•  The laser tool should be checked regularly to ensure 
its accuracy, especially for precise layouts.
Horizontal Check
1.
  Mount the laser tool in its horizontal position 
(Figure Ⓐ ①) on a tripod 5m from a wall, with the 
front of the laser tool facing the wall (Figure Ⓝ ①).
2.
  Power ON the laser tool in Self-Levelling Mode 
(Figure Ⓜ ①).
3.
  Wait 5 seconds for the laser tool to Auto-Level and 
make sure the rotary laser beam is rotating.
4.
  Where the laser line appears on the wall, mark 
point D
1
 (Figure Ⓝ ①). If available, use a detector 
to more easily locate the beam.
5.
  Turn the laser tool 180° on the tripod. The back 
of the laser  tool should now be facing the wall 
(Figure Ⓝ ②).
6.
  Where the laser line appears on the wall, mark 
point D
2
 (Figure Ⓝ ②).
7.
  Measure the vertical distance between points D
1
 
and D
2
 (Figure Ⓝ ③).
•  If the distance between D
1
 and D
2
 is < 2.0mm, 
calibration is not required. You can continue 
using your laser tool.
•  If the distance between D
1
 and D
2
 is ≥2.0mm, 
you must  have your laser tool calibrated at an 
authorized Stanley service center. To locate 
your nearest Stanley service center, go to 
www.2helpU.com.
8.
  Turn the laser tool 90° so the left side faces the 
wall (Figure Ⓝ ④).
9.
  Repeat steps 
4.
 through 
7.
 for the sides of the 
laser tool.
Vertical Check
1.
  Mount the laser tool in its vertical position 
(Figure Ⓐ ②) on a level tripod 1m from a wall that 
is at least 2m high, with the left side of the laser 
tool facing the wall (Figure Ⓞ ①).
2.
  Power ON the laser tool in Manual Mode 
(Figure Ⓜ ②).
3.
  Where the rotary laser beam appears on the oor 
1m from the wall, mark point A (Figure Ⓞ ①):
4.
  Where the rotary laser beam, the oor, and the wall 
all meet, mark point B.
5.
  Where the rotary laser beam appears 2m up the 
wall, mark point D
1
.
6.
  Turn the laser tool 180° on the tripod. The right 
side of the laser tool should now be facing the wall 
(Figure Ⓞ ②).
7.
  Move the level tripod to align the rotary laser beam 
with points A and B.
8.
  Where the laser beam appears on the wall 2m 
above the oor, mark point D
2
 (Figure Ⓞ ②).
9.
  Measure the horizontal distance between points D
1
 
and D
2
 (Figure Ⓞ ②).
• If the distance between D
1
 and D
2
 is < 1.2mm, 
calibration is not required. You can continue 
using your laser tool.
• If the distance between D
1
 and D
2
 is ≥1.2mm, 
you must  have your laser tool calibrated at an 
authorized Stanley service center. To locate 
your nearest Stanley service center, go to 
www.2helpU.com.
Plumb Up Dot Accuracy Check
1.
  Mount the laser tool in its horizontal position 
(Figure Ⓐ ①) on a tripod in a room with a ceiling 
that is at least 7.5m higher than the tripod height 
(Figure Ⓟ ①).
