Bosch Power Tools GPL2 manual Applications, Use with Attachments

Applications

Plumbing a surface

1.Position tool close to the surface to be plumbed.

2.Turn on tool.

3.Measure distance A at a point relatively close to tool and make a note of the distance.

4.Measure distance B at a point further away from tool and make a note of the distance.

Note: The greater the distance between the two points of measurement, the greater

the accuracy.

5.Compare distance A with distance B. If distance A equals distance B, then the surface is plumb. If distance A does not equal distance B, then the surface is not plumb and should be corrected.

With the Multiple-Purpose Attachment 8, the tool can be attached as follows:

–Mount the Multiple-Purpose Attachment 8 to a commercially available camera tripod

via the 1/4” tripod mount 13. For fastening to a commercially available construction tripod, use the 5/8” tripod mount 14.

–The Multiple-Purpose Attachment 8 can be fastened to steel parts via the magnets 12.

–The Multiple-Purpose Attachment 8 can be fastened to drywall or wood walls with screws. For this, insert screws with a minimum length of 2 in. into the screw holes 10 of the Multiple-Purpose Attachment.

–The Multiple-Purpose Attachment 8 can also be fastened to pipes or similar beams using a commercially available strap by threading it through the opening 11 for strap attachment.

Working with the Tripod
