Setup

1. Battery Installation

1. Locate the battery compartment on the laser level.
2. Open the compartment cover.
3. Insert the required batteries (typically AA or AAA, refer to the device markings) ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
4. Close the battery compartment cover securely.

2. Tripod Assembly and Laser Mounting

1. Extend the legs of the tripod to a stable position. Adjust the height as needed using the leg clamps and central column.
2. Attach the laser level to the tripod's mounting screw. The laser level has a standard 1/4-inch thread on its base for this purpose.
3. Alternatively, use the included mounting bracket to attach the laser level to various surfaces, such as studs or pipes. The bracket typically features a clamp or magnetic attachment.

Operating Instructions

1. Powering On and Self-Leveling

1. Place the laser level on a stable surface or mount it securely.
2. Slide the power switch to the "ON" position. The laser will emit a beam and begin its self-leveling process.
3. Wait for the laser lines to stabilize. If the device is outside its self-leveling range, the laser lines may blink or an indicator light may illuminate. Adjust the position of the laser level until the lines are steady.

2. Mode Selection

The Cubix laser level typically offers different modes for various applications:

• Horizontal Line Mode: Projects a single horizontal laser line.
• Vertical Line Mode: Projects a single vertical laser line.
• Cross Line Mode: Projects both horizontal and vertical lines simultaneously, forming a cross.

Press the mode button (usually indicated by a laser icon or "M") to cycle through the available modes.

3. Manual Mode (Slope Function)

Some models may feature a manual mode, allowing the laser to project lines at an angle without self-leveling. Consult your specific model's instructions for activating and using this feature, if available.

4. Powering Off

When finished, slide the power switch to the "OFF" position. This will lock the pendulum and protect the internal components during transport and storage.
