– Turn the measuring tool around by 180°, allow it to level in

and mark the centre point of the laser beam on the oppo-

site wall B (point II).

– Without turning the measuring tool, position it close to wall

B. Switch the measuring tool on and allow it to level in.

– Align the height of the measuring tool (using the tripod or

by underlaying, if required) in such a manner that the cen-

tre point of the laser beam is projected exactly against the

previously marked point II on wall B.

– Rotate the measuring tool by 180° without changing the

height. Allow it to level in and mark the centre point of the

laser beam on wall A (point III). Take care that point III is

as vertical as possible above or below point I.

– The difference d of both marked points I and III on wall A

results in the actual height deviation of the measuring tool

alongside the longitudinal axis.

On the measuring distance of 2 x 20 m = 40 m, the maximum

allowable deviation is: 40 m x ±0,3 mm/m = ±12 mm.

Thus, the difference d between points I and III may not ex-

ceed 12 mm (max.).

Working Advice

 Always use the centre of the laser point for marking.

The size of the laser point changes with the distance.

Attaching with the Holder

To fasten the measuring tool on the holder 8, screw the lock-

ing screw 9 of the holder into the 1/4" tripod mount 6 on the

measuring tool and tighten. To rotate the measuring tool on

the holder, slightly loosen the screw 9.

– Rotate the measuring tool on the holder 8 sideward or

toward the rear to make the bottom plumb beam visible.

– Rotate the measuring tool on the holder 8 to project

heights with the horizontal laser beam.

With the holder 8, the measuring tool can be attached as

follows:

– Mount the holder 8 to the tripod 18 or a commercially

available camera tripod via the 1/4" tripod mount 13. For

fastening to a commercially available construction tripod,

use the 5/8" tripod mount 14.

– The holder 8 can be fastened to steel parts via the magnets

12.

– The holder 8 can be fastened to drywalls or wood walls

with screws. For this, insert screws with a minimum length

of 60 mm into the screw holes 10 of the holder.

– The holder 8 can also be fastened to pipes or similar beams

using a commercially available strap by threading it

through the opening 11 for strap attachment.

Working with the Tripod (Accessory)

A tripod 18 offers a stable, height-adjustable measuring sup-

port. Place the measuring tool via the tripod mount 6 onto the

1/4" male thread of the tripod and screw the locking screw of

the tripod tight.

Working with the Measuring Plate (Accessory)

With the measuring plate 15, it is possible to project the laser

mark onto the floor or the laser height onto a wall.

With the zero field and the scale, the offset or drop to the re-

quired height can be measured and projected at another loca-

tion. This eliminates the necessity of precisely adjusting the

measuring tool to the height to be projected.

The measuring plate 15 has a reflective coating that enhances

the visibility of the laser beam at greater distances or in

intense sunlight. The brightness intensification can be seen

only when viewing, parallel to the laser beam, onto the meas-

uring plate.

Laser Viewing Glasses (Accessory)

The laser viewing glasses filter out the ambient light. This

makes the red light of the laser appear brighter for the eyes.

 Do not use the laser viewing glasses as safety goggles.

The laser viewing glasses are used for improved visualisa-

tion of the laser beam, but they do not protect against laser

radiation.

 Do not use the laser viewing glasses as sun glasses or in

traffic. The laser viewing glasses do not afford complete

UV protection and reduce colour perception.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning

Store and transport the measuring tool only in the supplied

protective pouch.

Keep the measuring tool clean at all times.

Do not immerse the measuring tool in water or other fluids.

Wipe off debris using a moist and soft cloth. Do not use any

cleaning agents or solvents.

Regularly clean the surfaces at the exit opening of the laser in

particular, and pay attention to any fluff or fibres.

In all correspondence and spare parts orders, please always

include the 10-digit article number given on the type plate of

the measuring tool.
