Working Advice

The laser target plate (26) improves visibility of the laser beam in unfavourable conditions and at greater distances.

The reflective surface of the laser target plate (26) improves visibility of the laser line. The transparent surface enables the laser line to be seen from behind the laser target plate.

A tripod offers a stable, height-adjustable support surface for measuring. Place the measuring tool on the rotating platform (12) to assemble the measuring tool on a tripod.

Assembly on a 5/8" tripod: Place the rotating platform with the 5/8" tripod mount (9) on the thread of a commercially available 5/8" tripod (28) or a commercially available building tripod. Tighten the rotating platform using the locking screw of the tripod.

Assembly on a 1/4" tripod (see figure F): Screw the tripod adapter (20) into the 5/8" tripod mount (9) of the rotating platform. Place the tripod adapter with the 1/4" tripod mount on the thread of a 1/4" tripod (21) or a commercially available camera tripod. Tighten the tripod adapter using the locking screw of the tripod.

Roughly align the tripod before switching on the measuring tool.

Use the laser receiver (22) to improve detection of the laser lines in adverse lighting conditions (bright environment, direct sunlight) and over greater distances. When working with the laser receiver, switch on receiver mode see Receiver Mode.

The laser goggles filter out ambient light. This makes the light of the laser appear brighter to the eye.

  • Do not use the laser goggles (accessory) as protective goggles. The laser goggles make the laser beam easier to see; they do not protect you against laser radiation.
  • Do not use the laser goggles (accessory) as sunglasses or while driving. The laser goggles do not provide full UV protection and impair your ability to see colours.

Examples of possible applications for the measuring tool can be found on the graphics pages.
