Applications
The DW071 Rotary Laser is a versatile and accurate tool that can be
used for both interior and exterior construction and remodeling pro-
jects. The laser can be adjusted and positioned for use on dozens of
horizontal (level) and vertical (plumb) applications. A few of the most
common applications are listed below. General user steps are listed for
each application to serve as a guide. They are not intended to provide
you with detailed instructions to complete each leveling or plumbing
project.
Ceiling Installation
1. Follow the instructions in this manual for operating the optional
wall mount.
2. Securely attach the tool to the wall track and adjust the laser to
your chosen offset height.

TIP:
Remember the
front leveling knob controls the front bubble vial, the side leveling
knob controls the side bubble vial.
4. Turn the laser on if not on already; adjust rotation speed and con-
trols as needed. Remember: Slow Speed = Bright Line; Fast
Speed = Solid Line.
5. Use the Laser Target Card to help you find the rotating laser beam
reference plane. Attach the magnetic base of the Laser Target
Card to the ceiling track cross sections.
