If the automatic levelling function is not
possible, e.g. because the surface on which the tool stands deviates by more than 4° from the horizontal plane, the laser beams flash. In this case, bring the tool to the level position and wait for the
In case of ground vibrations or position changes during operation, the tool is automatically levelled in again. To avoid errors, check the position of the horizontal and vertical laser line with regard to the reference points upon
Lock Mode - Working without Automatic Levelling (see figure D)
For work without automatic levelling, push the On/Off switch 7 to the “ on” position. When the automatic levelling is switched off, the laser line flash continuously.
When the automatic levelling is switched off, the tool can be held by hand or placed on an inclined surface.
Working Advice
•Always use the center of the laser line for marking. The width of the laser line changes with the distance.
Leveling Accuracy
Influences on Accuracy
The ambient temperature has the greatest influence. Especially temperature differences occurring from the ground upward can divert the laser beam.
Because the largest difference in
temperature layers is close to the ground, the tool should always be mounted on a tripod when measuring distances exceeding 65 ft. If possible, also set up the tool in the centre of the work area.
Apart from exterior influences, device specific influences (such as heavy impact or falling down) can lead to deviations. Therefore, check the accuracy of the tool each time before starting your work.
First, check both the height as well as the leveling accuracy of the horizontal laser line, then the leveling accuracy of the vertical laser line.
Should the tool exceed the maximum deviation during one of the tests, please have it repaired by a Bosch
Checking the Height Accuracy of the Horizontal Line
For this check, a free measuring distance of approximately 26 feet on a firm surface between two walls A and B is required.
–Mount the tool onto a tripod or place it on a firm and level surface close to wall A. Switch on the tool. Select
AB
26 ft
–Direct the laser against the close wall A and allow the tool to level in. Mark the center of the point where the laser lines cross each other on the wall (point I).
AB 180˚
–Turn the tool by 180°, allow it to level in and mark the cross point of the laser lines on the opposite wall B (point II).
