6.1 Powering On/Off
Slide the ON/OFF switch to the desired position to power the device on or off.
6.2 Self-Leveling Mode
- Slide the Laser Line Switch to the "II" position.
- The device will automatically self-level.
- If the device is tilted more than 4 degrees, the laser beams will flash, indicating it is outside its self-leveling range. Adjust the device's position until the beams stop flashing and become stable.
- Once stable (within ≤ 4°), the laser lines will provide accurate horizontal and vertical references.
6.3 Manual Mode
- Slide the Laser Line Switch to the "I" position.
- Press and hold the power button for 3 seconds to lock the laser lines.
- In Manual Mode, the laser lines can be projected at any angle, which is useful for tasks like installing handrails or decorative projects that require non-level lines.
