Assembly
Inserting/Replacing the Battery 
(see figure A)
Alkali-manganese batteries are recommended for the 
measuring tool.
To open the battery lid  11, press the latch 10 in the di-
rection of the arrow and remove the battery lid.
Place the battery-recovery ribbon under the first bat-
tery being inserted. Insert  the supplied batteries in the 
sequence shown in the figure , paying attention to the 
correct polarity.
Always replace all batteries at the same time. Only use 
batteries from one brand and  with the identical capacity.
f Remove the batteries from the measuring tool 
when not using it for extended periods.  When stor-
ing for extended periods, the batteries can corrode 
and discharge themselves.

Operation
Initial Operation
f Protect the measuring tool  against moisture and 
direct sun light.
f Do not subject the measuring tool to extreme tem-
peratures or variations in temperature.  As an ex-
ample, do not leave it in vehicles for longer periods. 
In case of large variations in temperature, allow the 
measuring tool to adjust  to the ambient tempera-
ture before putting it into operation.
f Avoid heavy impact to or falling down of the meas-
uring tool. Damage to the measuring tool can impair 
its accuracy. After heavy impact or shock, compare 
the laser line with a known  horizontal or vertical ref-
erence line.
Switching On and Off
To  switch on  the measuring tool, push the On/Off 
switch  15. Immediately after switching on, the measur-
ing tool sends a laser beam  out of the exit opening 9.
f Do not point the laser beam at persons or animals 
and do not look into the laser beam yourself, not 
even from a large distance.
To  switch off  the measuring tool, push the On/Off 
switch  15 again.
f Do not leave the switched on measuring tool unat-
tended and switch the measuring tool off after 
use.  Other persons could be blinded by the laser 
beam.

Measuring Functions
Note: The specified levelling accuracy applies for the 
alignment of the laser beam wi th reference to the spirit 
levels  6 and 7.
Positioning the Measuring Tool (see figure B)
For precise alignment with the  spirit levels, the posi-
tion of the measuring tool is important.
The specified levelling accuracy  is only achieved when 
the measuring tool is  correctly positioned:
– For horizontal alignment with the spirit level  7, the 
aluminium supporting surface  8 of the measuring 
tool must face downward.
– For vertical alignment with the spirit level  6, the exit 
opening for the laser beam  9 must face upward.
Aligning with the Laser Line
Horizontal Alignment  (see figures C – D): Position the 
measuring tool with the three supporting points  12 
against the wall or with help of the magnets 14 , fasten 
it to the wall holder  1 or to another magnetic surface. 
The aluminium supporting surface  8 of the measuring 
tool must face downward.  Align the measuring tool 
horizontally with help of the spirit level  7. Picture 
frames or tiles, as an example, can be aligned along-
side the horizontal laser line.

Vertical Alignment  (see figure D): Position the meas-
uring tool with the three supporting points  12 against 
the wall or with help of the magnets  14, fasten it to the 
wall holder  1 or to another magnetic surface. The exit 
opening for the laser beam  9 must face upward. Align 
the measuring tool vertically  with help of the spirit level 
6 . Top and bottom cabinets, as an example, can be 
aligned alongside the vertical laser line.
Alignment off of Reference Points  (see figure E): Po-
sition the measuring tool  with the three supporting 
points  12 against the wall or wi th help of the magnets 
14 , fasten it to the wall holder  1 or to another magnetic 
surface. Turn the measuring  tool to any angle in order 
to align the laser beam to the reference points. In this 
manner, as an example, pict ure frames can be hung 
parallel to a stairway or ceiling pitch.
Checking Horizontal/Vertical Lines with the Spirit 
Levels (see figure F)
The measuring tool can be used as a contractors level 
for checking horizontal or ve rtical lines, e. g., for the 
level set-up of a washer or a refrigerator. Position the 
measuring tool with the al uminium supporting surface 
8  facing against the surface  to be checked. When posi-
tioning against horizontal su rfaces, the aluminium sup-
porting surface  8 must face downward. When position-
ing against vertical surfac es, the exit opening for the 
laser beam  9 must face upward.

Working Advice
fKeep the adhesive tape stri ps 4 out of the reach of 
small children.  Children could mistake the strips 
with chewing gum.
Mounting to a Wall
Four fastening methods are  available for fastening the 
wall holder to different surfaces:
– Fastening with Adhesive Tape Strips  
(see figure G): With the re movable adhesive tape 
strips  4, the wall holder can be fastened to sensitive 
or delicate sturctural  materials without causing 
damage to them. The structural surface must be 
straight, firm, dry, grease -free and have a tempera-
ture of at least 15 ° C . Pull  off one of the protective 
foils from an adhesive tape strip ( c) and position 
the adhesive tape strip onto the back side of the 
wall holder ( d) in such a manner that its end 
projects out. Pull off the  second protective foil (e) 
and firmly press the wall  holder with the adhesive 
tape strip against the structural surface ( f) for at 
least five seconds. To remove the wall holder, pull 
out the adhesive tape stri p by the projecting end 
slowly and as parallel as  possible to the structural 
surface ( g).
– Fastening with Pins  (see figure H): With the pins  2 
provided, the wall holder ca n be fastened to drywall 
or wooden walls. Insert the pins through the open-
ings in the wall holder as shown in the figure.

30 | English 
– Fastening with a Screw : Place the wall holder 1 via 
the opening on the back side onto a screw that 
projects lightly out of the wall.
– Fastening with Adhesive Tape  (see figure I): The 
wall holder can also be fa stened with commercially 
available adhesive tape (not included in the delivery 
scope) as shown in the figure.
For all four fastening metho ds, pay attention that the 
wall holder  1 is fastened securely to the structural sur-
face. Faulty measurements can result when the wall 
holder slips away.
Attach the measuring  tool via the magnets 14 onto the 
metal plate  3 of the wall holder  1.
Belt Clip
With the belt clip  5, the measuring tool, as an example, 
can be hooked to a belt and is always at hand.
Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and Cleaning
f Check the measuring tool each time before use.  In 
case of visible damage or  loose components inside 
the measuring tool, safe func tion can no longer be 
ensured.
Keep the measuring tool clea n and dry at all times to 
ensure proper and safe working.
Wipe off debris using a moist  and soft cloth. Do not use 
any cleaning agents or solvents.
