• 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.
