Operating Tips

• To extend battery life per charge, turn the laser off when it is not in use.
• To ensure the accuracy of your work, check the laser calibration often. Refer to Checking the Calibration.
• Before attempting to use the laser, make sure the tool is positioned on a relatively smooth, secure surface.
• Always mark the center of the laser line or dot. If you mark different parts of the beam at different times you will introduce error into your measurements.
• To increase working distance and accuracy, set up the laser in the middle of your working area.
• When attaching to a tripod or wall, mount the laser securely.
• When working indoors, a slow rotary head speed will produce a visibly brighter line, a faster rotary head speed will produce a visibly solid line.
• To increase beam visibility, wear Laser Enhancement Glass es (Figure) and/or use a Laser Target Card (Figure) to help find the beam.
• Extreme temperature changes can cause movement or shifting of building structures, metal tripods, equipment, etc., which can effect accuracy. Check your accuracy often while working.
• If the laser is dropped or has suffered a sharp blow, have the calibration system checked by a qualified service center before using the laser.

Turning the Laser On

Insert the fully charged DEWALT 20V battery pack as shown in FigureD.
2.1Gently press the power button to power ON the laser:

The power LED indicator light (Figure) will illuminate.
- Self-leveling mode is activated automatically and the laser unit will self-level. Once the laser unit is level, the beam will rotate clockwise once at 600RPM.
30 sec. after the last button press, HI Mode (Height of Instrument, Anti-Drift) is activated automatically and the HI LED (FigureA ②) will illuminate. (You can disable HI Mode by holding down the Slope Mode button for 2 secs. The laser will beep twice and the HI Mode LED will turn off. NOTE: when HI Mode is disabled, the laser cannot detect any movement after setup, so accuracy cannot be guaranteed.)

1. Press (Figure A16) to adjust the Rotation Speed of the laser beam through its 4 preset speeds (150, 300, 600, and 1200 RPM). NOTE: Accuracy is best optimized at 600 RPM or less.

2. To change the Direction of the laser beam while in self-leveling mode, press or (Figure A18 or 19).
   Press the Scan Mode button (Figure A 17) to set the laser to scan in 0^ , 15^ , 45^ , or 90^ angle mode.

3. is used to make the laser head sweep back and forth, creating a short, bright laser line. This short line is much brighter and more visible than when the unit is in full rotation mode.
   The direction of the scan zone can be controlled with the arrow buttons and (Figure or)

4. If you press the Slope Mode button to turn ON Slope Mode, the unit automatically engages the X-Axis. This allows you to slope the laser in the direction of the X-Axis, as indicated by the X mark on the top roll cage.

5. In certain situations, it may be desirable to slope the laser in the Y-axis. The direction of Slope Mode can be changed back and forth between the Y-axis and the X-axis by pressing the X-Y axis button (Figure A 3).

6. If using X-axis slope, the X-axis LED (Figure A 15) will light, or if using Y-axis slope, the Y-axis LED (Figure A 14) will light instead.

7. When in Slope Mode, press or to tilt the laser head up and down (adjust the elevation of the laser beam).

Each quick press of or will move the slope by 0.01^ (1/16" @ 30ft. or 1.6mm @ 10m).
If you press and hold or between 2 sec - 10 sec, the slope will move from 0.01^ /sec to 0.2^ /sec.
- If you press and hold or longer than 10 sec, the slope will move 0.2^ /sec.

1. To turn off the laser unit, press and hold the power button for 3 secs.
2. BEFORE using the laser for your first project, follow the instructions for Checking the Calibration.

NOTE: When you press the Slope Mode button again, the laser will return to self-level mode.

Checking the Calibration

Field calibration checks should be done frequently. This section provides instructions for performing simple field calibration checks of your DeWALT Rotary Laser. Field calibration checks do not calibrate the laser. That is, these calibration checks do not correct errors in the leveling or plumb capability of the laser. Instead, these checks indicate whether or not the laser is providing a correct level and plumb line. These checks cannot take the place of professional calibration performed by a DeWALT service center.

