OPERATING TIPS
• To extend battery life per charge, turn the laser level off when it is not in use.
- Lowering the brightness of laser level increases battery life.
• To ensure the accuracy of your work, check the laser level calibration often. Refer to Checking Laser Accuracy.
- Before attempting to use the laser level, make sure it is positioned securely, on a smooth, flat stable surface that is level in both directions.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of serious injury, never stare directly into the laser beam with or without glasses.
• Always mark the center of the beam created by the laser level.
- Extreme temperature changes can cause movement or shifting of building structures, metal tripods, equipment, etc., which can affect accuracy. Check your accuracy often while working.
- If the laser level has been dropped, check to make sure your laser level is still calibrated. Refer to Checking Laser Accuracy.
Turning the Laser On (Fig. C)
Your laser level is equipped with a three-position pendulum lock/unlock and power switch 12.
• Horizontal position: Power off
• Middle position: Power On, Pendulum Locked
• Vertical position: Power On, Pendulum Unlocked
ENGLISH
The laser beams will turn on automatically if the pendulum lock/unlock and power switch is moved from the horizontal position to either the middle position or the vertical position. When the switch is placed in the middle position, the laser unit is in manual leveling mode. The laser will not self level in this mode and is used in situations where a fixed laser line is required. The laser is NOT LEVEL when the pendulum lock indicator is illuminated, and the beams will flash every 10 seconds to further indicate this.
The pendulum lock indicator 7 illuminates when the pendulum is locked and power switch is engaged (middle position).
With the laser level off, place it on a flat surface. This model has a keypad to activate the laser beams with two cycle buttons; one for laser lines 11 and one for laser dots 10. Each laser line is powered on by moving the pendulum lock switch to the UNLOCKED/ON position and pressing the required cycle button on the keypad. The laser lines can be powered one at a time or at the same time. Pressing the cycle buttons again turns the laser lines off. The pendulum locking switch disables the lasers as well as locking the pendulum, and should always be placed in the LOCKED/OFF position when the laser is not in use.
Laser Line Brightness (Fig. A, C)
The brightness of the laser lines can be adjusted by pressing the brightness control 6 button on the keypad which will cycle through high, medium, and low brightness.
Rotating the Laser Head (Fig. D)
The laser head 1 is permanently attached to the laser level base. This laser head can be manually rotated by hand by gripping the laser head and rotating, or by using the fine adjust knob 13 for smaller, more precise movements.
Remote Control Compatible (Fig. A)
Optional Accessory
Only available via service centres
WARNING: Do not operate the laser level via remote control when not in the same room or in presence of the laser level.
An optional remote control allows one person to set up and operate the laser level from a distance.
The remote control link indicator 8 flashes blue to indicate a remote control is ready to pair.
The functions on the remote keypad are identical to the functions on the laser level itself (laser lines on/off button 11, laser dots on/off button 10, brightness control button 6).
Checking Laser Accuracy
The laser levels are calibrated and sealed at the factory. It is recommended that you perform an accuracy check prior to using the laser level for the first time (in case the laser level 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. Refer to Field Calibration Check.
- Place the laser level on a smooth, flat, stable surface that is level in both directions.
• Mark the center of the laser line.
Field Calibration Check
Checking Accuracy – Horizontal Beam, Scan Direction (Fig. E)

Using the Laser (Fig. N)
Leveling the Laser
As long as the laser level is properly calibrated, the laser level is self-leveling (in pendulum unlocked mode). Each laser level 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.
If the laser level has been tilted so much that it cannot self-level ( >4^ ), the laser beam will flash. There are two flashing sequences associated with the out of level condition.
- In pendulum unlocked mode, the laser diode blinks continuously.
- In manual slope mode, the laser diode blinks three times every ten seconds (total cycle), repeating this pattern continuously.
When the beams flash THE LASER LEVEL IS NOT LEVEL (OR PLUMB) AND SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR DETERMINING OR MARKING LEVEL OR PLUMB.
Fine Adjust (Fig. A)
The fine adjustment knob 13 on the side of the laser level is for lining up the vertical beam. Place the laser level on a flat
EnGLIsh
surface and turn the knob to the right (clockwise) to rotate the laser level to the left, or to the left (anticlockwise) to move the beam to the right.
Using the Pivot Bracket (Fig. K, L)
The laser level has a magnetic pivot bracket 5 permanently attached to the unit.
WARNING: Position the laser level and/or wall mount on a stable surface. Serious personal injury or damage to the laser level may result if the laser level falls.
- The bracket has a keyhole slot 17 so it can be hung from a nail or screw on any kind of surface.
- The bracket has magnets 16 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.
Multi-Surface Mounting Plate (Fig. L, M)
- To attach the laser level to a wooden stud 18, screw in multi-surface mounting plate 20 first and mount laser level using the laser's magnets 16.
- To attach the laser level to a metal stud 19, sandwich the metal stud between the multi-surface mounting plate 20 and the laser's magnets 16. Placing the multi-surface mounting plate behind the metal stud will significantly increase the magnetic strength and holding capacity of the laser level.
MAINTENANCE
Your laser level has been designed to operate over a long period of time with minimum maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool care and regular cleaning.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn laser level off before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
- To maintain the accuracy of your work, check the laser level often to make sure it is properly calibrated. Refer to Field Calibration Check.
- Calibration checks and other maintenance repairs may be performed by DEWALT service centres.
- Do not store your laser level in the case if the laser level is wet. The laser level should be dried first with a soft, dry cloth prior to storage.
Cleaning
WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts of the laser level. 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 laser level; never immerse any part of the laser level into a liquid.
Exterior plastic parts may be cleaned with a damp cloth. Although these parts are solvent resistant, NEVER use solvents. Use a soft, dry cloth to remove moisture from the laser level before storage.

- If the laser level is exposed to extremely hot/cold temperatures, the battery meter 9 will flash. Refer to Hot and Cold Condition. If the laser level has been stored in extremely hot temperatures, allow it to cool. The laser level will not be damaged by pressing the on/off button before cooling to its proper operating temperature.
The Laser Beams Flash (Fig. N)
In manual slope mode, flashing will occur 3 times every 10 seconds regardless of tilt, to remind the user they are in manual slope mode.
ENGLISH
In unlocked mode, if the laser unit is tilted more than 4^ , the unit will flash every second, to indicate that while they are in self leveling mode, the unit is too tilted to properly self level. THE FLASHING BEAMS CREATED BY THE LASER LEVEL ARE NOT LEVEL OR PLUMB AND SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR DETERMINING OR MARKING LEVEL OR PLUMB. Try repositioning the laser level on a more level surface. If the laser level battery has a low state of charge, the beams will flash in a distinctive pattern of 3 quick flashes in 1 second, followed by constant light output for 4 seconds. This flashing pattern indicates that the battery should be recharged.
The Laser Beams Will Not Stop Moving
The laser level is a precision instrument. Therefore, if it is not positioned on a stable (and motionless) surface, the laser level will continue to try to find level. If the beam will not stop moving, try placing the laser level on a more stable surface. Also, try to make sure that the surface is relatively flat, so that the laser level is stable.
Accessories (Fig. O)
The laser level is equipped with a 1/4"-20 and 5/8"-11 threads on the bottom of the unit to accommodate current or future DEWALT accessories, such as a tripod.
Fig. O shows an example of accessories that are sold separately from these laser levels. Only use DEWALT accessories specified for use with this product. Follow the directions included with the accessory.
Laser Detector (Fig. P)
