but the beam(s) will quickly dim.
• After fresh batteries are installed in the AA Starter Pack, or the 10.8V Li-ion battery is charged, and the laser is turned ON again, the laser beam(s) will return to full brightness and the battery indicator level will indicate full capacity.
• If all 4 LEDs on the battery meter remain ON, this indicates that the laser is not fully powered OFF. When the laser is not in use, make sure the Power/Transport Lock switch is placed to the LEFT to the Locked/OFF position (Figure A #1a).

Turning the Laser On

1. Place the laser on a smooth, flat surface.
2. Slide the Power/Transport Lock switch to the right to the Unlocked/ON position (Figure A #1b).

3. Press each button on the keypad (Figure A #3) to test each laser beam setting.

4. Press once to display a horizontal laser line (Figure A #3a), a second time to display a vertical laser line (Figure A #3b), a third time to display a horizontal line and a vertical line (Figure A #3c), and a fourth time to stop displaying laser lines.

5. Press once to display dots above and below the laser (Figure A#3d) and a second time to stop displaying dots.

6. You can use and together to display laser dots and lines. For example, if you press three times and once, the laser will display cross lines and two dots (Figure A #3e).

7. Check the laser beams. The laser is designed to self-level. If the laser is tilted so much that it cannot self-level ( >4^ ), the laser beam will flash.

8. If the laser is tilted between 4^ and 10^ , the beams will flash constantly.
9. If the laser is tilted greater than 10^ , the beams will continually flash 3 times.
10. If the laser beams flash, the laser is not level (or plumb) and should NOT BE USED for determining or marking level or plumb. Try repositioning the laser on a level surface.
11. If ANY of the following statements are TRUE, continue with the instructions for Checking Laser Accuracy BEFORE USING THE LASER for a project.
12. This is the first time you are using the laser (in case the laser was exposed to extreme temperatures).
13. The laser has not been checked for accuracy in a while.
    • The laser may have been dropped.

Checking Laser Accuracy

The laser tools are sealed and calibrated at the factory. It is recommended that you perform an accuracy check prior to using the laser for the first time (in case the laser was exposed to extreme temperatures) and then regularly to ensure the accuracy of your work. When performing any of the accuracy checks listed in this manual, follow these guidelines:

• Use the largest area/distance possible, closest to the operating distance. The greater the area/distance, the easier to measure the accuracy of the laser.
• Place the laser on a smooth, flat, stable surface that is level in both directions.
  • Mark the center of the laser beam.

Using the Laser

Operating Tips

• Always mark the center of the beam created by the laser.
- Extreme temperature changes may cause movement of internal parts that can affect accuracy. Check your accuracy often while working.
- If the laser is ever dropped, check to make sure it is still calibrated.
- As long as the laser is properly calibrated, the laser is self-leveling. Each laser is calibrated at the factory to find level as long as it is positioned on a flat surface within average ± 4^ of level. No manual adjustments are required.

Turning the Laser Off

Slide the Power/Transport Lock switch to the OFF/Locked position (Figure Ⓐ #1a) when the laser is not in use. If the switch is not placed in the Locked position, all 4 LEDs will remain lit on the Battery Meter on the keypad (A #3).

Using the Pivot Bracket

The laser has a magnetic pivot bracket (Figure B #3, Figure D #1) permanently attached to the unit.

WARNING:

Position the laser and/or wall mount on a stable surface. Serious personal injury or damage to the laser may result if the laser falls.

• The bracket has magnets (Figure B #2) which allow the unit to be mounted to most upright surfaces made of steel or iron. Common examples of suitable surfaces include steel framing studs, steel door frames, and structural steel beams.
• The bracket has a keyhole slot (Figure B #1) so it can be hung from a nail or screw on any kind of surface.

Using the Laser with Accessories

WARNING:

Since accessories other than those offered by DeWALT have not been tested with this laser, use of such accessories with this laser could be hazardous.

Only use DeWALT accessories that are recommended for use with this model. Accessories that may be suitable for one laser may create a risk of injury when used with another laser.

The bottom of the laser is equipped with 1/4-20 and 5/8-11 female threads (Figure ©) to accommodate current or future DeWALT accessories. Only use DeWALT accessories specified for use with this laser. Follow the directions included with the accessory.

Recommended accessories for use with this laser are available at extra cost from your local dealer or authorized service center. If you need assistance locating any accessory, please contact your nearest DeWALT service center or visit our website: http://www.dewalt.eu.

Using the Laser with the Ceiling Bracket

The laser ceiling bracket (if included) offers more mounting options for the laser. The ceiling mount has a clamp at one end which can be fixed to a wall angle for acoustic ceiling installation. At each end of the ceiling mount is a screw hole to allow it to be hung from a nail or screw on any kind of surface.

Once the ceiling mount is secured, its steel plate provides a surface to which the magnetic pivot bracket can be attached. The position of the laser can then be fine-tuned by sliding the magnetic pivot bracket up or down on the wall mount.

Maintenance

• When the laser is not in use, clean the exterior parts with a damp cloth, wipe the laser with a soft dry cloth to make sure it is dry, and then store the laser in the kit box provided.
• Although the laser exterior is solvent resistant, NEVER use solvents to clean the laser.
• Do not store the laser at temperatures below -20 °C (-5 °F) or above 60 °C (140 °F).
• To maintain the accuracy of your work, check the laser often to make sure it is properly calibrated.
• Calibration checks and other maintenance repairs may be performed by DeWALT service centers.

GB

Troubleshooting

The Laser Does Not Turn On

• If AA batteries are being used, make sure:

• Each battery is installed correctly, according to (+) and (−) listed inside the battery compartment.
• The battery contacts are clean and free of rust or corrosion.

• The batteries are new, high-quality, name brand batteries to reduce the chance of battery leakage.

• Make sure the AA batteries or Li-ion rechargeable pack are in proper working condition. If in doubt, try installing new batteries.

• Be sure to keep the laser dry.
• If the laser unit is heated above 50 °C (120 °F), the unit will not turn ON. If the laser has been stored in extremely hot temperatures, allow it to cool. The laser level will not be damaged by using the Power/Transport Lock switch before cooling to its proper operating temperature.

The Laser Beams Flash

The lasers are designed to self-level up to an average of 4^ in all directions. If the laser is tilted so much that the internal mechanism cannot level itself, the laser beams will flash indicating that the tilt range has been exceeded. THE FLASHING BEAMS CREATED BY THE LASER ARE NOT LEVEL OR PLUMB AND SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR DETERMINING OR MARKING LEVEL OR PLUMB. Try repositioning the laser on a more level surface.

The Laser Beams Will Not Stop Moving

The laser is a precision instrument. Therefore, if it is not positioned on a stable (and motionless) surface, the laser will continue to try to find level. If the beam will not stop moving, try placing the laser on a more stable surface. Also, try to make sure that the surface is relatively flat, so that the laser is stable.

Service and Repairs

Note: Disassembling the laser level will void all warranties on the product.

To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and adjustment should be performed by authorized service centers. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury. To locate your nearest DeWALT service center, go to http://www.dewalt.eu.
