NOTE: Setup a Benchmark
During the work day, periodically check your initial set-up to ensure that the laser reference
has not moved.
Establish, at a suitable distance (furthest possible), a benchmark (reference) on a stable surface
(ie. tree, building). Periodically during the work day, check the benchmark to ensure that your
setup has not moved.
Operating Instructions for General Construction Applications
NOTE: A level plane of laser light is created by the rotating beam of the laser. The laser light can be
used to reference elevations with the use of a laser detector. (Fig. 4)
1.
Place the instrument on a flat, level surface such as a tripod. Setup the instrument in an
area where it can not be obstructed and is set at a convenient height.
2:
Press the (A) button. Allow the instrument to self-level.
3.
Setup a "Benchmark" .
4.
LM700, LM700G, LM700-4 & LM700-3 Only – Set the Variable Speed Rotation (page 11 ) to the
desired rotation speed of the laser head. Ideal speed for use with laser detector is 600 RPM.
5.
Take elevation readings using the plane of laser light as a reference.Follow the Detector
Operation Procedures in this manual.
Ceiling Grid Applications
1.
Attach the laser to the optional wallmount bracket. Be sure the control buttons are facing
outward. Tightening the locking screw will secure the instrument to the bracket.
2.
After installing the first piece of ceiling trim, attach the wallmount to it. Be sure the
wallmount is secure to the trim.
3.
Press the (A) button. Allow the instrument to self-level.
4.
Adjust the distance of the instrument from the grid, typically 1.5-inch (38mm) below the grid.
Loosen the adjustment screw and slide the instrument up/down on the wall mount. When
the desired height has been reached, tighten the adjustment screw to secure the instrument.
