Using the Laser with the Wall Mount (Fig. E)
The DW0860 Laser Wall Mount offers more mounting options for the DW088 lasers. The wall mount has a clamp
which can be fixed to a wall angle for acoustic ceiling installation. At the other end of the wall mount is a screw hole
the wall mount to be attached to any surface with a nail or screw.
Once the wall mount is secured, its steel plate provides a surface to which the magnetic pivot bracket can be attached. The position
of the laser can then be fine-tuned by sliding the pivot bracket up or down on the wall mount.
Leveling the Lasers
As long as the lasers are properly calibrated, the lasers are self-leveling. Each laser is calibrated at the factory to find level as long as it
is positioned on a flat surface within average ± 4° of level. No manual adjustments must be made.

MAINTENANCE
To maintain the accuracy of your work, check the laser often to make sure it is properly calibrated. See Field Calibration Check.

Calibration checks and other maintenance repairs may be performed by D
•
When not in use, store the laser in the kit box provided. Do not store your laser at temperatures below -5 ˚F (-20 ˚C) or above
140 ˚F (60 ˚C).
•
Do not store your laser in the kit box if the laser is wet. The laser should be dried first with a soft dry cloth.
Cleaning
Exterior plastic parts may be cleaned with a damp cloth. Although these parts are solvent resistant, NEVER use solvents. Use a soft,
dry cloth to remove moisture from the tool before storage.
Field Calibration Check
Checking Accuracy – Horizontal Beam, Scan Direction (Fig. F)
Checking the horizontal scan calibration of the laser requires two walls at least 30' (9 m) apart. It is important to conduct a
calibration check using a distance no shorter than the distance of the applications for which the tool will be used.
1. Attach the laser to a wall using its pivot bracket. Make sure the laser is facing straight ahead.
2. Turn on the laser's horizontal beam and pivot the laser approximately
45˚ so that the right-most end of the laser line is striking the opposing
wall at a distance of at least 30' (9 m). Mark the center of the beam (a).
3. Pivot the laser approximately 90˚ to bring the left-most end of the laser
line around to the mark made in Step 2. Mark the center of the beam (b).
4. Measure the vertical distance between the marks.
•
If the measurement is greater than the values shown below, the laser
must be serviced at an authorized service center.
