Starting Operation
- Protect the measuring tool from moisture and direct sunlight.
- Do not expose the measuring tool to any extreme temperatures or variations in temperature. For example, do not leave it in a car for extended periods of time. In case of large variations in temperature, allow the measuring tool to adjust to the ambient temperature before putting it into operation. The precision of the measuring tool may be compromised if exposed to extreme temperatures or variations in temperature.
- Avoid substantial knocks to the measuring tool and avoid dropping it. Damaging the measuring tool can cause accuracy to be compromised. If the laser line is subjected to a substantial knock or is dropped, check it by comparing it to a known horizontal or vertical reference line.
- Switch the measuring tool off when transporting it. The pendulum unit is locked when the tool is switched off, as it can otherwise be damaged by big movements.
Switching On/Off
To switch on the measuring tool, slide the on/off switch (5) to the ON position. Immediately after switching on, the measuring tool sends laser lines out of the outlet aperture (1).
- Do not direct the laser beam at persons or animals and do not stare into the laser beam yourself (even from a distance).
To switch off the measuring tool, slide the on/off switch (5) to the OFF position. The pendulum unit is locked when the tool is switched off.
- Never leave the measuring tool unattended when switched on, and ensure the measuring tool is switched off after use. Others may be blinded by the laser beam.
