Working Advice

The laser target plate (25) improves visibility of the laser beam in unfavourable conditions and at greater distances.

The reflective surface of the laser target plate (25) improves visibility of the laser line. The transparent surface enables the laser line to be seen from behind the laser target plate.

A tripod offers a stable, height-adjustable support surface for measuring. Place the measuring tool with the 1/4" tripod mount (12) on the thread of the tripod (29) or a conventional camera tripod. Use the 5/8" tripod mount (13) to secure the measuring tool on a conventional building tripod. Tighten the measuring tool using the locking screw of the tripod.

Roughly align the tripod before switching on the measuring tool.

Positioning possibilities of the magnetic rotating mount (9):

  • Standing on a flat surface (see figure A),
  • Using a commercially available fastening screw, it can be attached via the fastening slot (8) to a vertical surface (see figure B)
  • Using the magnets (14), it can be attached to magnetisable materials (see figure C)
  • In combination with the ceiling clip (23), it can be attached to metallic crown mouldings (see figures D−E)
  • Mounted on a tripod (see figure F)
  • Keep your fingers away from the rear side of the magnetic rotating mount while attaching the rotating mount to surfaces. The strong pulling force of the magnets (14) may jam your fingers.

Roughly align the magnetic rotating mount (9) before switching on the measuring tool.

You can use the fine adjustment screw (11) of the rotating mount to align vertical laser lines precisely with reference points.

Use the laser receiver (26) to improve detection of the laser lines in adverse lighting conditions (bright environment, direct sunlight) and over greater distances.

All operating modes are suitable for operation with the laser receiver (26).

The laser goggles filter out ambient light. This makes the light of the laser appear brighter to the eye.

  • Do not use the laser goggles (accessory) as protective goggles. The laser goggles make the laser beam easier to see; they do not protect you against laser radiation.
  • Do not use the laser goggles (accessory) as sunglasses or while driving. The laser goggles do not provide full UV protection and impair your ability to see colours.

Examples of possible applications for the measuring tool can be found on the graphics pages.
