WARNING:
Batteries can explode, or leak, and can cause
injury or fire. To reduce this risk:
• Carefully follow all instructions and warnings on the
battery label and package.
• Always insert batteries correctly with regard to polarity
(+ and –), as marked on the battery and the
equipment.
• Do not short battery terminals.
• Do not charge disposable batteries.
• Do not mix old and new batteries. Replace all batteries
at the same time with new batteries of the same brand
and type.
• Remove dead batteries immediately and dispose of
per local codes.
• Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
• Keep batteries out of reach of children.
• Remove batteries when the device is not in use.

2.
On the bottom of the laser, lift up the latch to open the
battery compartment cover (Figure
3. Insert two new, high-quality, name brand AA batteries,

Turning the Laser On
1. Place the laser on a smooth, flat, level surface, with
the laser facing straight ahead toward the opposing
wall (0º position).
2.
Turn the laser ON to display the horizontal and
vertical laser beams. Either:
• Move the Power/Transport Lock switch to the left
to keep the pendulum locked and display the cross
beams in manual mode (Figure
• Move the Power/Transport Lock switch to the right
to unlock the pendulum and display the cross
beams in self-leveling mode (Figure
3. Check the horizontal and vertical laser beams.
• If the laser is tilted so much that it cannot self-level
(> 4°), or the laser is not level in manual mode, the
laser beams will flash.
• If the laser beams flash, the laser is not level (or
plumb) and should NOT BE USED for determining or
marking level or plumb. Try repositioning the laser
on a level surface.
4. If ANY of the following statements are TRUE,
continue with the instructions for Checking Laser
Accuracy BEFORE USING THE LASER for a project.
• This is the first time you are using the laser
(in case the laser was exposed to extreme
temperatures).
• The laser has not been checked for accuracy in
a while.
• The laser may have been dropped.
