Frequently Asked Questions - Quigo 3 BOSCH

How to turn on the Bosch Quigo 3 laser level?

To turn on the device, push the On/Off switch (4) upward. Both laser lines light up. To turn off, push the switch downward. Never direct the beam at people or animals.

What to do if the laser lines flash quickly?

Rapid flashing indicates low batteries. Replace the batteries (2x AAA) observing polarity. Use alkaline batteries of the same brand.

How to use the self-leveling function?

Place the device on a stable horizontal surface or mount it on a tripod. After switching on, the device self-levels within a range of ±4°. The lines stop flashing once leveling is complete. If the device is tilted more than 4°, the lines flash slowly and leveling is not active.

What accessories are included with the Quigo 3?

The mounting base (16), adapter plate (3), two AAA batteries, and the user manual. The tripod and laser glasses are optional.

How to attach the device to a wall using the mounting base?

Loosen the clamping screw (15) on the base, place it on an object with a thickness of 10-60 mm (board, pipe), then retighten. Mount the device on the 1/4" screw (13) of the base. Tighten moderately. Adjust the height with the screw (14).

What is the accuracy of the laser level?

The leveling accuracy is ±0.8 mm/m. This means that at 1 meter, the maximum deviation is 0.8 mm. The maximum range is 10 meters.

How to maintain the laser level?

Clean the device with a soft damp cloth. Do not use solvents. Regularly clean the laser exit area to avoid dust. Never immerse the device in water.

Can I use the device outdoors?

The device is designed for indoor use. Outdoors, laser visibility may be reduced, especially in bright sunlight. The stated range of 10 m may be less in unfavorable conditions.

What does laser class 2 mean?

Laser class 2 means the beam emits visible light (635 nm) with a power of less than 1 mW. It is not dangerous to the skin, but never look directly into the beam. Avoid directing the laser at eyes.

How to use the adapter plate?

The adapter plate (3) helps align the laser with a reference point. It can be attached above, below, or to the back of the device. Use the fine adjustment screw (2) to adjust the position of the laser line.

Operation

Initial Operation

▶ Protect the measuring tool against moisture and direct sunlight. ▶ Do not subject the measuring tool to extreme temperatures or variations in temperature. For example, do not leave it in vehicles for a long time. In case of large variations in temperature, allow the measuring tool to adjust to the ambient temperature before putting it into operation. In case of extreme temperatures or variations in temperature, the accuracy of the measuring tool can be impaired. ▶ Avoid heavy impact to or falling down of the measuring tool. Damage to the measuring tool can impair its accuracy. After heavy impact or shock, compare the laser line with a known horizontal or vertical reference line. ▶ Switch the measuring tool off during transport. When switching off, the levelling unit, which can be damaged in case of intense movement, is locked.

Switching On and Off

To switch on the measuring tool, push the On/Off switch 4 upward. Immediately after switching on, the measuring tool sends two laser beams out of the exit opening 5.

▶ Do not point the laser beam at persons or animals and do not look into the laser beam yourself, not even from a large distance.

To switch off the measuring tool, push the On/Off switch 4 downward over the laser beam exit opening 5. When switching off, the levelling unit is locked.

▶ Do not leave the switched-on measuring tool unattended and switch the measuring tool off after use. Other persons could be blinded by the laser beam.

To save energy, only switch the measuring tool on when you are using it.

Automatic Levelling

To work with automatic levelling, position the measuring tool on a level and firm support, attach it to the holder 16 or to the tripod 11.

After switching on, the automatic levelling function automatically compensates irregularities within the self-levelling range of ±4°. The levelling is finished as soon as the laser lines do not flash anymore.

If automatic levelling is not possible, e.g. because the underside of the measuring tool deviates by more than 4° from the horizontal plane or the measuring tool is held freely in the hand, the laser lines will continuously flash slowly and the measuring tool will work without automatic levelling. The laser lines remain switched on, but the two crossed lines will no longer necessarily be at a right angle to each other. To make sure that the two laser lines are still at a right angle to one another, position the measuring tool orthogonal to the wall.

To work with automatic levelling again, position the measuring tool so that the underside is aligned horizontally and wait for the self-levelling to be performed. As soon as the measuring tool is within the self-levelling range of ±4° and is levelled in, the laser lines will light up continuously again.

In case of ground vibrations or position changes during operation, the measuring tool is automatically levelled again. Upon re-levelling, check the position of the horizontal or vertical laser line with regard to the reference points on the wall to avoid errors.

Working Advice

Always use the centre of the laser line for marking. The width of the laser line changes with the distance.

Attaching with the Holder (see figure A)

With the holder 16, you can fasten the measuring tool to different objects ranging in thickness between 10 and 60 mm, such as vertical or horizontal boards or pipes.

Loosen the fastening screw 15 of the holder, mount the holder to the desired location and tighten the fastening screw again.

Place the measuring tool via the tripod mount 6 onto the 1/4" male thread 13 of the holder and screw it on applying moderate force. Do not overtighten the measuring tool, otherwise it can become damaged.

Adjust the holder roughly before switching on the measuring tool. For this, loosen the locking screw 14 for the holder and move the measuring tool until horizontally positioned at the desired height. Retighten the locking screw.

You can also mount the measuring tool on the holder using the adapter plate 3.

Working with the Tripod (Accessory)

A tripod offers a stable, height-adjustable measuring support. Place the measuring tool via the tripod mount 6 onto the 1/4" male thread of the tripod and screw the locking screw of the tripod tight.

Adjust the tripod roughly before switching on the measuring tool.

You can also mount the measuring tool on the tripod using the adapter plate 3.

Working with the Adapter Plate (see figure B-C)

The adapter plate 3 makes it easier to precisely align the measuring tool with a reference point and enables you to quickly attach and detach the measuring tool.

The adapter plate 3 can be mounted on the holder 16 or tripod 11.

- Holder: Place the adapter plate with the 1/4" mount 1 on the screw 13 of the holder and tighten it to the holder applying moderate force.

Note: Loosen the locking screw 14 of the holder if you want to change the position of the measuring tool. If the adapter plate is turned without loosening the locking screw, the adapter plate can become loose and the measuring tool can fall off.

- Tripod: Tighten the locking screw of the tripod in the 1/4" mount 1 of the adapter plate.

Press the measuring tool into the adapter plate 3 so that the locks of the adapter plate engage in the holes on two sides of the measuring tool. The adapter plate can be fastened to the bottom, back and top side of the measuring tool. Check the tight seating of the measuring tool.

When the adapter plate is mounted on the back, the height of the measuring tool can be aligned. When it is mounted on the top or bottom, the measuring tool can be aligned sideways. Turn the fine adjustment screw 2 of the adapter plate to align the laser line with a reference point.

Laser Viewing Glasses (Accessory)

The laser viewing glasses filter out the ambient light. This makes the red light of the laser appear brighter for the eyes.

▶ Do not use the laser viewing glasses as safety goggles. The laser viewing glasses are used for improved visualisation of the laser beam, but they do not protect against laser radiation. ▶ Do not use the laser viewing glasses as sun glasses or in traffic. The laser viewing glasses do not afford complete UV protection and reduce colour perception.
