Operating Modes
The CIGMAN CM-701 offers multiple operating modes to suit different applications.
1. Self-Leveling Mode
For precise leveling, slide the pendulum lock to the unlocked position. The device will automatically level itself within ±4°. If the device is outside this range, the laser lines will flash to indicate it cannot self-level. This mode is ideal for installing frames, tiles, cabinets, and general alignment where perfect horizontal or vertical lines are required.
2. Manual Mode
To activate manual mode, keep the pendulum lock in the locked position and long-press the power button. In this mode, you can project laser lines at any angle, which is useful for installing escalators, murals, chandeliers, or creating diagonal lines. The laser lines will flash periodically to remind you that it is not self-leveling.
3. Pulse Mode
For outdoor use or when working over longer distances (up to 50m), activate pulse mode by long-pressing the pulse button. This mode enhances the visibility and range of the laser lines, especially when used with a compatible laser receiver (not included). It is suitable for larger job sites or outdoor applications.
4. Laser Line Selection
The CM-701 features 12 ultra-bright laser lines, providing 3x360° full coverage. Use the H (Horizontal) and V (Vertical) buttons on the device or remote control to toggle specific laser lines on or off, allowing you to customize the projection based on your needs.
5. Remote Control & Brightness Adjustment
The included remote control allows for convenient adjustment of laser lines and brightness from a distance. Use the V1, H, and V2 buttons to select desired laser planes. The brightness adjustment button allows you to cycle through 4 gear brightness settings, which can extend battery life for longer projects.
Battery Information
The CIGMAN CM-701 is powered by a built-in 4000mAh rechargeable Li-ion battery, providing extended operation time. The Type-C charging port supports fast and versatile charging from various power sources.

- Handling: Handle the device with care. Avoid dropping it or subjecting it to strong impacts, as this can affect its calibration.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your CIGMAN Laser Level, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:
- Laser Lines Flashing: In self-leveling mode, flashing lines indicate the device is outside its self-leveling range (±4°). Adjust the position of the laser level until it is on a more level surface. In manual mode, flashing lines are normal and indicate it is not self-leveling.
- No Laser Lines: Ensure the device is powered on and the pendulum lock is in the correct position for the desired mode. Check the battery level and recharge if necessary.
- Weak Laser Lines: Adjust the brightness setting using the remote control or device buttons. Ensure the working environment is not excessively bright. For outdoor use, activate pulse mode and consider using a laser receiver.
- Inaccurate Lines: Ensure the device is on a stable surface and within its self-leveling range (if in self-leveling mode). Avoid strong vibrations during operation. If persistent, the device may require recalibration (refer to the full user manual for advanced calibration procedures or contact customer support).
