– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Additional Safety Rules For Batteries
This tool is powered by one 9 volt battery.
WARNING: Batteries can explode, or leak, and can cause injury or fire. To reduce this
risk:
• Carefully follow all instructions and warnings on the battery label and package.
• Always insert batteries correctly with regard to polarity (+ and –), marked on the battery and
the equipment.
• Do not short battery terminals.
• Do not charge batteries.
• Remove dead batteries immediately and dispose of per local codes.
• Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
• Keep batteries out of reach of children.
• Remove batteries if the device will not be used for several months.
TOOL USE AND CARE

The detector gives both visual signals through the LCD display window (A) and audio signals
through the speaker (B) to indicate the location of the laser beam.
The D
WALT Digital Laser Detector can be used with or without the detector clamp. When used
E
with the clamp, the detector can be positioned on a grade rod, leveling pole, stud or post.
INTENDED USE
The D
WALT Digital Laser Detector helps in locating a laser beam emitted by the laser in bright
E
light conditions or over long distances. The detector can be used in both indoor and outdoor
situations where it is difficult to see the laser beam.
The detector is designed exclusively for use with the DW088 and DW089 line laser and other
compatible D

DO NOT use under wet conditions or in presence of flammable liquids or gases.
The digital laser detector is a professional laser accessory.
DO NOT let children come into contact with the attachment and laser. Supervision is required
when inexperienced operators use this laser.
ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power
source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or when making
repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
Batteries (Fig. 1)
The digital laser detector is powered by a 9-volt battery. To install the battery provided, lift up
on the battery compartment cover (C). Place the 9-volt battery in the compartment, aligning the
battery as shown on the embossed icon.
Detector Controls (Fig. 1)
The detector is controlled by the power button (E) and the volume button (F).
When the power button is pushed once, the detector is turned on. The top of the sensor window
shows the ON icon and the volume icon.
The D
WALT Digital Laser Detector also has an auto shut-off feature. If a laser beam does not
E
strike the beam detection window, or if no buttons are pressed, the detector will shut itself off
in about 5 minutes.
To turn off the audible signal push the button again; the volume icon will disappear.
The detector powers up in the narrow accuracy setting (icon appears in the lower left corner).
Press the accuracy button (G) once to change to wide accuracy setting (icon now appears in
the lower right corner).
Accuracy
The detector provides two accuracy settings, wide and narrow. In the wide setting, the detector
provides a larger tolerance for indicating that the detector is "on grade." In the narrow setting,
this tolerance is reduced for more accurate indication of "on grade."
For the most accurate results, start the work using the wide setting and finish in the narrow
setting.
Magnets (Fig. 1)
The magnets (H) allow the detector to be mounted to the metal tracks during the installation of
a suspended ceiling.
