Working safely with the measuring tool is possible only when the operating and safety information are read completely and the instructions contained therein are strictly followed. Never make warning labels on the measuring tool unrecognisable. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

• Caution - The use of other operating or adjusting equipment or the application of other processing methods than those mentioned here, can lead to dangerous radiation exposure.
  The measuring tool is delivered with a warning label in German language (marked with the number 7 in the representation of the measuring tool on the graphic page).

IEC 60825-1:2007-03, < 1 mW, 635 nm
Laser Radiation
Do not stare into beam
Class 2 laser product

Before putting into operation for the first time, attach the supplied sticker in your national language over the German text on the warning label.

Do not direct the laser beam at persons or animals and do not stare into the laser beam yourself. This measuring tool produces laser class 2 laser radiation according to IEC 60825-1. This can lead to persons being blinded.

• 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 afford complete UV protection and reduce colour perception.

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.

Assembly

Inserting/Replacing the Battery

Use only alkali-manganese batteries.

To open the battery lid 5, press on the latch 4 and fold the battery lid up. Insert the batteries. When inserting, pay attention to the correct polarity according to the representation on the inside of the battery compartment.

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 discharge themselves.

Operation

Initial Operation

Protect the measuring tool against moisture and direct sun irradiation.
- Do not subject the measuring tool to extreme temperatures or variations in temperature. As an example, do not leave it in vehicles for longer periods. In case of large variations in temperature, 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 line with a known horizontal or vertical reference line.
- Switch the measuring tool off during transport. When switching off, the levelling unit, which can be damaged in case of intense movement, is locked.

Switching On and Off

To switch on the measuring tool, push the On/Off switch 3 to the "On" position. Immediately after switching on, the measuring tool sends two laser beams out of the exit opening 1.

Do not point the laser beam at persons or animals and do not look into the laser beam yourself, not even from a large distance.
To switch off the measuring tool, push the On/Off switch 3 to the "Off" position. When switching off, the levelling unit is locked.
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.

Working with Automatic Levelling (see figures A-B)

Position the measuring tool on a level and firm support, hold it by the contact surfaces 6 against a vertical surface or attach it to a tripod 11.

After switching on, the levelling function automatically compensates irregularities within the self-levelling range of ± 4^ . The levelling is finished as soon as the laser beams do not move any more. The indicator 2 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 indicator 2 lights up red and the laser is automatically switched off. In this case, bring the measuring tool to the level position or hold it by the contact surfaces 6 straightly against a vertical surface, and wait for the self-levelling to take place. As soon as the measuring tool is within the self-levelling range of ± 4^ again, the indicator 2 lights up green and the laser beams are switched on.

When not within the self-levelling range of ± 4^ , working with the measuring tool is not possible, because it cannot be assured that the laser beams 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 Advice

Working with the Tripod (see figure C)

A tripod 11 offers a stable, height-adjustable measuring support. Place the measuring tool via the tripod mount 8 onto the 1/4'' male thread of the tripod and screw the locking screw of the tripod tight.

Holding Laterally against a Wall or Object (see figure D)

For quick checking of heights, the measuring tool can be held by the contact surfaces 6 laterally against a vertical wall, cabinets, etc. Take care to hold the measuring tool straightly and calmly.

Laser viewing glasses (Accessory)

The laser viewing glasses filter 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 afford complete UV protection and reduce colour perception.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning

Store and transport the measuring tool only in the supplied protective case.

Keep the measuring tool clean at all times.

Do not immerse the measuring tool into water or other fluids.

Wipe off 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 fluff of fibres.

If the measuring tool should fail despite the care taken in manufacturing and testing procedures, repair should be carried out by an authorized after-sales service centre for Bosch power tools.

In all correspondence and spare parts orders, please always include the 10-digit article number given on the type plate of the measuring tool.

In case of repairs, send in the measuring tool packed in its protective case 9.
