C. Battery compartment cover
D. Marking notches
E. Power button
F. Volume Button
G. Accuracy button

H. Magnets

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 and DW089 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: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or when making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.

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.
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 5 minutes.
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 (Fig. 1)

The magnets (H) allow the detector to be mounted to the metal tracks during the installation of a suspended ceiling.

OPERATION

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or when making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.

Instructions for Use

WARNING:

This detector should only be used to detect a Class 2 laser.
- Always observe the safety instructions and applicable regulations for this detector and for the laser.
Before first use, remove and discard the protective tape from the screens.

CAUTION: LASER RADIATION - DO NOT STARE INTO LASER'S BEAM. CLASS 2 LASER PRODUCT.

Detector Operation (Fig. 1)

1. Set up and position the laser.

2. Tum the detector on by pressing the power button (E).

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 centered the detector. For information about the display window indicators and the audible signal indicators, refer to the table titled Indicators.

1. 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 relighten.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or when making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.

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. Unauthorized 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.
• The Dr-WALT digital laser detector is rain resistant but not immersible. Do not pour water on the unit or submerge it under water.
• The best storage place is one that is cool and dry—away from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold.

Detector Troubleshooting

THE DETECTOR WILL NOT TURN ON

• Press and release the power button.
• Check to see that the battery is in place and in the proper position.
  If the detector is very cold, allow it to warm up in a heated area.
• Replace the 9-volt battery. Turn the unit on.
  If the detector still does not turn on, take the detector to a DFWALT service center.

THE DETECTOR'S SPEAKER MAKES NO SOUND

• Ensure that the detector is on.
  Press the volume button. It will toggle on and off.
• Ensure that the laser is turned on and that it is emitting a laser beam.
  If the detector is still not making any sound, take it to a D-WALT service center.

THE DETECTOR DOES NOT RESPOND TO THE BEAM FROM ANOTHER LASER UNIT

• The DWALT Digital Laser Detector has been designed to work only with the DW088 and the DW089 and certain other compatible line lasers.

THE DETECTOR GIVES OFF A TONE BUT THE LCD DISPLAY WINDOW DOES NOT FUNCTION

If the detector is very cold, allow it to warm up in a heated area.
- If the LCD display window is still not functioning, take the detector to a DEWALT service center.

BRIGHT LIGHT SHINING ON DETECTOR CAUSES CONTINUOUS "ON-GRADE" SIGNAL

• In the presence of very intense ambient light, the detector may give a false or erratic indication of volv.
• Reposition the detector out of the intense light or shade the sensor window (I) to resume normal operation.

Cleaning

WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with clean, dry air at least once a week. To minimize the risk of eye injury, always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved eye protection when performing this.

WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. These chemicals may weaken the plastic materials used in these parts. Use a cloth dampened only with water and mild soap. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.
