FEATURES (Fig. A)
5 individual laser diodes produce 5 brilliant dots of light
On/Off Switch (#1, Fig. A)
The ON/OFF switch serves two purposes. Not only does it turn the power on
and off, it also locks the lasers in place. When the switch is placed in the
OFF position, a lock mechanism secures the pendulum (laser diodes) for
transportation or storage. This “Push & Slide” mechanism is designed to
protect the pendulum and to provide a product that will last on the job site.
Out of Level Indicator
The SP5 has a warning to let you know that the unit is out of level beyond its
self-leveling capability. If the lasers start blinking quickly, just move the SP5
to a more level position.
Low Battery Indicator
The laser will blink on and off 4 times every 8 seconds when there is approxi-
mately 2 hours of battery life remaining. Average life of the 3 “AA” batteries
is +/- 15 hours of intermittent use. It is always a good idea to put extra batter-
ies in the carrying case.

be mounted on a 1/4" x 20 thread camera tripod, a 5/8” x 11 surveyor’s tripod
or attached to any ferrous metal surface (such as steel studs) by using the
magnets located on the rear and bottom side of the mount, or fixed thanks to
the strap (supplied) to wood studs, etc.
Trivet – (Fig. C) Platform with 3 legs used for down plumb alignment jobs
(such as framing and drywall installation).
Target – This target is used for enhancing the visibility of the laser dot.
Strap – This strap is used for mounting the universal base to any object 17,80
cm or smaller in diameter, in order to ensure the safety of the instrument, if
mounted on an unstable surface.
Carrying Case – The soft sided carrying case provides ample storage for the
SP5, target, universal mount, laser glasses (not supplied), manual and 1
spare set of batteries (not supplied). The case can be belt mounted or comes
with a carrying strap and handle for easy handling.
APPLICATIONS
PLUMB (Fig. D)
Place the SP5 on the floor or a fairly level sur-
face near the wall or the object to be plumbed.
Measure from the wall being plumbed to the
laser beam at two points. One point near the SP5
and another point farther away. (Note: the greater
the distance between the two points the greater the possible accuracy).
If the measurements of the two points are the same, then the surface is
plumb. If not, pull the wall in or push it out until the upper and lower meas-
urements are equal.
If you want to transfer a point from the floor to a point on the ceiling or vice-
versa, mount the SP5 on the universal mount.
Move the SP5 until the point you wish to transfer is centered on the laser
dot. Mark the other point as required.

SP5 • 5
SQUARE (Fig. E)
Place the SP5 on the floor or a fairly level sur-
face near the walls or the objects to be
squared. Measure from one wall to the laser
beam at two points. One point near the SP5
and at another point farther away. (Note: the
greater the distance between the two points
the greater the possible accuracy). Rotate the
SP5 until the two measurements are equal. Do not
move the SP5 until the rest of the measuring is com-
pleted. Now take two measurements from the other wall to that laser beam.
If the measurements of these two points are the same, then the walls are
square. If they are not equal, move the second wall until the two measure-
ments are equal.
You can also square vertical surfaces to horizontal
surfaces by using a plumb beam and a level
beam.
LEVEL (Fig. F)
Set the SP5 on a surface that is at a conven-
ient height for marking a level reference plane
on walls or other surfaces. Mark the laser dot’s
location. You can now turn the SP5 to move the
laser dot to another location and continue marking.
These marks can be connected together with a straight edge to give you a
level line.
Be careful not to change the height of the SP5 during the process or your
level line will vary in height.
For damages caused by usage other then intended, the user is responsible.