Level Calibration Check (X-axis)

Position a tripod securely on the floor between two walls that are at least 50 feet apart. The exact location of the tripod is not critical.
2. Make sure that the top of the tripod is roughly level.

• The laser will self-level only if the top of the tripod is within ± 5^ of level.
• If the laser is set up too far out of level, it will beep when it reaches the limit of its leveling range. No damage will be done to the laser, but it will not operate in an "out of level" condition.

3 Attach a tripod adapter (Figure ①) to the laser unit. The adapter may be assembled to the bottom for level mode (Figure ②) or to the side for plumb (vertical) mode (Figure ①③).
4. Place the laser with the attached adapter on the tripod and screw the threaded knob on the tripod into the female thread on the tripod adapter.
5. Position the laser unit on the tripod so that the laser's X-axis points directly toward one of the walls (Figure M 1).
6. Turn the laser unit on and allow it to self-level.
7. Where the beam appears on the left wall, mark point A, and where the beam appears on the right wall mark point B.
8. Turn the laser unit 180^ so that the X-axis points directly toward the opposite wall (Figure M 2).
9. Allow the laser unit to self-level.
10. Where the beam appears on the left wall, mark point AA, and where the beam appears on the right wall mark point BB.
11 Calculate the Total Error using the following equation:

$$ \text {T o t a l E r r o r} = (\mathrm {A A - A}) - (\mathrm {B B - B}) $$

1. If your Total Error measurement is greater than the Allowable Error for the corresponding Distance Between Walls in the following table, the laser must be serviced at an authorized service center.

L (Distance Between Walls)	Allowable Error
40' (15m) 3/64" (1.5mm)
50' (20m) 1/16" (2mm)
70' (25m) 3/32" (2.5mm)
100' (30m)	1/8" (3mm)

E

Level Calibration Check (Y-axis)

1. Set up a tripod between two walls that are at least 50 feet apart. The exact location of the tripod is not critical.

2. Make sure that the top of the tripod is roughly level.

3. The laser will self-level only if the top of the tripod is within ± 5^ of level.

4. If the laser is set up too far out of level, it will beep when it reaches the limit of its leveling range. No damage will be done to the laser, but it will not operate in an "out of level" condition.

5. Attach a tripod adapter (Figure ⑥①) to the laser unit. The adapter may be assembled to the bottom for level mode (Figure ⑥②) or to the side for plumb (vertical) mode (Figure ①③).

6. Place the laser with the attached adapter on the tripod and screw the threaded knob on the tripod into the female thread on the tripod adapter.
7. Position the laser unit on the tripod so that the laser's Y-axis points directly toward one of the walls (Figure N 1).
8. Turn the laser unit on and allow it to self-level.
9. Where the beam appears on the left wall, mark point A, and where the beam appears on the right wall mark point B.
10. Turn the laser unit 180^ so that the Y-axis points directly toward the opposite wall (Figure ②).
11. Allow the laser unit to self-level.
12. Where the beam appears on the left wall, mark point AA, and where the beam appears on the right wall mark point BB.
    Calculate the Total Error using the following equation:

Total Error = (AA-A) - (BB-B)

1. If your Total Error measurement is greater than the Allowable Error for the corresponding Distance Between Walls in the following table, the laser must be serviced at an authorized service center.

L (Distance Between Walls) Allowable Error

40' (15m) 3/64" (1.5mm)

50' (20m) 1/16" (2mm)

70' (25m) 3/32" (2.5mm)

100' (30m) 1/8" (3mm)

Plumb Error Check

Perform this check using a wall that is no shorter than the tallest wall for which this rotary laser will be used (Figure ①).

