GB • If the laser is dropped or has suffered a sharp blow, have the

calibration system checked by a qualified service center before

using the laser.

Turning the Laser On

1. Insert the fully charged DEWALT 18V battery pack as shown in

Figure D.

2. Gently press the power button to power ON the laser:

• The power LED indicator light (Figure A 3) will illuminate.

• Self-leveling mode is activated automatically and the laser unit

will self-level. Once the laser unit is level, the beam will rotate

clockwise once at 600RPM.

• 30 sec. after the last button press, HI Mode (Height of

Instrument, Anti-Drift) is activated automatically and the HI LED

(Figure A 2) will illuminate. (You can disable HI Mode by

holding down the Slope Mode button for 2 secs. The laser

will beep twice and the HI Mode LED will turn off. NOTE: when

HI Mode is disabled, the laser cannot detect any movement

after setup, so accuracy cannot be guaranteed.)

3. Press (Figure A 16 ) to adjust the Rotation Speed of the

laser beam through its 4 preset speeds (150, 300, 600, and

1200 RPM). NOTE: Accuracy is best optimized at 600 RPM or

less.

4. To change the Direction of the laser beam while in self-leveling

mode, press or (Figure A 18 or 19 ).

5. Press the Scan Mode button

15˚/45˚/90˚

(Figure A 17 ) to set the laser

to scan in 0°, 15°, 45°, or 90° angle mode.

•

15˚/45˚/90˚

is used to make the laser head sweep back and forth,

creating a short, bright laser line. This short line is much

brighter and more visible than when the unit is in full rotation

mode.

• The direction of the scan zone can be controlled with the arrow

buttons and (Figure A 18 or 19 )

6. If you press the Slope Mode button to turn ON Slope Mode,

the unit automatically engages the X-Axis. This allows you to

slope the laser in the direction of the X-Axis, as indicated by the

X mark on the top roll cage.

• In certain situations, it may be desirable to slope the laser in

the Y-axis. The direction of Slope Mode can be changed back

and forth between the Y-axis and the X-axis by pressing the

X-Y axis button (Figure A 13 ).

• If using X-axis leveling, the X-axis LED (Figure A 15 ) will light,

or if using Y-axis leveling, the Y-axis LED (Figure A 14 ) will

light instead.

7. When in Slope Mode, press or to tilt the laser head up

and down (adjust the elevation of the laser beam).

• Each quick press of or will move the slope by 0.01º

(1/16" @ 30ft. or 1.6mm @ 10m).

• If you press and hold or between 2 sec - 10 sec, the

slope will move from 0.01º/sec to 0.2º/sec.

• If you press and hold or longer than 10 sec, the slope will

move 0.2º/sec.

8. To turn off the laser unit, press and hold the power button for

3 secs.

9. BEFORE using the laser for your first project, follow the

instructions for Checking the Calibration.

NOTE: When you press the Slope Mode button again, the laser

will return to self-level mode.

Checking the Calibration

Field calibration checks should be done frequently. This section

provides instructions for performing simple field calibration checks of

your DeWALT Rotary Laser. Field calibration checks do not calibrate

the laser. That is, these checks do not correct errors in the leveling

or plumb capability of the laser. Instead, the checks indicate whether

or not the laser is providing a correct level and plumb line. These

checks cannot take the place of professional calibration performed

by a DeWALT service center.
