Operation

Initial Operation

•Protect the tool against moisture and direct sun irradiation.

•Do not subject the tool to extreme temperatures or variations in temperature.

As an example, do not leave it in vehicles for longer periods. In case of large variations in temperature, allow the tool to adjust to the ambient temperature before putting it into operation. In case of extreme temperatures or variations in temperature, the accuracy of the tool can be impaired.

•Avoid heavy impact or and prevent the tool from falling. After heavy exterior impact on the tool, an accuracy check should always be carried out before continuing to work (see

“Leveling Accuracy”).

•Switch the tool off during transport. Switch off the leveling unit, which can be damaged in the case of intense movement.

Turning on the Tool

To switch on the tool, push the On/Off switch 1 once. Immediately after switching on, the tool sends one laser beam out of the exit opening 3.

•Do not point the laser beam at persons or animals and do not look into the laser beam yourself, not even from a large distance.

To switch off the tool, push the On/Off switch 1 four more times. When switching off, the levelling unit is locked.

•Do not leave the switched on tool unattended and switch the tool off after use. Other persons could be blinded by the laser beam.

Automatic Leveling

Working with Automatic Leveling

Position the tool on a level and firm surface, hold it by the b against a vertical surface or attach it to a tripod 8.

After switching on, the leveling function automatically compensates irregularities within the self-leveling range of ±4°. The leveling is finished as soon as the laser beams do not move any more. The indicator 2 lights up green.

If the automatic leveling function is not possible, e. g. because the surface on which the tool stands deviates by more than 4° from the horizontal plane, the indicator 2 lights up red and the lasers automatically begins to flash. In this case, bring the tool to the level position, and wait for the self leveling to take place. As soon as the tool is within the self-leveling range of ±4° again, the indicator 2 lights up green and the laser beams are switched on.
