Working with the reference/plumb laser
The unit has one green and one red reference laser. In horizontal operation
these lasers can be used to drop a perpendicular. In vertical operation these
reference lasers are used to align the unit. This is done by adjusting the refe-
rence lasers parallel to the wall. This aligns the vertical laser plane at a right
angle to the wall, see Figure 2 on Page 2.
Green laser technology
The distance at which a laser is visible to the naked eye depends on its colour
i.e. wavelength. This is because of the human eye's physiology – green appe-
ars brighter to us than red. Depending on ambient light, green lasers are the-
refore many times more visible than red lasers; in indoor areas this is as much
as 12 times brighter. This permits applications on dark surfaces, over longer
distances and work in very bright ambient light. A red laser with a 635 nm
wavelength is used as a reference value for brightness differentiation.
In contrast to red lasers, green laser light can only be produced indirectly. This
is a source of potential characteristic fluctuations:
• The optimal operating temperature is 20°C. Outside of the operating tem-
perature range of 0 ... 40°C green lasers become darker. IMPORTANT:
Allow the unit enough time to adapt to the ambient temperature before
switching the unit on.
• Laser brightness may vary somewhat from one unit to another. This is a
natural phenomena and excluded from warranty claims.

Note:
Regularly check the calibration before
use, after transport and after extended
periods of storage. Always make sure
to control all axes. See also "General