Using a standard plumb bob as a reference, mark the top and bottom of a wall. (Be sure to mark the wall and not the floor or ceiling).
2. Position the rotary laser securely on the floor approximately 3^ (1m) from the wall.
3. Turn the laser on and point the laser dot at the mark on the bottom of the wall.
4 Using the or arrow on the Remote Control (Figure B6 or B7), rotate the dot upwards.
5. If the center of the dot scans over the mark on the top of the wall, the laser is properly calibrated.

Using the Laser

Using the Laser on a Tripod

Position a tripod securely and set it to the desired height. Make sure that the tripod has a 5/8 -11 threaded screw to ensure secure mounting of the laser unit.
2. Make sure that the top of the tripod is roughly level.

• The laser will self-level only if the top of the tripod is within ± 5^ of level.
• If the laser is set up too far out of level, it will beep when it reaches the limit of its leveling range. No damage will be done to the laser, but it will not operate in an "out of level" condition.

Attach a tripod adapter (Figure G 1) to the bottom of the laser unit (Figure G 2).

Place the laser with the attached adapter on the tripod and screw the threaded knob on the tripod into the female thread on the tripod adapter.

Turn the laser ON and allow it to self-level in horizontal (level) mode (Figure 1).

If you want to use the laser in vertical (plumb) mode, follow these steps while the laser is still ON:

• Carefully remove the laser unit from the tripod.
• Remove the tripod adapter (Figure 1) from the bottom of the laser unit (Figure 2) and attach it to the side (Figure 3).
• With the laser in the vertical (plumb) position, attach the laser unit to the tripod (Figure 14). The Dot rotates down to 6 o'clock.
• Press to make sure the laser rotates.

Adjust the rotation speed and controls, as desired (Figure P).

Using the Laser on a Floor

The laser level can be positioned directly on the floor for leveling and plumbing applications such as framing walls.

Place the laser on a relatively smooth and level surface where it will not be disturbed or exposed to vibration.

Position the laser for a level setting (Figure H 1).

Turn the laser ON and allow it to self-level in level (horizontal) mode.

If you want to use the laser in plumb (vertical) mode, carefully turn the laser so the keypad is at the top (Figure 2). The Dot rotates down to 6 o'clock. Press to make sure the laser rotates.

Adjust the rotation speed and controls, as desired (Figure P).

NOTE:

The laser will be easier to set up for wall applications if the rotation speed is set to 0 RPMs and the remote control is used to line up the laser with control marks. The remote allows one person to set up the laser.

Using the Laser With a Laser Detector

How the Detector works

Some laser kits include a DeWALT Digital Laser Detector. The DeWALT Digital Laser Detector allows you to locate a laser beam emitted by a rotary 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 not for use with non-rotating lasers but is compatible with most rotary red-beam (DW080LRS) and green beam (DW080LGS) lasers.
• The detector can be set to indicate the location of the beam to either the nearest 5/64 (2 mm) or the nearest 3/64 (1 mm).
• The detector gives both visual signals through the display window (Figure F 6) and audio signals through the speaker (Figure F 5) to indicate the location of the laser beam.

Detector's Indicators

	Above Grade	Slightly Above Grade	On Grade	Slightly Below Grade	Below Grade
Audible	Fast	Fast	Steady	Slow	Slow
Signal	Beep	Beep	Tone	Beep	Beep
Display Icon

• 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 (Figure G). To connect the detector to the clamp:

• Push in the clamp latch (Figure G 3).

• Slide the tracks on the clamp (Figure ⑥④) around the rail on the back of the detector (Figure ①⑪) until the button (Figure ⑥⑤) on the clamp snaps into the latch hole on the back of the detector (Figure ①⑫).

• Turn the clamp knob (Figure 6) counterclockwise to open the jaws on the clamp.

• Place the clamp on the rod (Figure G 2) so that the detector is positioned at the height needed to work with the laser.

• Turn the clamp knob (Figure 6) clockwise to secure the clamp on the rod.

