Note: Always check to be sure that the laser is off before removing

and replacing battery packs.

Alkalin Batt ry Pack Installation

1. Put 4 “C” batteries into the battery pack

according to polarity direction.

2. Attach the battery pack to the laser.

Ni-MH R charg abl Batt ry Charging

Using the 6.4V battery adapter (included), charge the

rechargeable battery pack directly to the battery pack

(Fig 1.) or while the battery pack is connected to the

laser (Fig. 2). When the charge indicator LED turns

from red to green (after approximately five hours) on

the 6.4V battery adapter (Fig. 3), the Ni-MH recharge-

able battery pack has been fully charged.

Note:

(1) For the first two charges of new

rechargeable batteries, it is recommended

to charge for 12 plus hours.

(2) The unit can still work during charging

with the adapter.

(3) Do not charge alkaline batteries to avoid explosion.

Power n/ ff

1. Press the power on/off button to power the laser on. The

power LED will light up and the laser will electronically self-

level itself, with rotation occurring once the unit is level at 600

rpms. The laser will automatically enter into the Tilt mode and the

Tilt LED will flash slowly for 30 seconds then become solid.

2. Press the power on/off button again to power off.

Low Battery Indication

f the power LED is flashing, the battery is low. To ensure normal

operation, replace alkaline batteries or charge the rechargeable

Ni-MH battery pack.

Alarm If Beyond Range

f the laser is inclined beyond the self-leveling range of ±5°, it will

deliver an audible alarm, and will not rotate. You will need to

re-position the laser until it is within the leveling range.

Tilt Mode Button

After turning on the laser, the laser will self-level and begin to

rotate. The Tilt mode LED will blink for 30 seconds after the

laser begins to rotate. During these 30 seconds if the laser is moved,

the laser will stop rotating, re-level and begin to rotate again. After 30

seconds, the Tilt mode LED will stop blinking and will become solid. f

the laser is moved when the Tilt mode LED is solid, the laser will stop

rotating. The laser beam will blink on and off and the Tilt mode LED

will blink quickly alerting the user the height of the laser may have

been changed. Pressing the tilt mode button on the laser keypad will

8488H-English_Manuals 11/11/14 2:36 PM Page 9

turn off the tilt mode and will allow the laser to re-level and start

rotating again. Press the tilt mode button again to enter tilt mode.

Vibrate V-W-S Button

Press the Vibrate V-W-S button and the Vibrate V-W-S LED

will turn on, which means the laser is in vibrate mode.

Vibrate mode allows continuous operation during high winds,

vibrations and shocks. Slight movements are ignored and the laser

only enters Tilt mode if significant movement occurs. Press the

Vibrate V-W-S button again to turn vibrate off.
