the laser to the surface that the mark is
on (this distance is L). L must be greater
than 12.5 feet (3,8 m).
4. Calculate the acceptable misalignment:
• in inches by multiplying L (in feet) by
0.005
• in millimeters by multiplying L (in me-
ters) by 0.417
5. Rotate the laser 180° clockwise by swivel-
ing the laser on its base (do not move the
base). Make sure that the down beam is
positioned on the reference point. Mark
the up beam location as position B.
6. Rotate the laser 90° clockwise by swivel-
ing the laser on its base (do not move the
base). Make sure that the down beam is
positioned on the reference point. Mark
the up beam location as position C.
7. Rotate the laser 180° clockwise by swivel-
ing the laser on its base (do not move the
base). Make sure that the down beam is
positioned on the reference point. Mark
the up beam location as position D.
8. Measure the distance between points A
and B and between points C and D. If the
distance between the points is greater
than acceptable misalignment calculat-
ed in step 4, have the laser serviced. This
cannot be field calibrated.

Checking the Horizontal Beams
1. As shown in Figure 9, squarely set up the
laser on the tripod or flat surface 50 ft.
(15,2 m) from a wall.
2. Turn the laser ON.
3. Aim the front beam at the wall. Mark the
front beam location as position A.
4. Rotate the laser 90° by swiveling the la-
ser on its base (do not move the base)
to point the left laser beam at the wall.
Mark the left beam location as position
B.
5. Rotate the laser 180° by swiveling the
laser on its base (do not move the base)
to point the right laser beam at the wall.
Mark the right beam location as position
C.
6. Points A, B and C should all fall in a ver-
tical line. Vertically there should be no
more than 0.125" (3,2 mm) between the
highest and lowest points. If the mea-
surement exceeds 0.125" (3,2 mm), have
the laser serviced. This cannot be field
calibrated.
