Safety Rules for Laser Lights
WARNING: Do not direct the laser light towards yourself or other persons
• Do not point the laser at reflective sheet material as the surface could
direct the beam back at the operator or other persons in the vicinity
• Changes to or replacement of the laser light assembly should only be
carried out by the manufacturer or an authorised agent
• Maintain the laser in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions
• CAUTION: Failure to follow safety rules may result in flash blindness and
hazardous radiation exposure
Unpacking Your Tool
• Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Fully familiarise yourself with all
its features and functions
• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If
any parts are missing or damaged, have such parts replaced before
attempting to use this tool
Before Use
Insert batteries
• Remove the cover from the battery compartment in the rear of the Rotary
Laser Level Unit (3)
• Insert the batteries, making sure to get the positive and negative
terminals the correct way round, as shown on the cover of the battery
housing
• Replace the cover

Setting up
For Levelling
• Screw the Tripod (12) into the brass fitting on the Frame (5), so that the
Rotary Head (2) is uppermost
For Plumbing
• Screw the Tripod (12) into the alternative fitting (without brass insert) on
the Frame (5), so that the Control Button (8) is uppermost
In all cases
• Use the snap-fit connectors to extend and lock the tripod legs, and the
winder handle to extend the mount for the rotary laser level as needed
Calibrating Your Laser Level
Checking Horizontal Rotational Level
1. Position your laser level approximately 10m away from the wall
ensuring that the Control Button (8) is facing the wall. Use the Levelling
Screws (6 & 7) to adjust the level so that the bubble is in the centre
of each vial
2. Turn the power on for static laser beam, and rotate the Rotary Head (2)
manually (if needed) so that the laser beam is pointing directly ahead
on the wall. Mark as point A
3. Turn power off and rotate the unit 180˚ so that the back of the unit is
now facing the original wall
4. Re-level the unit
5. Turn the power on for static laser beam, then rotate the Rotary Head
(2) so that the laser beam is pointing onto the original wall. Mark as
point B
6. Measure the vertical distance to both points A and B from the
floor. No adjustments to the laser level are necessary if the vertical
measurements have a difference of 3mm or less
Correcting Horizontal Rotational Level
1. Adjust the X Axis Levelling Screw (6) so the laser beam shows midway
between points A and B. (This will cause the bubble in the X Vial (10) to
shift from the centre)
2. Centre the X vial bubble by adjusting the X vial calibration screw
(adjacent to the vial) with Screwdriver (11) supplied
3. Re-check the accuracy of the laser by repeating the calibration
process as necessary
Checking Vertical Rotational Level
1. Position the unit on its tripod on the floor approximately 15m from the
base of the wall. The right side of the unit should face the wall. Level
the unit by adjusting the Y Axis Levelling Screw (7)
2. Mark a point A on the lower part of the wall. Turn the power on and
manually direct the laser beam to point A
3. Turn the rotary head so the laser beam moves approximately 4.5m
upwards on the wall. Mark as point B
4. Rotate the unit 180˚ so the left side of the unit faces the wall. Re-level
the unit by adjusting the Y axis levelling screw. Manually direct the
laser beam to point A
5. Turn the rotary head so that the laser beam is at the same height
as point B. Mark as point C. No adjustments are necessary if the
difference between points B and C is 2mm or less
Correcting Vertical Rotational Level
1. Adjust the Y Axis Levelling Screw (7) so laser beam is midway between
points B and C. (This will cause the bubble in the Y Vial (4) to shift
from the centre)
2. Centre the Y vial bubble by adjusting the Y vial calibration screw
(adjacent to the vial) with Screwdriver (11) supplied
3. Re-check the accuracy of the laser by repeating the calibration
process as necessary
