Starting Operation of the rotary laser

  • Keep the work area free from obstacles that could reflect or obstruct the laser beam. For example, cover any reflective or shiny surfaces. Do not measure through panes of glass or similar materials. The measurements may be distorted by a reflected or obstructed laser beam.

Setting up the measuring tool

Horizontal position

Vertical position

Position the measuring tool on a stable surface in the horizontal or vertical position, mount it on the tripod (39) or on the wall mount (42) with the alignment unit.

Due to its high levelling accuracy, the measuring tool is very sensitive to knocks and vibrations and changes in position. Take care, therefore, that the measuring tool is stable to avoid interruptions to the operation caused by relevelling.

Switching On and Off

Note: After the first time the tool is started up and before beginning work, you should always perform an accuracy check see Accuracy Check of the Measuring Tool.

To switch on the measuring tool, press the on/off button (3). All indicators will quickly flash red (3×/s). The measuring tool emits the variable laser beam (8) and the upwards plumb point (11) from the outlet apertures (10).

  • Do not direct the laser beam at persons or animals and do not stare into the laser beam yourself (even from a distance).

The measuring tool immediately starts automatic levelling. During levelling, the X-axis (7) and Y-axis (6) status indicators flash green and the laser flashes in point operation.

The measuring tool is levelled as soon as the X-axis (7) and Y‑axis (6) status displays light up green continuously and the laser lights up continuously. After levelling is completed, the measuring tool automatically starts in rotational operation.

  • Never leave the measuring tool unattended when switched on, and ensure the measuring tool is switched off after use. Others may be blinded by the laser beam.

To switch off the measuring tool, press the on/off button (3) until all indicators turn off.

Sleep Mode (Standby)

During breaks from work, you can set the measuring tool to sleep mode using the remote control (21). This saves all the settings and the shock-warning function remains activated.

To switch on sleep mode, press the sleep mode button (29) on the remote control. All indicators on the measuring tool will flash red slowly (1×/s).

To switch off sleep mode, press the sleep mode button (29) again. You can also end sleep mode by briefly pressing the on/off button (3) on the measuring tool.
