screwing the threaded knob (A) on the

 

 

tripod into the 5/8" x 11 threads on the

 

 

bottom and rear of the laser.

 

NOTE: Be sure the tripod you are working with has a 5/8" x 11 threaded screw.

3.Follow the instructions for leveling or plumbing the laser.

4.Turn the laser on; adjust rotation speed and controls as needed.

Wall Mount

The DW071 Rotary Laser has been designed to work with an accessory Wall Mount for attaching the tool to wall track to aid in acoustical ceiling installa- tion and other specialty leveling pro- jects. Follow the instructions below for using the Wall Mount.

CAUTION: Before attaching the laser level to wall track ensure that

the track is properly secured to the wall.

close the clamp jaws shut on the track.

 

 

 

Ensure that the Wall Mount Clamp Locking

 

 

 

Knob is securely locked before proceeding.

 

 

 

CAUTION: Always use a ceiling wire hanger or equivalent material, in addition to the wall mount clamp, to help secure the laser level while mounting it to a wall. Thread the wire through the handle/roll cage. Additionally, screws or nails can be used to fasten the tool directly to the wall as a back up. Screw/Nail holes (B) are located in the Base Plate next to the Base Plate Measuring Scales.

3.The tool can be adjusted up and down to the desired offset height for working. To change the height, loosen the Rack 'N Pinion Locking Knob (D) located on the left of the wall mount. TIP: You may need to support the weight of the tool while the Rack 'N Pinion Locking Knob is loosened. Turn the Rack 'N Pinion Adjustment Knob (C) located to the right of the wall mount to move the laser level up and down to set your height. Use the wall mount Measuring Scale to pinpoint your mark. TIP: It may be helpful to turn the power ON and spin the rotary head to set your height. Once you have positioned the laser at your desired offset height, tighten the Rack 'N Pinion Locking Knob to maintain your mark.

4.Follow the instructions for leveling the laser. TIP: Remember the front leveling knob controls the movement of the bubble in the front vial, the side leveling knob controls the movement of the bub- ble in the side vial.

5.Turn the laser on if not on already; adjust rotation speed and con- trols as needed.
