Protection rating
A) The working range may be reduced by unfavourable environmental conditions (e.g. direct sunlight).
B) Only non-conductive deposits occur, whereby occasional temporary conductivity caused by condensation is expected.
The serial number (11) on the type plate is used to clearly identify your measuring tool.
Fitting
Inserting/Changing the batteries
It is recommended that you use alkaline manganese batter-
ies to operate the measuring tool.
Open the battery compartment cover (6) and insert the bat-
teries.
When inserting the batteries, ensure that the polarity is cor-
rect according to the illustration on the inside of the battery
compartment.
If the batteries become weak, the battery indicator (2) will
flash green. The laser lines will also light up for approx. 5 s
every 10 minutes. The measuring tool can still be operated
for approx. one hour after the first flash. If the batteries
drain completely, the laser lines will flash one more time just
before automatic shut-off.
Always replace all the batteries at the same time. Only use
batteries from the same manufacturer and which have the
same capacity.
Take the batteries out of the measuring tool when you
u
are not using it for a prolonged period of time. The bat-
teries can corrode and self-discharge during prolonged
storage.
Working with the RM1 rotating mount (see
figures A1–A3)
You can use the rotating mount (13) to rotate the measuring
tool 360° around a central, always visible plumb point. This
enables you to set up the laser lines precisely, without hav-
ing to change the position of the measuring tool.
Place the measuring tool with the guide groove (7) on the
guide rail (14) of the rotating mount (13) and slide the
measuring tool all the way onto the platform.
To disconnect the measuring tool, pull it off the rotating
mount in the opposite direction.
Rotating mount positioning options:
– Standing on a flat surface,
– Screwed to a vertical surface,
– On metal ceiling strips using the ceiling clip (17),
– On metallic surfaces using the magnets (16).

Operation
Start-up
Protect the measuring tool from moisture and direct
u
sunlight.
Do not expose the measuring tool to any extreme tem-
u
peratures or variations in temperature. For example,
do not leave it in a car for extended periods of time. In
case of large variations in temperature, allow the measur-
ing tool to adjust to the ambient temperature before put-
ting it into operation. The precision of the measuring tool
may be compromised if exposed to extreme temperat-
ures or variations in temperature.
Avoid substantial knocks to the measuring tool and
u
avoid dropping it. Always carry out an accuracy check
before continuing work if the measuring tool has been
subjected to severe external influences (see "Accuracy
Check of the Measuring Tool", page 20).
Switch the measuring tool off when transporting it.
u
The pendulum unit is locked when the tool is switched off,
as it can otherwise be damaged by big movements.
Switching On/Off
To switch on the measuring tool, slide the on/off switch (8)
to the " On" position (for working without automatic level-
ling) or to the " On" position (for working with automatic
levelling). As soon as it is switched on, the measuring tool
emits laser beams from the outlet apertures (1).
Do not direct the laser beam at persons or animals and
u
do not stare into the laser beam yourself (even from a
distance).
To switch off the measuring tool, slide the on/off switch (8)
to the "Off" position. The pendulum unit is locked when the
tool is switched off.
Never leave the measuring tool unattended when
u
switched on, and ensure the measuring tool is
switched off after use. Others may be blinded by the
laser beam.
If the maximum permitted operating temperature of 50 °C is
exceeded, the tool shuts down to protect the laser diode.
Once it has cooled down, the measuring tool is operational
again and can be switched back on.
