5. The Laser Level will work properly if it is  
positioned within its self-leveling range.  
2. Be sure to set the Laser on as flat a surface as  
possible. The tri-brack adjustment on the base  
of the level can be used to help level the unit.  
(Turn each of the knobs to either raise or  
lower that corner.) The self-leveling range of  
the Laser is within ± . Use the 2 Vials on  
the base to verify that the base is level.  
6. Allow 4-6 seconds for the horizontal  
and vertical Laser lines to be stabilized.  
After stabilization, the Laser lines can be used for  
measurement reference. Laser lines may swing  
slightly due to vibration from surroundings.  
7. To prevent damage to the level, tighten the  
pendulum lock (see Figure 1 on page 3)
