CAUTION:
Always use a ceiling wire hanger or equivalent material,
in addition to the clamp locking knob, to help secure the
laser level while mounting it to a wall. Thread the wire
through the handle of the laser level. DO NOT thread
the wire through the protective metal cage. Additionally,
screws may be used to fasten the bracket directly to the
wall as a backup. Screw holes (Figure
at the top of the bracket.

Construction Grade Rod
DANGER:
NEVER attempt to use a grade rod in a storm or near
overhanging electric wires. Death or serious personal injury
will occur.
Some laser kits include a grade rod. The D
marked with measurement scales on both sides and is constructed in
telescoping sections. A spring-loaded button actuates a lock to hold
the grade rod at various lengths.
The front of the grade rod has the measurement scale starting at the
bottom. Use this for measuring from the ground up when grading or
leveling jobs.

e
The back of the grade rod is designed to measure the height of
ceilings, joists, etc. Fully extend the top section of the grade rod until
the button locks into the previous section. Extend that section either
until it locks into the adjacent section or until the grade rod touches
the ceiling or joist. The height is read where the last extended section
exits the previous lower section (Figure
Target Card
Some laser kits include a Laser Target Card (Figure
locating and marking the laser beam. The target card enhances the
visibility of the laser beam as the beam crosses over the card. The
card is marked with standard and metric scales. The laser beam
passes through the red plastic and reflects off of the reflective tape
on the reverse side. The magnet at the top of the card is designed to
hold the target card to ceiling track or steel studs to determine plumb
and level positions. For best performance when using the Target
Card, the D
WALT logo should be facing you.

Laser Enhancement Glasses
Some laser kits include Laser En hancement Glasses (Figure
These glasses improve the visibility of the laser beam under bright
light conditions or over long distances when the laser is used for
interior applications. These glasses are not required to operate the
laser.
CAUTION:
These glasses are not ANSI approved safety glasses and
should not be used while operating other tools. These
glasses do not keep the laser beam from entering your
eyes.
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of serious injury, never stare directly into
the laser beam with or without these glasses.
