ALWAYS turn the Digital level off when not in use. Leaving the tool on increases the risk of someone inadvertently star-

ing into the laser beam.

DO NOT operate the Digital Level in combustible areas such as in the presence of ammable liquids, gasses or dust.

DO NOT use on surfaces such as sheet steel that have a shiny, reective surface. The shiny surface could reect the

beam back at the operator. Be aware that laser light reected off a mirror or any other reective surfaces can also be

dangerous.

DO NOT attempt to modify the performance of this laser device in any way. This may result in a dangerous exposure to

laser radiation.

DO NOT use the Digital Level for any purpose other than those outlined in this manual. This could result in serious injury.

ALWAYS USE two “AAA” size batteries. Use of any other batteries may create a risk of re. INSERT the batteries cor-

rectly. Match the polarities, positive (+) to positive and negative (-) to negative, as marked inside battery compartment.

DO NOT short battery terminals.

DO NOT mix old and new batteries. If batteries are weak, replace both of them with two new batteries. These new bat-

teries should match each other in brand and type.

Remove dead batteries immediately and dispose of them according to your local ordinance.

NEVER dispose of batteries in re.

Keep batteries out of reach of children. They are not playthings.

Remove batteries and store separately if level will not be used for several days.

NOTE: Before attempting to use your level, familiarize yourself with all of the operating features and safety requirements.

This digital level is a highly versatile leveling tool designed for fast, easy operation.

Heavy-duty, lightweight aluminum construction, with the LCD digital module constructed of unbreakable ABS polymer that’s

sealed against dirt and water, and the toughest acrylic block bubble vials and solid-state laser components all add up to on-

the-job durability and long, dependable service.

Use the digital LCD readout for all your angle measurements and layout jobs, such as roof pitches, saw cut angles and drain-

age slopes.

Use the laser beam to extend a visual leveling line over distances much greater than a traditional bubble vial beam level.

Use the level manually, hand held, or mounted on a tripod (sold separately).

Use the digital level inside or outside to measure pitch in inches of rise per foot of run.

Measure in degrees with up to 0.05° accuracy.

Measure any slope in percent...measure level and plumb with either the LCD digital display or with the vertical and horizontal

bubble vials.

Features (Fig.1a)

Keyboard

LCD Display - Large, easy-to-read display screen reads right side up even when level is upside down.

Bubble Vials- The level or plumb of a surface can also be accurately measured by positioning the bubble inside the vial

in between the marks on the vial’s surface. The highly sensitive vial ensure the digital level has an accuracy of 0.029°.

Integrated 57cm Ruler

Laser On/OFF Button - Located on the right end cap of the level, powers the laser on/off.

Endcaps - Ends cushioned to help protect level from damage.

Laser Light Aperture - The laser beam is emitted from this opening, which is on the end cap of the level.
