- Power On/Off: Press the Measure button to turn on the device. The laser will activate. The device automatically turns off after 120 seconds of inactivity.
- Unit Switching: Hold the UNITS button for 3 seconds to cycle through measurement units: Meters (M), Inches (In), and Feet (Ft).
- Measurement Reference Change: Press the UNITS button briefly to switch the measurement reference point (front or rear of the device).
- Single Distance Measurement:
- Press the Measure button once to activate the laser.
- Aim the laser at the target point.
- Press the Measure button again to take the measurement. The result will appear on the display.
- Continuous Measurement:
- Press the Area/Volume/Pythagoras button until the continuous measurement icon appears.
- Press the Measure button. The device will continuously measure and display the current distance, along with minimum and maximum values.
- Press the Measure button again to stop.
- Area Measurement:
- Press the Area/Volume/Pythagoras button until the area measurement icon appears.
- Take the first length measurement (e.g., length).
- Take the second length measurement (e.g., width). The device will automatically calculate and display the area.
- Volume Measurement:
- Press the Area/Volume/Pythagoras button until the volume measurement icon appears.
- Take three consecutive length measurements (e.g., length, width, height). The device will automatically calculate and display the volume.
- Pythagorean Measurement (2-Point & 3-Point):
- Press the Area/Volume/Pythagoras button to select the desired Pythagorean mode (2-point or 3-point).
- Follow the on-screen prompts to measure the required sides of the triangle. The device will calculate the unknown side.
- Calibration: The device supports calibration. Refer to the on-screen menu or specific instructions for detailed calibration steps if needed.

PREXISO 2-in-1 Laser Level Spirit Level
Product Overview and Components
The PREXISO 2-in-1 Laser Level Spirit Level combines traditional leveling with laser alignment capabilities. Identify its key features:
Image: The PREXISO 2-in-1 Laser Level Spirit Level with labels pointing to the laser outlets for line and point operation, ON/OFF switch, 0-degree vial, 90-degree vial, Verti-site window, hanging hole, magnetic base, battery compartment, and V-groove for pipe work.
- Laser Outlet (Line Operation): Emits a horizontal laser line.
- Laser Outlet (Point Operation): Emits a laser dot for alignment.
- ON/OFF Switch: Controls power for the laser functions.
- 0-Degree Vial: For horizontal leveling.
- 90-Degree Vial: For vertical leveling.
- Verti-site Window: Allows viewing of the vertical vial from the side.
- Hanging Hole: For storage or temporary mounting.
- Magnetic Base: Allows attachment to ferrous metal surfaces.
- Battery Compartment: Houses the AAA batteries.
- V-Groove: Designed for stable placement on pipes.
Battery Installation
The laser level requires 2 x 1.5V AAA alkaline batteries.
- Locate the battery compartment on the rear of the device.
- Open the battery compartment cover.
- Insert two AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
- Close the battery compartment cover securely.
Operating Instructions
The laser level provides both traditional bubble leveling and laser projection.

- Using the Spirit Level:
- Place the level on the surface to be checked.
- Observe the bubble in the 0-degree vial for horizontal alignment or the 90-degree vial for vertical alignment.
- Adjust the surface until the bubble is centered between the lines.
- The level features 2 LED-illuminated vials for easier reading in dark workspaces.
- Using the Point Laser:
- Slide the ON/OFF switch to activate the laser.
- A laser dot will project from the point laser outlet, useful for precise alignment over distances up to 100 feet.
- Using the Line Laser:
- Slide the ON/OFF switch to activate the laser.
- A horizontal laser line will project from the line laser outlet, useful for leveling over distances up to 30 feet.
- The line laser can also be used vertically by positioning the level accordingly, aided by the magnetic base.
- Magnetic Base and V-Groove:
- The strong magnetic base allows the level to be securely attached to ferrous metal surfaces for hands-free operation.
- The V-shaped groove on the measurement surface provides stability when measuring on pipes or rounded objects.

Maintenance
- Keep both devices clean and dry. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe surfaces. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Store the devices in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- For the laser measure, ensure it is charged regularly to maintain battery health, even if not in frequent use.
- For the laser level, remove batteries if the device will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
- Protect the laser outlets and display from scratches and impact.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Laser Measure does not turn on. | Low battery or discharged battery. | Charge the device using the USB cable. |
| Laser Measure shows inaccurate readings. | Measurement reference incorrect, dirty lens, or device needs calibration. | Check reference point. Clean the laser lens. Perform calibration if necessary. |
| Laser Level does not turn on. | Dead or incorrectly installed batteries. | Replace AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity. |
| Laser beam is weak or flickering. | Low battery (Laser Level). | Replace AAA batteries. |