Using the Detector

1. Set up and position the rotary laser that you will be using according to the manufacturer's directions. Turn the laser on and make sure the laser is rotating and emitting a laser beam.

2. Press the power button once on the detector to turn the detector on.
   3 On the bottom of the display window, notice the speaker icon (Figure F 10).

3. To decrease the volume of the audible signal, press the volume button (Figure F 4); both half circles next to the speaker icon (Figure F 10) will disappear.
   To turn off the audible signal, press the volume button (Figure F 4) until the speaker icon dissapears from the display window.

4. On the top of the display window, view the Accuracy Mode icon (Figure ⑧).

5. indicates that the detector will give an "on grade" reading only when the laser beam is on grade or no more than 1/25 (1 mm) above or below it.

6. To change the Accuracy Mode to to have the detector give an "on grade" reading when the laser beam is on grade or approximately 1/8 (3 mm) above or below it, press the Accuracy Mode button (Figure F ③ once. Then figure ⑨) appears on the display window.

7. Position the detector so that the Beam Detection window (Figure F 14) is facing the laser beam produced by the rotary laser (Figure G). Move the detector up or down within the approximate area of the beam, until you have centered the detector.

8. Use the marking notches (Figure ⑦) to accurately mark the position of the laser beam.

9. To turn the detector off.

10. On the detector, press for 3 seconds.

11. If a rotary laser beam does not strike the detector's beam detection window, or if no detector buttons are pressed, within 30 minutes, the detector will shut itself off.

Controlling the Laser Remotely

You can control the laser unit remotely in either of these 3 ways:

• From up to 50^ away, you can use the remote to control the laser unit (Figure ①①). IR sensors will maintain communication between the remote and the laser unit.

• From up to 100 away, you can use the DEWALT® Tool Connect™ Application on your Bluetooth® device to connect to the laser unit (Figure J2).

• From up to 1100 away, you can control the laser unit by using the DEWALT® Tool Connect™ Application on your Bluetooth device to connect to the detector that is connected to the laser unit (Figure ①③). You must press the Detector button (figure A6) on the laser in order to connect the detector to the laser unit.

Controlling the Laser from up to 50' Away

The DW080LRS/LGS remote control allows you to operate and set up the laser from up to 50^ away. The LED light on the remote control (Figure B 1) indicates a signal is being transmitted from the DW080LRS/LGS laser unit.

You can use all the buttons on the remote's keypad to control the laser unit. To completely power OFF a DW080LRS/LGS laser unit using the Remote keypad, simultaneously press the X-Y axis button (Figure B5) and the Slope Mode button (Figure B2).

By default, the laser unit is not paired to a remote (the laser unit is in Public mode). LEDs on the laser unit and the remote will indicate that they are not paired.

Accessories

Recommended accessories for use with your tool are available for purchase at your factory-owned local service center.

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. To reduce the risk of injury, only use DEWALT® accessories that are recommended for use with this rotary laser.

If you need assistance in locating any accessory, please visit our website www.DeWALT.com

Mounting Bracket

Some laser kits include a mounting bracket, which can be used for attaching the tool to a track or to a ceiling grid to aid in acoustical ceiling installation. Follow the directions below for using the mounting bracket.

CAUTION:

Before attaching the laser level to wall track or ceiling angle, be sure that the track or angle is properly secured.

1 Place the laser on the mounting base (Figure 5) aligning the 5/8-11 screw hole on the tripod adapter (Figure 1), attached to the bottom of the laser with the hole (Figure 6) in the mounting base.
2. Turn the mounting knob (Figure ③) to secure the laser.
3 With the bracket's measuring scale (Figure ⑦) facing you, loosen the clamp locking knob (Figure ⑧) to open the clamp jaws.
4. Position the clamp jaws around the wall track or ceiling angle and tighten the clamp locking knob (Figure ⑧) to close the clamp jaws onto the track. Be sure that the clamp locking knob is securely tightened before proceeding.

