Usage Features:
The laser level offers multiple mounting options to suit diverse applications:
-
Turning ON/OFF: The on/off switch is located on the front of the laser level. Press the switch to turn the laser ON; press it again to turn the laser OFF.
-
Using the Laser Level:
- Always turn the laser beam off when mounting the laser level.
- Two bubble levels allow for either horizontal or vertical leveling.
- The laser level and cradle are preinstalled onto the protractor base.
- To remove the protractor base for other applications, loosen the knob that holds it in place.
- The cradle provides hands-free use, but the laser level may be used alone.
- The protractor base with push pins can be used on either a smooth or non-smooth surface.
-
Mounting with the Protractor Base:
- For projecting the laser beam at an angle from 0° to 90°.
- Remove the push pins from the storage area.
- Place the protractor base flat against the desired surface. It may be helpful to place a push pin at 90° to hold the base steady while leveling the base at 0°.
- Use the bubble levels to set the base horizontally at 0°.
- Push a pin into the lower hole at 0°.
- Turn the laser on to project the laser beam.
- Pivot the laser level to set the laser beam to the desired angle.
-
Mounting with the Magnet:
- Remove the protractor base.
- Attach the magnet to a clean metal surface.
- Use the bubble levels to level the unit.
- Turn the laser on to project the laser beam.
-
Mounting with the Suction Cups:
- For mounting to smooth surfaces.
- Remove the protractor base.
- Place the unit onto a smooth, non-textured surface but do not press the suction cups into place initially.
- Use the bubble levels to level the unit.
- Hold the laser level in place and press the suction cups onto a non-textured surface until they are securely in place.
- Turn the laser on to project the laser beam.
- To release suction cups from the surface, lift the tabs on the sides of the suction cups. Pulling on the unit without first loosening the suction cups could damage the multi-surface cradle.
-
Mounting with the Push Pins:
- For securing the laser level on non-smooth surfaces.
- Remove the protractor base.
- Remove the push pins from the storage area.
- Place the laser level onto the desired surface and use the bubble levels to level the unit.
- Insert a push pin into each hole on the sides of the cradle and push the pins into the mounting surface.
- Turn the laser on to project the laser beam.
-
Mounting with the Adhesive Putty:
- For mounting to drywall, wood, and other suitable surfaces.
- Remove the release liner before use.
- The adhesive putty may be washed and used repeatedly. To maintain good adhesion, wash the putty frequently and ensure it is clean of any dust or debris before operation.
- Do not use the adhesive putty to fasten onto the wall if the wall surface is loose or wet. Always keep the target wall surface clean.
- Remove from the wall slowly after using; any residue of the adhesive putty remaining on the wall can be cleaned by rolling the adhesive putty over the residue.
Charging:
- Connect the USB cable to charge the laser level.
- The charging light turns red when charging.
- The charging light turns green when charging is completed. Remove the USB cable.
Maintenance Features:
- Storage: Store the laser level indoors.
- Cleaning: Keep the laser level free of dust and liquids. Use a damp cloth and mild soap to clean the outside casing. Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts, as most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents.
- Laser Lens Cleaning: To clean the laser lens, if needed, use ONLY a soft cloth or cotton swab moistened with glass cleaner.
- Disassembly: Do not disassemble the laser level, as this could cause exposure to hazardous laser radiation. Do not attempt to change any part of the laser lens.
Safety Instructions:
- Always read and understand the operator's manual before use.
- Failure to follow instructions may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury.
- Use of controls or adjustments other than specified may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
- Using an optical instrument with this product will increase eye hazard.
- Always be aware of the laser light emission location.
- Ensure bystanders are aware of the dangers of looking directly into the laser beam.
- Avoid direct eye exposure and do not project the laser beam into others' eyes to prevent serious eye injury.
- Do not remove or deface product labels, as this increases the risk of exposure to laser radiation.
- Do not place the laser level in a position where anyone might stare into the laser beam intentionally or unintentionally.
- Do not operate the laser level around children or allow children to operate the tool.
- Always turn the laser level off when not in use.
- Do not operate in combustible areas (flammable liquids, gasses, or dust).
- Ensure the laser beam is aimed at a non-reflective surface.
- Handle the laser level with care, like any other optical device.
- Avoid exposing the laser level to shock, continuous vibration, or extreme temperatures.
- Save these instructions for frequent reference and to instruct others.
