sensitivities, which include fine: 1.5 mm
(1/16 in.) and medium: 3 mm
(1/8 in.).
4. LEDs – show the position of the
receiver relative to the laser beam (above
grade, on grade, or below grade).
5. Front and Back Liquid Crystal Displays
(LCDs) – show the power, audio, elevation,
grade sensitivity and battery status.

Basic Operation
Applications
Batteries
4. To locate the plumb point over a wall corner or other point place the
Down Point Beam over the corner or mark. Use the Up Point to
determine the top track corner location.
General Leveling and Aligning
Installation/Removal
1. Place the laser on a flat surface. The laser must be level within its self-
leveling range.
CAUTION: The batteries should be removed when storing the laser more
than 30 days.
NOTE: If the floor track is already installed use the Universal Mount to
position the Down Point over the corner. Add the Universal Mount
Adapter if tall floor track is being used.
2. Adjust the position of the Line or Point Beams so they are at the desired
positions.
3. Mark the position of the wall, elevation, floor or ceiling.
1. Unlock the laser’s compensator by sliding the switch to the LEFT.
Installing and Plumbing a Wall
NOTE: For added mechanism protection always lock the laser when not in
use by sliding the switch to the RIGHT.
Installing a Ceiling
1. Place the laser so the Vertical Line
Beam is positioned over the desired
wall location (usually indicated by 2
floor marks).
1. Measure up from the floor (or other reference
mark) to the finished ceiling height.
2. Press the POWER button, the POWER LED illuminates GREEN. To
turn OFF the laser, PRESS & HOLD the POWER button for 3 seconds.
2. Install the first piece of wall molding.
3. Each time the POWER button is pressed the laser beams will cycle through
the following sequence: H LineV LineHV Lines5 PointsAll Beams
NOTE: If the floor track is already
installed the laser should be placed
on the Universal Mount or
Universal Mount Adapter so the
Vertical Line can be positioned
over the edge of the track.
3. Slide the ceiling plate (0002-3480) behind
the wall molding.
1. Release the battery door latch using your fingers, a coin, or a screwdriver.
Open the door.
4. When the unit is tilted out of its self-leveling range the laser beams will
blink 2 times per second.
4. Attach the Universal Mount (0002-3420)
and Universal Mount Adapter (0002-3430)
to the laser and magnetically attach it to
the ceiling plate so that the level beam is at
wall molding height. Install the rest of the
wall molding.
2. Install/remove the AA batteries. Insert the positive (+) end first to ease
installation.
5. The laser can be taken out of automatic self-leveling mode to perform
slope work by locking the laser’s compensator (slide the switch to the
RIGHT). In this mode the LOCK symbol LED will illuminate GREEN,
and the laser beams will flash 3 times every 30 seconds.
Note: When installing the batteries, be sure to note the positive (+) and
negative (–) diagrams molded on the battery housing.
2. Use the Vertical Line Beam to
position the top track.
6. To operate the laser with the HR250 receiver press the RECEIVER
button. The RECEIVER LED will illuminate GREEN.
3. Close the battery door and latch it shut.
5. Lower the laser 5 cm (2.0 in.) on the
ceiling plate so that the level beam is at the
horizontal target elevation.
Disposal
7. When the batteries need changed the POWER LED illuminates RED.
8. To turn OFF the laser, PRESS & HOLD the POWER button for 3 seconds.
Some areas have regulations regarding the disposal of batteries. Be sure to
dispose of discharged batteries properly.
6. Install the ceiling’s cross Ts and main Ts.
