USING THE DRYWALL ADAPTOR
The drywall adaptor has been designed to simplify the use
in the following applications:
• Drywall track
The downward plumb beam will be on the outside edge
of the track or stud. The top track or top stud can then
be positioned in the same manner to assure it is plumb with the floor track or stud.
• Floor to ceiling plumbing
Plumb beam is visible through the adaptor. When rotating the upper part of the mount, the
plumb beam stays in place.
CHECKING CALIBRATION
We recommend that you check the instrument's accuracy before initial use; then periodical-
ly to ensure proper reference.
Checking the
horizontal level
beams:
SETUP
Metal studs or other metal surfaces: Use the magnet on the udrywall adaptor.
Drywall track: The drywall adaptor is designed to extend over a drywall track or floor
stud. This allows for fast plumb set-up when framing out a wall.
Tripod with 1/4": Use the threaded hole located on the bottom of the laser to attach it to
a camera tripod.
Wall: Use the keyhole slot located on the back of the drywall adaptor to attach to a wall
using a drywall screw (at least 5 cm / 2" long).
Floor: Place the laser directly on the floor; or, to see the "down" plumb beam spot, put the
laser on the drywall adaptor.

USING THE DRYWALL ADAPTOR
1. Set up the PL3 about 15 cm / 6" away from a wall (Surface 1) and about 10 m / 30 ft.
from another wall (Surface 2).
2. Turn on the unit and be sure it is self-leveling (beam is not blinking).
3. Carefully mark the center of the laser dot on Surface 1 (this is A1).
4. Rotate the laser 180° and mark the dot on Surface 2 (this is B1).
5. Move the laser 15 cm / 6" away from Surface 2 and mark the dot there (this is B2) (See
right illustration)
6. Rotate the laser 180° and mark the dot on Surface 1 (this is A2).
7. Measure the distance between A1 and A2, and also between B1 and B2.
If the distances are the same, the laser is in calibration. If the difference between
the two sets of marks is greater than 4 mm / 0.16", the laser is out of calibration.

CARE AND HANDLING

The PL3 is a precision instrument that must be handled with care. Avoid shock and vibration.
Keep it dry and clean; dry off before storage.
Switch all lasers off and secure the pendulum.
Avoid storing in excessively hot or cold areas.
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean it. Wipe it with
a soft cloth, dampened in a mild soap-and-water solution.
Keep the laser aperture windows clean by periodically wiping them with a cotton swab
dipped in rubbing alcohol.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The laser does not turn on
• Make sure batteries are installed according to the label in the battery compartment.
• Make sure batteries are in proper working condition. If in doubt, use new batteries.
The laser beams are blinking
The PL3 has a warning to advise the unit is out of level. Move the PL3 to a more level position.
