Read and understand all instruc- tions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

CAUTION:

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

CAUTION:

The use of an optical instrument with this product will increase eye hazard.

The laser guide radiation used in this laser level is Class IIIa with < 5mW and 650 nm wavelengths. These lasers do not normally present an optical hazard although staring at the beam may cause flash blindness.

Avoid direct eye exposure when using the laser and do not project the laser beam directly into the eyes of others. Serious eye injury could result.

Do not remove or deface any product labels. Removing product labels increases the risk of exposure to laser radiation.

	could result.
 Do not operate the laser level around children
	or allow children to operate the tool. Serious
	eye injury could result.
 Always turn the laser level off when not in use.
	Leaving the tool on increases the risk of someone
	inadvertently staring into the laser beam.
 Do not operate the laser level in combustible
	areas such as in the presence of flammable
	liquids, gasses, or dust.
	Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a
	surface without reflective properties. Shiny
	reflective materials are not suitable for laser use.
 Handle the laser level with care. Treat it as you
	would any other optical device such as a camera
	or binoculars.
	Avoid exposing the laser level to shock,
	continuous vibration or extreme hot or cold
	temperatures. Damage to the tool and/or serious
	injury to the user could result.
 Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently
	and use them to instruct others who may use this
	laser level. If you loan someone this laser level,
	loan them these instructions also.

See Figure 3.

The on/off switch is located on the side of the laser level. Pushing the switch down will turn the laser level on and activate the vacuum pump; pushing the switch up will turn the unit OFF. Always wait for at least 5 seconds between stopping and restarting the laser level.

using the airgrip vacuum

See Figures 3 - 4.

The laser level’s vacuum grip technology allows attach- ment to most smooth surfaces.

nPlace the laser level on the surface you want it secured to and push in slightly to seal.

nContinue to hold the laser level against the surface while turning on the laser.

nRelease the laser level slowly when you hear a change in motor sound.

NOTE:  To release the vacuum seal, turn the laser level’s power off. For fast release, press the protrusion on the side of the unit opposite the power switch. Pulling the laser level off the wall without releasing the vacuum could damage the tool.

The laser will automatically shut off 15 minutes prior to battery failure, but the motor will remain on. Press the on/off switch to power down the unit and replace the batteries.

The safe use of this product requires an understanding	lens
of the information on the tool and in this operator’s
manual as well as a knowledge of the project you
are attempting. Before use of this product, familiarize
yourself with all operating features and safety rules.

See Figure 4.

nPlace the laser level in the area where you want the laser line projected.

nRotate the unit so that the laser lens points in the direction in which you want the line projected.

nWhen a vertical line or level horizontal line is desired, level the tool by centering the bubble inside the appropriate vial located on top of the laser head.

nTurn on the laser.

using the mounting aid

See Figure 4.

Using the mounting aid, you can use the laser level’s AIRgrip feature to position the unit on many non-smooth surfaces, including brick, painted cinderblock, textured wallpaper, and stucco walls.

NOTE:  The AIRgrip feature cannot be used with stucco or unpainted cinderblock.

nPosition the mounting aid on the surface where you want to use the laser level. Secure with pins or tape (not provided).

nPlace the laser level against the mounting aid and push in slightly to engage the seal.

nContinue to hold the laser level against the surface while turning the unit ON and unit is adhered to surface.

nRelease the laser level slowly when you hear a change in motor sound.

CAUTION:

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

airgrip™ vacuum Technology

Your laser level uses a vacuum base that can adhere to smooth surfaces. Using the vacuum seal prevents wall

WARNING:

To avoid serious personal injury, always remove the batteries from the tool when cleaning or perform- ing any maintenance.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

nBefore initial use, wipe Airgrip vacuum base with a damp cloth to remove any residue.

nStore the laser level indoors.

nKeep the laser level free of dust and liquids. Use a damp cloth and mild soap to clean the outside casing. Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use.

nTo clean the laser lens, if needed, use ONLY a soft cloth or cotton swab moistened with glass cleaner.

nCheck the batteries regularly to avoid deterioration. Remove the batteries from the laser level if it is not going to be used for an extended time.

nDo not disassemble the laser level. This could cause exposure to hazardous laser radiation.

nDo not attempt to change any part of the laser lens.
