Working Advice

Always use the centre of the laser point for
marking. The size of the laser point changes
with the distance.
Attaching with the Holder
To fasten the measuring tool on the holder 8,
screw the locking screw 9 of the holder into the
1/4" tripod mount 6 on the measuring tool and
tighten. To rotate the measuring tool on the
holder, slightly loosen the screw 9.
– Rotate the measuring tool on the holder 8
sideward or toward the rear to make the
bottom plumb beam visible.
– Rotate the measuring tool on the holder 8
to project heights with the horizontal laser
beam.
With the holder 8, the measuring tool can be
attached as follows:
– Mount the holder 8 to the tripod 18 or a com-
mercially available camera tripod via the 1/4"
tripod mount 13. For fastening to a commer-
cially available construction tripod, use the
5/8" tripod mount 14.
– The holder 8 can be fastened to steel parts
via the magnets 12.
– The holder 8 can be fastened to drywalls or
wood walls with screws. For this, insert
screws with a minimum length of 50 mm into
the screw holes 10 of the holder.
– The holder 8 can also be fastened to pipes or
similar beams using a commercially available
strap by threading it through the opening 11
for strap attachment.
Working with the Tripod (Accessory)
A tripod 18 offers a stable, height-adjustable
measuring support. Place the measuring tool via
the tripod mount 6 onto the 1/4" male thread of
the tripod and screw the locking screw of the
tripod tight.

Working with the Measuring Plate (Accessory)
With the measuring plate 15, it is possible to
project the laser mark onto the floor or the laser
height onto a wall.
With the zero field and the scale, the offset or
drop to the required height can be measured
and projected at another location. This elimi-
nates the necessity of precisely adjusting the
measuring tool to the height to be projected.
The measuring plate 15 has a reflective coating
that enhances the visibility of the laser beam at
greater distances or in intense sunlight. The
brightness intensification can be seen only
when viewing, parallel to the laser beam, onto
the measuring plate.
Laser Viewing Glasses (Accessory)
The laser viewing glasses filter out the ambient
light. This makes the red light of the laser appear
brighter for the eyes.
Do not use the laser viewing glasses as
safety goggles. The laser viewing glasses are
used for improved visualisation of the laser
beam, but they do not protect against laser
radiation.
Do not use the laser viewing glasses as sun
glasses or in traffic. The laser viewing glass-
es do not afford complete UV protection and
reduce colour perception.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning

Store and transport the measuring tool only in
the supplied protective case.
Keep the measuring tool clean at all times.
Do not immerse the measuring tool into water
or other fluids.
Wipe off debris using a moist and soft cloth.
Do not use any cleaning agents or solvents.
Regularly clean the surfaces at the exit opening
of the laser in particular, and pay attention to
any fluff of fibres.
