Level Calibration Check (X-axis)
Position a tripod securely on the floor between two walls that are
1.
at least 15m apart. The exact location of the tripod is not critical.
Make sure that the top of the tripod is roughly level.
2.
• The laser will self-level only if the top of the tripod is within ±
5˚ of level.
• If the laser is set up too far out of level, it will beep when it
reaches the limit of its leveling range. No damage will be done
to the laser, but it will not operate in an "out of level" condition.
Attach a tripod adapter (Figure

adapter may be assembled to the bottom for level mode or to
the side for plumb mode.
Place the laser with the attached adapter on the tripod and
4.
screw the threaded knob on the tripod into the female thread on
the tripod adapter.
Position the laser unit with the tripod so that the laser's X-axis
5.
points directly toward one of the walls (Figure
Turn the laser unit on and allow it to self-level.

Turn the laser unit 180º so that the X-axis points directly toward
