Assembly and adjustment

• Prior to assembly and adjustment, always remove the battery pack.
• Always switch off the tool before inserting or removing the battery pack.

Use only DEWALT battery packs and chargers.

Battery pack (fig. A & C1 - C4)

Charging the battery pack (fig. A)

When charging the battery pack for the first time, or after prolonged storage, it will only accept an 80% charge. After several charge and discharge cycles, the battery pack will attain full capacity.

Always check the mains prior to charging the battery pack. If the mains is functioning but the battery pack does not charge, take your charger to an authorised DEWALT repair agent. Whilst charging, the charger and the battery pack may become warm to touch. This is a normal condition and does not indicate a problem.

Do not charge the battery pack at ambient temperatures < 4 °C or > 40 °C. Recommended charging temperature: approx. 24 °C.

• To charge the battery pack (4), insert it into the charger (6) as shown and plug in the charger. Be sure that the battery pack is fully seated in the charger. The red charging indicator (7) will blink. After approx. 1 hour, it will stop blinking and remain on. The battery pack is now fully charged and the charger automatically switches to equalise mode. After approx. 4 hours, it will switch to maintenance charge mode. The battery pack can be removed at any time or left in the connected charger indefinitely.
• The red charging indicator flashes rapidly to indicate a charging problem. Reinsert the battery pack or try a new one. If the new pack also refuses to charge, have your charger tested by an authorized DEWALT repair agent.
• When plugged into power sources such as generators or sources that convert DC to AC, the red charging indicator may blink twice, switch off and repeat. This indicates a temporary problem of the power source. The charger will automatically switch back to normal operation.

Inserting and removing the battery pack (fig. C1)

• Insert the battery pack (4) into the tool until it clicks in place.
• To remove the battery pack, press the two release buttons (5) simultaneously and pull the pack out of the tool.

Battery cap (fig. C2)

A protective cap is supplied to cover the contacts of a detached battery pack. Without the protective cap in place, loose metal objects could short circuit the contacts, causing a fire hazard and damaging the battery pack.

• Take off the protective cap (4) before placing the battery pack (12) in the charger or tool.
• Place the protective cap over the contacts immediately after removing the battery pack from the charger or tool.

Make sure the protective cap is in place before storing or carrying a detached battery pack.

Equalization mode

The equalization mode helps to maintain the optimum capacity of the battery pack. It is therefore recommended to use the equalization mode weekly or every 10 charge/discharge cycles.

• Charge the battery pack as described above.
• When the charging indicator stops blinking, leave the battery in the charger for approx. 4 hours.

Hot Pack Delay

When the charger detects a battery that is hot, it automatically starts a Hot Pack Delay, suspending charging until the battery has cooled. After the battery has cooled, the charger automatically switches to the pack charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery life. The red indicator (7) blinks long, then short while in the Hot Pack Delay mode.

Low battery indicator (fig C1)

The tool has been equipped with a low battery indicator (8) located on the control panel. The low battery indicator is lit while the tool is switched on. It will blink to indicate that the battery pack needs to be recharged and the tool will automatically shut down.

- Switch off the tool and take out the battery pack (4) to charge it as soon as the indicator blinks.

The tool remains non-operational as long as a low battery pack is attached to it.

Battery type (fig. C3 & C4)

The tool is suitable for battery packs with different voltages.

• To fit battery packs of 18 volt, rotate the adapter plate (13) into position A.
• To fit battery packs of 9.6, 12 or 14.4 volt, rotate the adapter plate (13) into position B.

Refer to the table in the back for a selection of applicable battery packs.

Setting up the tool (fig. D1 & D2)

The tool facilitates various set-ups, making it useful for several applications.

Floor set-up (fig. D1)

• Place the tool on a relatively smooth and level surface.
• Adjust the tool for a level application.

Tripod set-up (fig. D2)

The tool has been equipped with a tripod receptacle for mounting to the DE0735/DE0736 tripod (optional) or any other tripod with the required ratings stated in the technical data.

• Place the tripod (14) on a relatively smooth and level surface.
• Mount the tool to the tripod by turning the threaded pin (15) into the receptacle (16) in the base.
• Adjust the tool for a level application.

