Unpacking
When unpacking, check to make sure the parts shown on the cover of this
manual are included. If any parts are missing or broken, please call Harbor
Freight Tools at the number on the cover of this manual.
Operating Instructions
A Tripod may also be used with the Cross Line Laser (not included).
1. After removing the Laser from the Carrying Bag (4), insert the three “AA”
Batteries (2) into the battery compartment according to the polarity symbols
shown in the Battery Compartment. Close the Battery Compartment door.
See Figure A.
2. Release the Pendulum Lock on the bottom of the Laser, by sliding the “door”
to the center. See Figure B.

3. Be sure to set the Laser on as flat a surface as possible. The self-leveling
range of the Laser is within ±5°. The Laser will work properly if it is
positioned within its self-leveling range.
4. Press the button on the top of the unit to switch “ON”. Either button will turn
on the red indicator light. The “H” Button is for the horizontal line and the “IV”
button is for the vertical line. See Figure C.

5. For safety reasons, after you have pushed either horizontal or vertical
buttons to switch “ON”, there will be a delay of one second before the Laser
beam is emitted. This delay will not happen when pressing the second
button. If the Laser Beam blinks, it means it is still locked or NOT within the
leveling range.
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.

How to Use the Rotary Base:
1. Loosen the Hand Wheel and put the Laser unit on the Rotary Base. Adjust
so that the “center line” under the Laser Window is aligned with the “center
line” of the Rotary Base. Tighten the Hand Wheel. Recognize the rotating
range according to the graduation aiming at the “center line.”
See Figures D & E.

2. Rotating Base has a 3600 scale. Set at desired increments for measuring,
i.e. tiles for flooring, cabinet installation, wainscoting and wallpapering,
bathroom tiling, putting up pictures, aligning shelves, window framing, etc.
See Figure E.
To Use the Wall Mount:
1. Fix the Wall Mount (1) to the wall with screws (not included). Be sure the
holes drilled for the mounting of the screws are level and that the wall is solid
and there are no hidden electrical wires that may interfere. Leave the screws
extended from the wall by about 1/4” so you can slip the Wall Mount (1) on
and off the wall. Use the Adjustment Knob to choose measurements. See
Figure G. You can also use the Magnetic Bracket (3) (not shown) for hanging
from a steel beam or shelf.
2. Set the Hand Wheel, Rotary Base and Laser (assembled) on the shelf of the
Wall Mount (1). Use the Mounting Knob for the Wall Mount (1) and thread it
through the shelf and into the threaded hole on the bottom of the Laser/
Rotary Base assembly. Adjust laser level to proper height. Lock it in place
with the Holding Knob on the side of the Wall Bracket. See Figure F, G & H.

Level Beam Accuracy:
1. Set up the instrument with the Wall Mount (1) or Tripod (not included),
centered between two walls approximately 16 ft. apart. Please ensure the
Rotary Base is approximately on level.
2. Press both the horizontal and vertical buttons to project a laser cross on wall
A. Mark point a1 at the intersection of the beams. Turn the cross line laser
180° and repeat on wall B, marking point b1 at the intersection of the beams.
See Figure I.
3. Move the instrument to the point 2 ft. from wall A and repeat step 21 marking
the intersections as a2 and b2.

Horizontal Beam Level Accuracy (End to End)
1. Set up the instrument with the Wall Mount (1) or Tripod (not included),
approximately 16 ft. from the wall. Please ensure the Rotary Base in
approximately level.
2. Press both the horizontal and vertical buttons to project a laser cross on the
wall, mark point M 8 ft. from the intersection of the beams on the horizontal
1
beam. See Figure J.
3. Turn the instrument until the vertical beam has moved 16.4 ft. to the right
side, and mark M 8 ft. from the intersection of the beams on the horizontal
2
line.
4. Measure the distance between M1 and M2. See Figure J.
5. If the distance is less or equal to
2mm, the accuracy is within
tolerance. Otherwise, take the

Vertical Beam Level Accuracy (End to End)
1. Set up the instrument with the Wall Mount (1) or Tripod (not included),
approximately 16 ft. from the wall. (The wall should be at least 16-1/2 ft.
high). Please ensure the Rotary Base is approximately level.
2. Press both the horizontal and vertical buttons to project a laser cross on the
wall, mark point A 8 ft. above the intersection of the beams on the vertical
beam.
3. Regarding A as a starting point and nail one end of a string with plumb bob
(not included) on A. The length of the string should be over 16 ft..
4. Mark M1 8 ft. from point A on the string.
5. Mark M2 8 ft. above the intersection of the beams on the vertical line.
6. Measure the distance between M1 and M2.
7. If the distance is less or equal to 10 ft., the accuracy is within tolerance.
Otherwise, take the instrument to a qualified technician for repair.
After Using Laser
1. Detach Laser from Wall Mount (1) or Tripod (not included).
2. Switch off both laser lines, horizontal and vertical. Check to see indicator
light is off.
3. Lock Pendulum Lock by sliding the door from the center position. After use
the Pendulum Lock should be locked before the instrument is put away in the
Carrying Bag (4). See Figure B.
Note: When the Pendulum Lock is unlocked, do not shake or strike the
instrument, otherwise the mechanism inside could be damaged.
Warning: Always make certain the Laser is OFF before adjusting or chang-
ing batteries.
To change the batteries, remove the Battery Cover, (see figure A), and insert
three new “AA” Batteries. Follow the polarity symbols so that the positive and
negative ends of the batteries match the diagram. Do not mix old and new
batteries. Remove batteries when storing Laser.
Warning: This product contains or produces a chemical known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth defects (or other reproductive harm). (Califor-
nia Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)
