6. Turn the laser on if not on already; adjust rotation speed and con-
trols as needed.
7. To project a plumb laser reference plane, adjust the rotation speed
for preferred visibility. Remember: Slow Speed = Bright Beam;
Fast Speed = Solid Beam.
Manual Head Rotation Button
The laser has been designed with a
protective cap over the rotary head to pre-
vent accidental damage from work site activ-
ities. You can still access the rotary head
and manually direct the beam to establish or
transfer a mark. To manually rotate the laser
beam follow the instructions below.
If the laser is turned OFF, rotate the ON/OFF knob clockwise a 1/4 turn
or less. Ensure that the laser diodes are powered on and that the rotary
head is not spinning. If the laser is ON and spinning, rotate the ON/OFF
knob counterclockwise until rotation of the head stops.
Depress the spring loaded Manual Head Rotation Button (A) on the
top of the protective cap. The button will make contact with the rotary
laser head. While maintaining pressure on the Manual Head Rotation
Button, you can now turn the button and direct the laser beams in the
direction of your mark.
Since the laser has been designed with dual, side by side laser
diodes, you may see 2 laser dots on the object you are projecting the
beam onto. Marks can be made using either laser dot. Mark the cen-
ter of the dot.
DO NOT attempt to use the Manual Head Rotation Button while the
rotary head is spinning.
While using the Manual Head Rotation Button, it is recommended that
you set the Bump Sensor to Setting 1. See Bump Sensor operation.
NOTE: After storing this product in extremely cold conditions, the laser
head may not immediately rotate when turned on. The rotary head
may be started by depressing and turning the Manual Rotation Button
counterclockwise.

Laser Enhancement Glasses
The DEWALT Laser Kit includes a pair of Laser
Enhancement Glasses. These red lens glass-
es improve the visibility of the laser beam
under bright light conditions or over long dis-
tances. These glasses are not required to operate the laser but are
helpful. Working best indoors, the lens filters out ambient light and
intensifies the red laser dot or line to your eyes.
CAUTION: These glasses are not ANSI approved safety glasses
and should not be worn while operating other tools. These glasses do
not keep the laser beam from entering your eyes.
DANGER: NEVER STARE DIRECTLY INTO THE LASER BEAM,
WITH OR WITHOUT THESE GLASSES.
Target Card
The DEWALT Rotary Laser Kit includes a Laser
Target Card to aid in locating and marking the laser
beam. The target card enhances the visibility of the
laser beam as the beam crosses over the card. The
card is marked with inch and metric scales. The
laser beam passes through the red plastic and
reflects off of the reflective tape on the reverse side.
The magnets at the top hold the target card to ceil-
ing track or steel studs to determine plumb and level
positions.
Digital Laser Detector
The DEWALT Digital Laser Detector enables you to locate a laser
beam emitted by a Rotary Laser in bright light conditions or over long
distances. The detector can be used in both indoor and outdoor situ-
ations where it is difficult to see the laser beam. The detector is not for
use with non-rotating lasers.
The detector gives both visual and audio signals as to the location of
the laser beam as the beam crosses over the detector. The D
EWALT
Digital Laser Detector is compatible with most rotary lasers on the
