Tools For The Professional
TM
Use only genuine RIDGID accessories for best
results.
IMPORTANT! Before storing or transporting the self-
levelling laser, always lock the pendulum to avoid
permanent damage to the pendulum mechanism.
Preparation for use
Check the RIDGID self-levelling laser for any
damage.
The set contains (Fig. 1):
For Gyro II:
• 1 RIDGID self-levelling laser
• 3 size AA-batteries
• 1 pair of laser glasses
• 1 level holder
• 1 protective carrying bag
Raise the battery cover and position the 3 AA (Gyro II)
and AAA (GyroLight) batteries as shown see Fig. 2.
For Gyro Light:
• 1 RIDGID self-levelling laser
• 1 carrying bag
Using the self-levelling laser without tripod.
Place the level on a flat surface to within +/- 5°.
Unlock the pendulum mechanism, by rotating the base
of the laser by selecting the "unlock" position, indicated
on the base of the Gyro laser. (Fig. 3)
Wait for the "auto-check" to finish the levelling action
(flashing stops), and push the appropriate H or V
button to switch on the laser. (Fig. 4)
H: Horizontal projection
V: Vertical projection
The pendulum action on the RIDGID self-levelling
laser will level itself automatically within 5 seconds;
during the levelling action the projection will flash
continuously until the laser has levelled itself.
No other action is needed to set the RIDGID self-
levelling laser correctly.
The RIDGID Gyro II self-levelling laser comes
complete with a level holder, this level holder is
specially designed to position the self-levelling laser
onto a tripod or attach it to a wall. (Fig. 5).

Professional surveyors tripods are available as
accessories.
All RIDGID tripods have been designed specifically
for the RIDGID laser programme and we recommend
using only RIDGID tripods for the best results.
Using the self-levelling laser in combination with a
RIDGID tripod Screw the level holder to a RIDGID
tripod (cat n° 27731 & 74206) (Fig. 6) using the 5/8"
thread connection and place the RIDGID self-levelling
laser into the level holder.
Raise the tripod by opening the 3 clamps on the
feet, and pull out the legs until the required height is
reached (Fig. 7). Close the clamps whilst making sure
that the bulls-eye vial in the tripod is centred.
Place the RIDGID self-levelling laser into the level
holder and operate in the same way as without tripod.
Note: the Gyro Light needs adaptor 89126 to allow
mounting on the RIDGID tripods.
