6.Turn the laser on if not on already; adjust rotation speed and con- trols as needed.
7.To project a plumb laser reference plane, adjust the rotation speed for preferred visibility. Remember: Slow Speed = Bright Beam; Fast Speed = Solid Beam.
Manual Head Rotation Button | ||
The laser has been designed with a | A | |
protective cap over the rotary head to pre- | ||
| ||
vent accidental damage from work site activ- |
| |
ities. You can still access the rotary head |
| |
and manually direct the beam to establish or |
| |
transfer a mark. To manually rotate the laser |
| |
beam follow the instructions below. |

If the laser is turned OFF, rotate the ON/OFF knob clockwise a 1/4 turn or less. Ensure that the laser diodes are powered on and that the rotary head is not spinning. If the laser is ON and spinning, rotate the ON/OFF knob counterclockwise until rotation of the head stops.
Depress the spring loaded Manual Head Rotation Button (A) on the top of the protective cap. The button will make contact with the rotary laser head. While maintaining pressure on the Manual Head Rotation Button, you can now turn the button and direct the laser beams in the direction of your mark.
Since the laser has been designed with dual, side by side laser diodes, you may see 2 laser dots on the object you are projecting the beam onto. Marks can be made using either laser dot. Mark the cen- ter of the dot.
DO NOT attempt to use the Manual Head Rotation Button while the rotary head is spinning.
While using the Manual Head Rotation Button, it is recommended that you set the Bump Sensor to Setting 1. See Bump Sensor operation. NOTE: After storing this product in extremely cold conditions, the laser head may not immediately rotate when turned on. The rotary head may be started by depressing and turning the Manual Rotation Button counterclockwise.
Laser Enhancement Glasses
The DEWALT Laser Kit includes a pair of Laser
Enhancement Glasses. These red lens glass- es improve the visibility of the laser beam under bright light conditions or over long dis-
tances. These glasses are not required to operate the laser but are helpful. Working best indoors, the lens filters out ambient light and intensifies the red laser dot or line to your eyes.
CAUTION: These glasses are not ANSI approved safety glasses and should not be worn while operating other tools. These glasses do not keep the laser beam from entering your eyes.
DANGER: NEVER STARE DIRECTLY INTO THE LASER BEAM, WITH OR WITHOUT THESE GLASSES.
Target Card
The DEWALT Rotary Laser Kit includes a Laser Target Card to aid in locating and marking the laser beam. The target card enhances the visibility of the laser beam as the beam crosses over the card. The card is marked with inch and metric scales. The laser beam passes through the red plastic and reflects off of the reflective tape on the reverse side. The magnets at the top hold the target card to ceil- ing track or steel studs to determine plumb and level positions.
Digital Laser Detector
The DEWALT Digital Laser Detector enables you to locate a laser beam emitted by a Rotary Laser in bright light conditions or over long distances. The detector can be used in both indoor and outdoor situ- ations where it is difficult to see the laser beam. The detector is not for use with
The detector gives both visual and audio signals as to the location of the laser beam as the beam crosses over the detector. The DEWALT Digital Laser Detector is compatible with most rotary lasers on the
