If you switch off and transport the measuring tool, click it back into place on the rotating
mount (3)
Never leave the measuring tool unattended when switched on, and ensure the
u
measuring tool is switched off after use. Others may be blinded by the laser beam.
GLL 12‑22 G: If the maximum permitted operating temperature of 40 °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.
Automatic Levelling (see figures A−B)
Position the measuring tool on a level, firm support or attach it to a tripod (18).
Turn the measuring tool on the magnetic rotating mount (3) so that the outlet
aperture (1) is not obstructed.
After switching on, the automatic levelling function automatically compensates irregular-
ities within the self-levelling range of ±3.5°. The levelling is finished as soon as the laser
lines are permanently lit (i.e. no longer flashing) and do not move anymore.
If automatic levelling is not possible, e.g. because the surface on which the measuring
tool stands deviates by more than 3.5° from the horizontal plane, the laser lines will flash
continuously and quickly and the measuring tool will work without automatic levelling.
The laser lines remain switched on, but the two intersecting lines will no longer necessar-
ily be perpendicular to each other.
To work with automatic levelling again, set up the measuring tool so that it is horizontal
and wait for the self-levelling procedure to complete. As soon as the measuring tool is
within the self-levelling range of ±3.5° and is levelled in, the laser lines will light up con-
tinuously again.
In case of ground vibrations or position changes during operation, the measuring tool is
automatically levelled again. Upon re-levelling, check the position of the horizontal or
vertical laser line with regard to the reference points to avoid errors by moving the meas-
uring tool.

Influences on Accuracy
The largest influence is exerted by the ambient temperature. In particular, temperature
differences that occur from the ground upwards can refract the laser beam.
In order to minimise thermal influences resulting from heat rising from the floor, it is re-
commended that you use the measuring tool on a tripod. In addition, position the meas-
uring tool in the centre of the work surface, wherever this is possible.