CAUTION:

Always use a ceiling wire hanger or equivalent material, in addition to the clamp locking knob, to help secure the laser level while mounting it to a wall. Thread the wire through the handle of the laser level. DO NOT thread the wire through the protective metal cage. Additionally, screws may be used to fasten the bracket directly to the wall as a backup. Screw holes (Figure 9) are located at the top of the bracket.

Using the base leveling knob (Figure 2) approximate a level position from the wall.

The tool can be adjusted up and down to the desired height for working. While supporting the mounting base, loosen the locking knob on the left side of the bracket (Figure 1).

Turn the adjustment knob on the right side of the bracket (Figure 4) to move the laser level up and down to set your height. Use the measuring scale (Figure 7) to pinpoint your mark.

NOTE: It may be helpful to turn the power on and turn the rotary head so that it puts a dot on one of the laser scales. The DEWALT target card is marked at 1 - 1 / 2 (38 mm), so it may be easiest to set the offset of the laser to 1 - 1 / 2 (38 mm) below the track.

Once you have positioned the laser at the desired height, tighten the locking knob (Figure 1) to maintain this position.

Construction Grade Rod

DANGER:

NEVER attempt to use a grade rod in a storm or near overhanging electric wires. Death or serious personal injury will occur.

Some laser kits include a grade rod. The DEWALT Grade Rod is marked with measurement scales on both sides and is constructed in telescoping sections. A spring-loaded button actuates a lock to hold the grade rod at various lengths.

The front of the grade rod has the measurement scale starting at the bottom. Use this for measuring from the ground up when grading or leveling jobs.

The back of the grade rod is designed to measure the height of ceilings, joists, etc. Fully extend the top section of the grade rod until the button locks into the previous section. Extend that section either until it locks into the adjacent section or until the grade rod touches the ceiling or joist. The height is read where the last extended section exits the previous lower section (Figure R).

Target Card

Some laser kits include a Laser Target Card (Figure s) to aid in locating and marking the laser beam. The target card enhances the visibility of the laser beam as the beam crosses over the card. The card is marked with standard and metric scales. The laser beam passes through the red plastic and reflects off of the reflective tape on the reverse side. The magnet at the top of the card is designed to hold the target card to ceiling track or steel studs to determine plumb and level positions. For best performance when using the Target Card, the DEWALT logo should be facing you.

Laser Enhancement Glasses

Some laser kits include Laser En hancement Glasses (Figure T). These glasses improve the visibility of the laser beam under bright light conditions or over long distances when the laser is used for interior applications. These glasses are not required to operate the laser.

CAUTION:

These glasses are not ANSI approved safety glasses and should not be used while operating other tools. These glasses do not keep the laser beam from entering your eyes.

CAUTION:

To reduce the risk of serious injury, never stare directly into the laser beam with or without these glasses.

E Maintenance

Laser Cleaning and Storage

• Under some conditions, the glass lens may collect some dirt or debris. This will affect beam quality and operating range. The lens should be cleaned with a cotton swab moistened with water.
• The flexible rubber shield can be cleaned with a wet lint-free cloth such as a cotton cloth. USE WATER ONLY — DO NOT use cleansers or solvents. Allow the unit to air dry before storing.
• To maintain the accuracy of your work, check the calibration of the laser often. Refer to Checking the Calibration.
• Calibration checks and other maintenance repairs can be performed by DEWALT service centers. Two free calibration checks are included under the DEWALT One Year Free Service Contract.
• When the laser is not in use, store it in the kit box provided.
• Do not store your laser in the kit box if the laser is wet. Dry exterior parts with a soft, dry cloth and allow the laser to air dry.
• Do not store your laser at temperatures below 0^ (-18^) or above 105^ (41^) .

WARNING:

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

Detector Cleaning and Storage

• Dirt and grease may be removed from the exterior of the detector using a cloth or a soft, non-metallic brush.