INSERTING/REPLACING THE BATTERIES
Remove the Universal Mount if mounted. Remove the battery cover from the
battery compartment located in the bottom of the instrument itself.
Insert the batteries or replace the used batteries with new ones.
Check for correct polarity.
Do not use rechargeable batteries!
Extreme temperatures and the use of batteries with different levels of charge
can reduce the operating time of the instrument.
Always use batteries with the same power rating and from the same manu-
facturer. For disposal of the used batteries, see the section “Environmental
protection”.
CALIBRATION (Fig. G)
The SP5 is a precision instrument and needs to be handled carefully. If the
SP5 is treated roughly or accidentally dropped, it may need to be re-cal-
ibrated. Check the SP5 on a regular basis, following these steps:
1. Put the SP5 on a stable, smooth surface and turn it on. Aim one of the
side beams (1) at a vertical surface that is at least 20 meters away from
the SP5. Mark the beam’s location on the wall (a).
2. Turn the SP5 180° so the other side beam is now aimed at the original
spot. Mark this new spot (b). If the two spots are at the same height,
then move on to step 4.
3. If the two spots are at different heights, mark a spot half way between
the two (c). Remove the two calibration hole covers by using a screw-
driver. Insert a hex screw (1,5 mm) into the side calibration hole (X) and
turn the adjusting screw until the laser dot is on the new mark you
made (c).
4. Turn the SP5 so that the front beam (2) is pointed at the mark you made.
If the laser dot is not lined up with the mark, insert the adjusting wrench
in the front calibration hole (Y) and turn the adjusting screw until the
laser dot is on the mark you made.

5. Start at step 1 again and re-check your adjustments. If the three laser
dots stay on the same mark, then calibration is complete.
6. Push on the calibration port covers.
Your SP5 is calibrated and ready to go.
SAFETY AND CERTIFICATIONS
Working safely with this instrument is possible only when the operating and
safety information are read completely and the instructions contained there-
in are strictly followed.
Do not remove the label on the side of the housing.
The use in combination with other optical instruments, manipulations or use
in other applications other than described here, can lead to dangerous laser
outputs.
Do not stare into the laser beam.
Do not direct the laser beam at other persons. Since the laser beam is of the
boundled type, check the beam path over a relatively long distance and take
the necessary precautions.
This laser complies with all applicable portions of title 21 of the Code of
Federal Regulations set by the Dept. of Health, Education, and
Welfare, the Food and Drug Administration, the Center for Devices, and the
Bureau of Radiological Health.
The SP5 has also been tested and complies with the CE certification require-
ments set forth in the EC regulations 89/336/EEC and EN 61000-6-1 (EN50082-
1), EN 61000-6-3 (EN50081-1) and IEC 60-825-1.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE
The SP5 is not waterproof. Do not allow the unit to get wet. Damage to inter-
nal circuits will result.
Do not leave the SP5 out in direct sunlight or expose it to high temperatures.
The housing and some internal parts are made of plastic and may become
deformed at high temperatures.
Do not store the SP5 in a cold environment. Moisture will form on interior
parts when warming up. The moisture could fog up laser windows and cause
corrosion of internal circuit boards.
When working in dusty locations, some dirt will collect on the laser
windows. Remove any moisture or dirt with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use
aggressive cleaning agents or solvents.
Store the SP5 in its case when not in use. Remove batteries before storage
of the instrument.

CARACTERISTIQUES (Fig. A)
Cinq diodes laser séparées créent cinq points très visibles
1. INTERRUPTEUR ON/OFF
Cet interrupteur remplit deux fonctions. Non seulement il permet d’allumer
ou d’éteindre le laser mais il bloque aussi le pendule interne. Lorsque l’inter-
rupteur se trouve en position OFF, un mécanisme bloque le pendule (diodes
laser) pour assurer une protection pendant le transport. Ce mécanisme
“Push & Slide” est conçu pour protéger le pendule et assurer sa durée de
vie sur le chantier.
INDICATION DE HORS-NIVEAU
Lorsque l’instrument est en dehors de son champ d’auto-nivelage, le laser
vous prévient en faisant clignoter rapidement les rayons laser. Dans ce cas
repositionnez le laser plus à niveau.
INDICATION DE BATTERIES A PLAT
Si les rayons laser clignotent quatre fois toutes les huit secondes, vos bat-
teries n’ont plus que 2 heures d’autonomie. La durée moyenne des trois bat-
teries est d’environ 15 heures d’emploi intermittent. C’est une bonne idée
que de mettre dans la mallette un groupe de batteries de rechange grâce à
sa capacité.
2. Accès vis de calibrage.
ACCESSOIRES
Base universelle (Fig. B)
1. Aimants pour fixer l’instrument à des objets métalliques.
2. Fissures pour utiliser la bande de fixage verticalement ou horizontalement.
3. Filets à 1/4”x 20 ou 5/8” x 11 pour trépieds
4. Vis à 1/4" x 20 pour l’SP5
