Operation

Refer to the Assembly Drawing on Page 6.

Using the Horizontal and Vertical Vials (9 and 10).

The vials on the level can be read by observing the bubble within. If the bubble is centered in between the lines, then the Vial is level.

Using the level with the Laser.

1.Before each use, press the Calibration Button (7) and hold it for a few seconds until the display reads Zero. You may use a known level surface or another level to assist you with Zero calibration.

Each Button on the unit functions as listed below:

On/Off Button (4) - This button turns on and off the LCD (3).

Preset Angle Button (5) - Pressing and holding down this button will lock the digital reading in the display, making it easy to move the level to get a closer look at the reading.

Gradient Button (6) - This button translates degree reading into a percentage from

Zero to 100 percent. When the degree is within 0 to 45, the percentage will be the degree measured, divided by 45. When the degree is within the range between 45 and 90, then the percentage will be 90 minus the degree measured, divided by 45.

Hold/Display Button (8) - This button has two features. First, if you push the button for one second, it allows the Level to emit an audible beep when the level is either at zero or ninety degrees. Secondly, if you hold the button down for five seconds, it will light up the display.

Laser On/Off Button (12) - The operation is determined by the setting of the Slide

Switch (18). If the Slide Switch (18) is in the upper position, the upper button will project a vertical line and the lower button will project a horizontal line. When the Slide Switch (18) is in the lower position, the upper button will not project a laser beam, and the lower button will project a simple dot beam. See FIGURE 1 below.