Adjusting the tool (fig. A)

• Place the tool into the required position as shown.
• To initiate the leveling procedure, switch on the tool. The leveling procedure is indicated by the flashing of the leveling indicators (9 & 10) and the laser beam. Once the tool has found its level position the leveling indicators and the laser beam will stop flashing and remain on.
• The leveling indicators and the laser beam repeatedly flash three times rapidly to indicate that the tool has been set up at a slope that is beyond the self-leveling range of 5°. Switch the tool off, re-adjust the tool set-up within the self-leveling range and switch the tool on again.

Aligning the laser line (fig. E1 & E2)

• With the tool switched on and the laser head rotating, align the laser line with the position mark.
• If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:

With tool in floor set-up (fig. E1):

- The tool can be placed on any sturdy object to obtain the required height.

With tool in tripod set-up (fig. E2):

- Adjust the tripod to set the tool to the required height.

Instructions for use

Always observe the safety instructions and applicable regulations.

• Always mark the center of the laser line or dot.
- To increase working distance and accuracy, set up the tool in the middle of your working area.
- Extreme temperature changes cause movement of internal parts that may affect the accuracy of the tool. Regularly check the accuracy while using the tool under these circumstances.
- Although the tool corrects small out-of-level errors automatically, when it has registered a bump, re-adjustment to balance or set-up may be required.
- If the tool has been dropped or has tipped over, have the laser head calibrated by a qualified repair agent.

Prior to operation:

• Carry out the field calibration checks to confirm its accuracy.
• Make sure the tool has been set up securely.

Switching on and off (fig. A)

• To switch the tool on, press the on/off switch (1).
• To switch the tool off, press the on/off switch (1) again.

Out-of-level alert

The out-of-level alert activates automatically 8 seconds after the leveling procedure has been completed.

Once the out-of-level alert is activated, the tool monitors its level position continuously.

Depending on the registered level of deviation the tool will respond to level errors as follows:

• Deviations < 2mm over 10m : a level error is automatically corrected without notifying.
• Deviations 2 - 20 mm over 10 m: a level error is automatically corrected. The laser head temporarily stops rotating and the laser beam starts flashing to indicate that the tool re-adjusts to level position.
• Deviations > 20 mm over 10 m: a level error leads to interruption of the tool's operation. The laser head stops rotating and the laser beam goes off.

A rapidly beeping audio signal is produced and the on/off indicator flashes simultaneously.

To resume the operation:

- Switch the tool off. Check the balance and setup and re-adjust if required before switching the tool on again.

Digital laser detector (fig. F)

The detector helps locating the position of a laser beam in bright light conditions or over long distances. It produces both visual and audio signals as the rotating laser beam crosses the detector.

The attachment can be used both indoor and outdoor whenever it is difficult to locate the laser beam.

Accuracy

When the tool is operated using the detector, the accuracy level of the detector needs to be added to that of the tool.

• Constant accuracy (detector in narrow setting) +/- 1.0 mm/m
• Nominal accuracy (detector in wide setting) +/- 3.0 mm/m

- For most accurate results, start the operation using the wide setting and finish in the narrow setting.

Optional accessories

Maintenance

Your DEWALT power tool 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.

Field calibration check (fig. G1 & G2)

The field calibration checks must be performed securely and accurately to make a correct diagnosis. Whenever an error is registered, have the tool calibrated by a qualified repair agent.

Always have the laser head calibrated by a qualified repair agent.

• Place the tool in an area at about 15 m from a vertical surface.
• With the tool in a tripod set-up, adjust the tool for a level application.

To perform a level check of the X-axis (fig. G1)

• Position the tool so that the X-axis is parallel with the vertical surface.
• Switch on the tool and rotate the head until the laser dot appears on the vertical surface.
• Mark the centre of the laser beam.
• Switch off the tool and rotate it 180^ so that the X-axis is parallel with the vertical surface the other way around.
• Switch on the tool, rotate the head and once again mark the centre of the laser dot on the surface. Switch off the tool.
• Measure the difference between the markings.
• If the difference between the markings is 3.2 mm or less, the laser head is properly calibrated.
• If the difference between the markings is more than 3.2 mm, the laser head must be calibrated.

To perform a check of the Y-axis (fig. G2)

• Position the tool so that the Y-axis is parallel with the vertical surface.
• Following the same procedure as described above, mark the centre of the laser dot on the surface with the tool in this position, after which the tool is rotated 180^ to mark the centre of the laser dot once again.
• Measure the difference between the markings.
• If the difference between the markings is 3.2 mm or less, the laser head is properly calibrated.
• If the difference between the markings is more than 3.2 mm, the laser head must be calibrated.
