only). The DCE0811G/R has two lines -a horizontal line and
side vertical line. Each laser line is powered on by pressing its
ON/OFF button on the keypad. The laser lines can be powered
one at a time or all at the same time. Pressing the ON/OFF
keys again turns the laser lines off. Slide the Pendulum Lock
switch to the OFF/Locked position when the laser is not in use.
If the pendulum lock switch is not placed in the lock position all
4 LEDs will continuously flash on the Battery Meter.
Using the Lasers
Out of LEVEL Range Indicator
The lasers are designed to self-level. If the laser has been tilted
so much that it cannot self-level (> 4° ), the laser beam will
flash. There are two flashing sequences associated with the out
of level condition: (i) between 4° and 10° the beams flash with
a constant blink cycle; (ii) at angles greater than 10° the beams
flash with a three blink cycle. When the beams flash THE
LASER IS NOT LEVEL (OR PLUMB) AND SHOULD NOT BE
USED FOR DETERMINING OR MARKING LEVEL OR PLUMB.
Try repositioning the laser on a more level surface.
Using the Pivot Bracket (See figure
WARNING:
Position the laser and/or wall mount on a stable
surface. Serious personal injury or damage to the
laser may result if the laser falls.:
The laser has a magnetic pivot bracket
attached to the unit. This bracket allows the unit to be mounted
to any upright surface made of steel or iron. Common examples
of suitable surfaces include steel framing studs, steel door
frames and structural steel beams. The bracket also has
a keyhole slot allowing the unit to be hung from a nail or
H
screw on any kind of surface.

The laser ceiling mount (if included) offers more mounting
L
options for the laser. The ceiling mount has a clamp
one end which can be fixed to a wall angle for acoustic ceiling
installation. At each end of the ceiling mount is a screw hole
, allowing the ceiling mount to be attached to any surface with
a nail or screw. Once the ceiling mount is secured, its steel plate
provides a surface to which the magnetic pivot bracket
be attached. The position of the laser can then be fine-tuned by
sliding the magnetic pivot bracket up or down on the wall mount.
Using the Lasers with Accessories
The lasers are equipped with 1/4" - 20 and 5/8" - 11
female threads on the bottom of the unit. This thread is to
accommodate current or future DeWALT accessories. Only use
DeWALT accessories specified for use with this product. Follow
the directions included with the accessory.
CAUTION:
The use of any other accessory not recommended for
use with this tool could be hazardous.
If you need any assistance in locating any accessory, please
contact your nearest DeWALT service center or go to
www.2helpU.com on the Internet.
Leveling the Lasers
As long as the laser is properly calibrated, the laser is 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 are required.
