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, 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. A, C)

Your laser level is equipped with a three-position pendulum lock/unlock and power switch 12.

Horizontal position: Power off
- Middle position: Manual Slope Mode (Power On, Pendulum Locked)
Vertical position: Self-Leveling Mode (Power On, Pendulum Unlocked)

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.

Self-Leveling Mode

When the switch is placed in the vertical position, the laser will self-level as long as the surface the laser level is placed on is less than 4^ tilt.

With the laser level off, place it on a flat surface. This model has a keypad to activate the laser beams with three ON/OFF buttons: horizontal laser line button 6, side vertical laser line button 11, and a front vertical laser line button 10. Each laser line is powered on by moving the pendulum lock/unlock and power switch to the UNLOCKED/ON position and pressing the required laser line button on the keypad. The laser lines can be powered one at a time or at the same time. Pressing the laser line buttons again turns the laser lines off. The pendulum lock/unlock and power switch disables the

ENGLISH

lasers as well as locks the pendulum, and should always be placed in the LOCKED/OFF position when the laser level is not in use.

Manual Slope Mode

When the switch is placed in the middle position, the laser unit is in manual slope mode. The laser will not self level in this mode and is used in situations where a fixed laser line is required.

NOTE: The laser is NOT LEVEL when the pendulum lock indicator 7 is illuminated, and the beams will flash 3 times every 10 seconds to further indicate this.

Laser Line Brightness (Fig. A, C, P)

The brightness of the laser lines can be adjusted by pressing the brightness control 14 button on the keypad or the brightness level 28 on the remote. (Refer to Using the DCLEAUSBRC3 Remote Control.) This will cycle through high, medium, and low brightness.

Rotating the Laser Head (Fig. D)

The laser head 2 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.

Using the Laser

The beams are level or plumb as long as the calibration has been checked (refer to Field Calibration Check) and the laser beam is not flashing (refer to Out of Tilt Range Indicator).

Out of Tilt Range Indicator (Fig. L)

The DCLE14301G laser is designed to self-level. If the laser has been tilted so much that it cannot level itself (average >4^ tilt), it will flash the laser beam. The flashing beam indicates the tilt range has been exceeded and IS NOT LEVEL (OR PLUMB) AND SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR DETERMINING OR MARKING LEVEL (OR PLUMB). Try repositioning the laser on a more level surface.

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 surface and turn the knob to the right (clockwise) to rotate the laser level to the left, or to the left (counterclockwise) to move the beam to the right.

Using the Pivot Bracket (Fig. I, J)

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 1 so it can be hung from a nail or screw on any kind of surface.
• The bracket has magnets 18 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. K)

1. To attach the laser level to a wooden stud 19, screw in multi-surface mounting plate 21 first and mount laser level using the laser's magnets 18.
2. To attach the laser level to a metal stud 20, sandwich the metal stud between the multi-surface mounting plate 21 and the laser's magnets 18. Placing the multi-surface mounting plate behind the metal stud will

English

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 a minimum of 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 centers.
• 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.
• Do not use in rain.

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.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The Laser Level Does Not Turn On (Fig. A)

• Fully charge the battery.
• 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. M)

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.

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. N)

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.

Figure N 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. O)

The laser detector 32 (sold separately) allows the laser line to be detected at much further distances than the visible range. Refer to the laser detector user manual for details on proper usage.
