We want to get you up and running as quickly as possible - but this quick start guide is not a replacement for reading and understanding your
operator’s manual! For complete safety & operating instructions, refer to the operator’s manual included with your rotary laser, or scan the QR code.
ROTARY LASER APPLICATIONS
FENCING, POST SETTING & EXCAVATION
Set common fence post heights, determine excavation
depth, layout concrete formwork and complete square
alignment work using the laser’s 90° split beam.
DROP CEILINGS
Rotary lasers are the perfect tool for drop ceilings.
Mount a rotary just below your ceiling, and use a
magnetic laser target or detector to find the beam.
USING THE LASER DETECTOR
40-6700 40-6705
Laser detectors locate the laser beam when you otherwise can’t see it
with your naked eye, such as when working outdoors, in high ambient
light, and over long distances.
Models 40-6516, 99-002K, 99-006K, and 99-026K include Johnson’s
40-6700 detector, and model 40-6517 includes Johnson’s 40-6705
detector. All models are compatible with all Johnson red beam rotary
laser detectors, including the machine-mounted detector Model
40-6791 that mounts to skid steers, excavators and other equipment.
HOW TO USE THE LASER DETECTOR
1. Specifics and features vary slightly with each model - consult your
manual for the specifics of your detector.
2. Press
(40-6700) or (40-6705) to power the detector on.
3. Adjust the volume by pressing
(40-6700 only).
4. Adjust the accuracy by pressing
(40-6700 only). Use fine
accuracy for critical work (+/-0.012”) and coarse accuracy
(+/-0.030”) for rough work or quickly locating the grade position.
NOTE: Fine accuracy will show the symbol
on the LCD.
5. Pass the detecting window through the beam. The detector will
beep (if volume is on),
and the LCD arrow or
LEDs will indicate the
direction you need to
move the detector to
locate the beam.
6. When the detector is
on grade, the beep will
become a solid tone,
and the LCD arrow will
become a solid line in the
center of the LCD (40-
6700), or the green LED
will illuminate (40-6705)
to indicate you are on
grade.
Your new rotary laser is a versatile tool. You will constantly find new
uses around your jobsite where your rotary will help you complete
your work faster, safer and smarter. Complete your leveling tasks with
ease, and complete layout work in record time with your new laser.
PLUMB & ALIGN WALLS
Use the rotary in vertical mode with the 90° split beam
to lay out wall locations at perfect right angles. When
erecting the walls, use the laser to ensure the walls are
plumb and for setting drywall track.
GRADING
The conventional use for rotary lasers, you can easily
level or slope large areas of land for proper drainage.
Pair with a grade rod and a detector, or use a machine
mounted detector like Johnson’s 40-6791, to simplify
large grading jobs.
CABINETS, WAINSCOTING & FINISH WORK
Use the laser to lay out kitchen cabinets (both
horizontal and vertical alignment), shelving,
wainscoting, chair rails and more. You can also install tile
on walls and floors, and transfer layout lines from floor
to ceiling.
