Product Features
- Dual Modules & 3 Projecting Modes: Equipped with two laser sources for enhanced accuracy. Projects bright horizontal, vertical, and cross lines, offering stable and precise leveling.
- Expansion Angle & Green Beam: Features a wide vertical beam spread, allowing projection of a vertical line from floor to ceiling. The green laser is significantly brighter than red lasers, providing maximum visibility up to 100 ft with high accuracy. This is a Class II laser product with a maximum laser output of less than 1mW.
- Type-C Charging & Universal Usage: Includes a built-in 2600 mAh rechargeable Lithium-ion battery. The rotatable 360° magnetic mounting base allows assembly with the 1/4"-20 threaded mount at the bottom of the tool. Suitable for diverse applications such as paving tiles, installing carpentry for doors, windows, or furniture, and hanging wallpaper. The PREXISO line laser is designed to be dustproof, wear-resistant, and resistant to cold and high temperatures, with a TPE soft rubber covering for shock resistance and comfortable grip.
- Self-Leveling & Manual Mode:
- In Self-Leveling Mode (switch to "unlocked"), the tool automatically levels itself within ±4° of horizontal. If the tilt exceeds 4 degrees, the lasers will blink to indicate an out-of-level condition.
- In Manual Mode (slide switch to "lock" and press button for 3 seconds), the self-leveling feature is disabled, allowing for projection of locked lines at various angles for specific alignment needs.
- Bonus Laser Level Tripod: The included tripod extends up to 37-1/2 inches, aiding in precise laser positioning. It has a closed height of 12-1/4 inches for easy storage and features a standard 1/4" quick-release plate for quick installation and removal of the laser level.

- Setting up the Tripod:
- Extend the tripod legs to the desired height. The tripod can expand up to 37-1/2 inches.
- Secure the leg adjustments using the adjustment buckles.
- Attach the laser level (with or without the magnetic base) to the tripod's 1/4" quick-release plate. Ensure it is securely fastened.
- Adjust the tripod's rotary lifting rocker and neck extension locking mechanism to fine-tune the laser level's position and height.
- Placement: Place the laser level on a stable, flat surface or mount it using the magnetic base on a metal surface. For optimal self-leveling, ensure the surface is within ±4° of horizontal.

Operating Modes
The PREXISO Laser Level offers two primary operating modes: Self-Leveling Mode and Manual Mode.
1. Self-Leveling Mode (Automatic)
This mode is ideal for applications requiring perfectly level or plumb lines, such as hanging pictures, installing shelves, or aligning tiles.
- Activation: Slide the main switch on the side of the device to the "unlocked" position (indicated by an open padlock icon).
- Automatic Leveling: The tool will automatically level itself within a ±4° range. The laser lines will stabilize once leveled.
- Out-of-Level Indication: If the device is placed on a surface that tilts more than 4 degrees, the laser lines will blink rapidly, indicating that it cannot self-level. Adjust the position of the device or the tripod until the lines stop blinking and become stable.
- Mode Selection: Press the power button (red circle with power symbol) to cycle through the available projection modes: horizontal line, vertical line, or cross lines (both horizontal and vertical).

2. Manual Mode (Locked)
This mode is used when you need to project lines at a specific angle that is not perfectly level or plumb, such as for staircase installations or decorative patterns.
- Activation: Slide the main switch on the side of the device to the "lock" position (indicated by a closed padlock icon).
- Line Projection: Press and hold the power button for 3 seconds to turn on the laser. The self-leveling feature will be disabled, allowing you to project lines at any desired angle.
- Mode Selection: Short press the power button to cycle through horizontal, vertical, or cross line projections.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Laser lines are blinking rapidly in Self-Leveling Mode. | The device is out of its self-leveling range (tilted more than ±4°). | Adjust the position of the laser level or the tripod until it is within the ±4° range. The lines will become stable. |
| Laser does not turn on. | Battery is low or depleted. | Charge the device using the Type-C charging cable. Ensure the charging indicator light is active. |
| Laser lines are dim or not visible. | Operating in bright light conditions or at maximum range. | Use the target plate to enhance visibility. For outdoor use, consider using a laser detector (not included). Ensure the laser apertures are clean. |
| Inaccurate measurements or lines. | Device may require recalibration or has been subjected to impact. | Perform a calibration check as per the full instruction manual (if available). If issues persist after impact, contact customer support. |
