DeWalt DW071 Laser Level User Manual


 
2
Your DEWALT laser is equipped with 2, side by side laser diodes
which produce an extremely bright, visible beam when the laser
head is rotated.
Always mark the center of the laser line or dot.
To increase working distance and accuracy, set up the laser in the
middle of your working area.
When attaching to a tripod or wall, mount the laser securely.
When working indoor a slow rotary head speed will produce a
visibly brighter line, a faster rotary head speed will produce a visi-
bly solid line.
To increase beam visibility, wear the Laser Enhancement Glasses
provided and/or use the Laser Target Card to help find the beam.
To transfer a laser dot mark use the Manual Rotation Button on the
top of the laser head for quick and easy control. See “Manual Head
Rotation Button” section for instructions.
Extreme temperature changes can cause movement of internal
parts that can effect accuracy. Check your accuracy often while
working.
When working with the D
EWALT Digital Laser Detector set the
laser variable speed control to the fastest setting.
Utilize the Bump Sensor feature on the laser to warn you if the tool
has been bumped after set up.
If the laser has been dropped or has tipped over while set up on a
tripod, have the calibration system checked by a qualified service
center before continuing use.
