Working Advice

  • Only the centre of the laser point or laser line must be used for marking. The size of the laser point/the width of the laser line changes depending on the distance.

Working with the Laser Target Plate (see figure A)

The laser target plate (47) improves visibility of the laser beam in unfavourable conditions and at greater distances.

The reflective surface of the laser target plate (47) improves visibility of the laser line. The transparent surface enables the laser line to be seen from behind the laser target plate.

Working with the Tripod (Accessory)

A tripod offers a stable, height-adjustable support surface for measuring. Place the measuring tool with the 5/8" tripod mount (17) on the thread of the tripod (39). Tighten the measuring tool using the locking screw of the tripod.

On a tripod featuring a measuring scale on its extender, you can set the height deviation straight away.

Roughly align the tripod before switching on the measuring tool.

Working with the WM 24 wall mount (accessory) (see figure B)

The measuring tool can be secured to the wall using the wall mount with the alignment unit (42). Using the wall mount is recommended, e.g. when working above the maximum extension height of tripods, or when working on unstable surfaces without a tripod.

Fasten the wall mount (42) with the fastening screws (40) to a suitable strip of wall. Fit the wall mount as perpendicular as possible to the wall and ensure it is mounted so that it is stable.

Screw the 5/8" screw (43) of the wall mount into the tripod mount (17) of the measuring tool.

The alignment unit can be used to move the mounted measuring tool vertically in a range of approx. 23 cm. To do this, loosen the screw (41) on the alignment unit, slide the measuring tool into the required position and retighten the screw (41).

Working with the Laser Receiver (accessory)

Use the laser receiver (37) to improve detection of the laser lines in adverse lighting conditions (bright environment, direct sunlight) and over greater distances.

For rotary lasers with multiple operating modes, select the horizontal or vertical operation with the highest rotational speed.

Before working with the laser receiver, read and observe the laser receiver operating instructions.

Working with the measuring rod (accessory) (see figure C)

To check levels or apply slopes, it is recommended to use the measuring rod (38) together with the laser receiver.

A relative measuring scale is incorporated at the top of the measuring rod (38). You can preselect its zero at the bottom on the extender. This enables you to read deviations from the target height straight away.

Laser Goggles (Accessory)

The laser goggles filter out ambient light. This makes the light of the laser appear brighter to the eye.

  • Do not use the laser goggles (accessory) as protective goggles. The laser goggles make the laser beam easier to see; they do not protect you against laser radiation.
  • Do not use the laser goggles (accessory) as sunglasses or while driving. The laser goggles do not provide full UV protection and impair your ability to see colours.
