To open the 360° Laser:

 

 

 

1.) Choose a relatively smooth and level surface away

 

from other work site activity to position the tripod.

 

2.) Unfasten the strap that is around the outside portion of

 

the laser and unfold the three sections of the laser

 

housing which become the legs of the tripod.

 

3.) Lock the legs in place, by pushing in on the top portion

 

of the hinge until it snaps into place as shown in figure 4.

 

CAUTION: Make sure tripod is secure and sitting

 

on a flat and stable surface.

 

 

ADJUSTING THE TRIPOD

The tripod is adjustable from its

 

 

lowest position of approximately 27

 

 

inches (686mm) shown in figure 5 to

 

 

a maximum height of 5 feet

 

 

(1524mm) shown in figure 6.

 

 

Extend any or all of the 5 sections of the tripod to reach the approximate desired height. Extend each section by gently sliding each tube out until it stops and then pull slightly harder on each section to lock.

When the approximate desired height is obtained, use the fine adjust knob shown in figure 8 to raise the laser to the final desired height. The fine adjustment knob will raise the laser up to an additional 7 inches (178mm) high.

First, loosen the lock knob as shown in figure 7.

Turn the fine adjust knob (figure 8) until the desired height is reached. Tighten the lock knob (fig. 7) to secure the tripod at the adjusted height.
