Overview

The Johnson Rotary Laser Level Kit, Model No. 40-0917, is a versatile instrument designed for plotting distant points or establishing a continuous horizontal line. This device is suitable for both indoor and outdoor measuring applications and can be used with or without its included tripod.

Function Description:

The rotary laser level utilizes a laser beam to project a visible line or point. It incorporates a built-in rotary unit with a speed control knob, allowing the user to adjust the rotation speed to create a single laser point, an intermittent line, or a continuous line. The level features three (3) leveling vials and three (3) leveling screws for precise adjustment. Its adjusting base is designed for both tripod- and wall-mounting, offering flexibility in setup. The included lightweight, yet sturdy tripod allows the laser beam to be set to the required height for various tasks such as installing drop ceilings and mouldings.

Important Technical Specifications:

  • Class of laser: IIIa (class 3 protection)
  • Maximum power output: <5mW @ 640-660nm
  • Measuring range: 30m – 100m (100 ft. – 330 ft.) of visible light, depending on the illumination of the work area.
  • Rotation speed: 0 – 600 rpm
  • Wavelength: 650nm ± 10nm
  • Measuring accuracy: ± 0.3mm/m (1/8" at 30 ft.)
  • Power supply: 4 x AA batteries

Usage Features:

The kit includes the rotary level, a built-in adjusting base and brackets, a telescoping tripod, tinted goggles, and 4 x AA batteries. To operate, users first install four (4) AA batteries by unscrewing the cover on the back top of the unit. The device is turned on by rotating the on/off switch, which also controls the rotation speed. For accurate measurements, the tripod should be opened and positioned firmly on a level surface. For uneven surfaces or inclines, the telescoping legs of the tripod can be adjusted. The unit is then screwed tightly onto the tripod. Leveling is achieved by using the three (3) adjusting screws and ensuring the bubble in each of the three (3) built-in vials is perfectly centered. The speed control knob allows the user to select between a single laser point, an intermittent line, or a continuous line, depending on the application.

Maintenance Features:

The laser level does not contain any serviceable parts, and opening the housing will void the warranty. If the laser level has not been used for longer than three months, it is recommended to remove the batteries to prevent damage from leakage. Used or discharged batteries are considered hazardous waste and must be disposed of properly.

Safety Instructions and Warnings:

  • AVOID EXPOSURE: Laser radiation is emitted from the aperture. Never look directly into the laser beam with naked eyes, and do not aim the light beam directly into eyes. This can cause serious eye injury.
  • Do not direct the laser beam on persons or reflective surfaces.
  • A laser is not a toy and must be stored out of children's reach.
  • Any manipulation that results in increased performance of the laser is strictly prohibited. Claims for damages resulting from non-compliance with safety instructions will be refused.
  • Do not set up the laser tool at eye level or operate it on or near a reflective surface, as the laser beam could be projected into eyes.
  • Do not place the laser tool in a manner that may cause someone to unintentionally look into the laser beam.
  • Do not operate the laser tool in explosive environments or in the presence of gases or flammable liquids.
  • Keep the laser tool out of reach of children and other untrained persons.
  • Do not attempt to view the laser beam through optical tools such as telescopes.
  • Always turn the laser tool off when not in use or left unattended.
  • Remove batteries when storing the tool for an extended period to avoid damage from deterioration.
  • The tinted goggles included are designed to enhance the visibility of the laser beam but DO NOT offer protection to the eyes from direct exposure to the laser beam.
  • Read all instructions prior to operating this laser tool and DO NOT remove any labels from the tool.
  • Use of controls or performance of procedures other than those specified in the manual may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
