Using the Laser
Operating Tips
• Always mark the center of the beam created by the laser.
• Extreme temperature changes may cause movement of
internal parts that can affect accuracy. Check your accuracy
often while working.
• If the laser is ever dropped, check to make sure it is still
calibrated.
• As long as the laser is properly calibrated, the laser is self-
leveling. Each laser is calibrated at the factory to nd level as
long as it is positioned on a at surface within average ± 4°
of level. No manual adjustments are required.
Turning the Laser Off
Slide the Power/Transport Lock switch to the OFF/Locked
position (Figure
A
#1a) when the laser is not in use. If the
switch is not placed in the Locked position, all 4 LEDs will
remain lit on the Battery Meter on the keypad (
A
#3).
Using the Pivot Bracket
The laser has a magnetic pivot bracket (Figure
B
#3, Figure
D
#1) permanently attached to the unit.
WARNING:
Position the laser and/or wall mount on a stable
surface. Serious personal injury or damage to the
laser may result if the laser falls.
• The bracket has magnets (Figure
B
#2) which allow the unit
to be mounted to most upright surfaces made of steel or iron.
Common examples of suitable surfaces include steel framing
studs, steel door frames, and structural steel beams.
• The bracket has a keyhole slot (Figure
B
#1) so it can be
hung from a nail or screw on any kind of surface.
Using the Laser with Accessories
WARNING:
Since accessories other than those offered by
DeWALT have not been tested with this laser, use of
such accessories with this laser could be hazardous.
Only use DeWALT accessories that are recommended for use
with this model. Accessories that may be suitable for one laser
may create a risk of injury when used with another laser.
The bottom of the laser is equipped with 1/4-20 and 5/8-11
female threads (Figure
C
) to accommodate current or future
DeWALT accessories. Only use DeWALT accessories specied
for use with this laser. Follow the directions included with the
accessory.
Recommended accessories for use with this laser are available
at extra cost from your local dealer or authorized service center.
If you need assistance locating any accessory, please contact
your nearest DeWALT service center or visit our website: http://

Using the Laser with the Ceiling Bracket
The laser ceiling bracket (if included) offers more mounting
options for the laser. The ceiling mount has a clamp at one
end which can be xed to a wall angle for acoustic ceiling
installation. At each end of the ceiling mount is a screw hole to
allow it to be hung from a nail or screw on any kind of surface.
Once the ceiling mount is secured, its steel plate provides a
surface to which the magnetic pivot bracket can be attached.
The position of the laser can then be ne-tuned by sliding the
magnetic pivot bracket up or down on the wall mount.
Maintenance
• When the laser is not in use, clean the exterior parts with a
damp cloth, wipe the laser with a soft dry cloth to make sure it
is dry, and then store the laser in the kit box provided.
• Although the laser exterior is solvent resistant, NEVER use
solvents to clean the laser.
• Do not store the laser at temperatures below -20 ˚C (-5 ˚F ) or
above 60 ˚C (140 ˚F).
• To maintain the accuracy of your work, check the laser often
to make sure it is properly calibrated.
• Calibration checks and other maintenance repairs may be
performed by DeWALT service centers.
