Foundations
1. Follow the instructions in this manual for setting up the laser on a
Tripod.
2. Use the Two-Position Pivoting Head Adjustment Knob to pivot the
laser head for a level setting.
3. Follow the instructions for leveling the laser.
4. Turn the laser on if not on already; adjust rotation speed and con-
trols as needed. Remember: When working with the DEWALT
Digital Laser Detector set the variable control speed to the highest
setting (600 RPM).
5. Mount the DEWALT Digital Laser Detector to the Detector Clamp
and attach the clamp onto a Grade Rod or other leveling rod.
6. Adjust the clamp to the proper height on the rod for detecting the
rotating laser beam and for leveling the foundation.
7. You can now begin to level the area for the foundation.
Deck Building
1. Follow the instructions in this manual for
setting up the laser on a Tripod.
2. Use the Two-Position Pivoting Head
Adjustment Knob to pivot the laser head
for a level setting.
3. Follow the instructions for leveling the
laser.
4. Turn the laser on if not on already; adjust
rotation speed and controls as needed.
Remember: When working with the
DEWALT Digital Laser Detector set the
variable control speed to the highest set-
ting (600 RPM).
5. Use the D
EWALT Digital Laser Detector to locate the rotating laser
beam and to set your marks on the posts.
6. You can now begin to lay out and level the deck.
Maintenance
• To maintain the accuracy of your work, have the laser checked
often to make sure it is properly calibrated.
• Calibration checks and other maintenance repairs can be per-
formed by D
EWALT service centers. Two free calibration checks
are included under the D
EWALT One Year Free Service Contract.
• When not in use, store the laser in the kit box provided.
• Do not store your laser in the kit box if the laser is wet. Allow laser
to air dry and dry exterior parts with a soft dry cloth.
• Do not store your laser at temperatures below 0˚ F or above 105˚F.
CLEANING: Exterior plastic parts may be cleaned with a damp
cloth and mild detergent. Although these parts are highly solvent resis-
tant, NEVER use solvents. Use a soft dry cloth to remove moisture
from tool and accessories before storage. Never use compressed air
to clean the laser.
Field Calibration Check
This section provides instructions by which you can perform simple
field calibration checks of your D
EWALT Rotary Laser. These checks
cannot take the place of professional calibration done by a D
EWALT
service center.
These instructions will help you check for the three types of out-of-
level errors.
• Tilt Error - checks that rotation of the head in your Rotary Laser
is perfectly level.
• Cone Error - checks that the laser beams are not at an angle
relative to the level head.
• Plumb Error - checks the calibration of the plumb leveling vial.
TILT ERROR CHECKS
Horizontal Checking for Front to Back Tilt Error
• Set up a tripod midway between 2 vertical surfaces about 100'
apart.
