4. Product Overview
The CM-S01 laser level features a robust design with multiple laser emitters for 360-degree coverage. It includes control buttons on the top panel for manual operation and a pendulum lock mechanism for transport and manual mode.
5. Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove the laser level and all accessories from the portable bag.
- Charging: Before first use, ensure the device is fully charged using the provided Type-C cable. Refer to the 'Battery & Charging' section for details.
- Placement: Place the laser level on a stable surface or mount it using the mini tripod base or magnetic L-base. Ensure the surface is as level as possible to assist the self-leveling function.
- Power On: Slide the pendulum lock switch to the unlocked position to power on the device and activate self-leveling mode.
6. Operating Modes
6.1 Self-Leveling Mode
When the pendulum is unlocked, the laser level will automatically self-level within a 4° range. If the device is outside this range, the laser lines will flash continuously to indicate it is out of level. Adjust the position of the device until the laser lines become stable.
6.2 Manual Mode
To activate manual mode, slide the pendulum lock switch to the locked position. In this mode, the laser lines are locked and can be projected at any desired angle. This is useful for tasks that require angled lines, such as installing handrails or decorative patterns.
6.3 Pulse Mode
Press the pulse mode button on the device or activate it via the CIGMAN APP to enter external pulse mode. This mode extends the laser's working range up to 164 feet (50 meters) when used with an optional laser receiver (e.g., CIGMAN CLD-100). Pulse mode is particularly useful for outdoor applications or in brightly lit environments where the laser lines might be difficult to see with the naked eye.
7. APP Control & Bluetooth
The CIGMAN CM-S01 can be controlled remotely via the CIGMAN smartphone application using Bluetooth technology. This allows for convenient adjustment of settings from a distance.
- Download App: Download the CIGMAN APP from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android).
- Enable Bluetooth: Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone.

8. Battery & Charging
The CM-S01 is equipped with an integrated 4000mAh rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery.
- Battery Life: The battery provides up to 12 hours of continuous operation at maximum light intensity and up to 56 hours at minimum intensity on a full charge.
- Charging: Use the provided Type-C cable to charge the device. Connect the cable to the Type-C port on the laser level and to a compatible USB power source.
- Charging Indicator: The device will indicate charging status, and the CIGMAN APP can display the current battery level.
9. Mounting Options
The CM-S01 offers flexible mounting options for various applications:
- Mini Tripod Base: Use the included mini tripod base for stable placement on flat surfaces.
- Magnetic "L" Base: The magnetic L-base allows for attachment to metal surfaces and offers 360° rotation for easy angle adjustment.
- Standard Tripod/Pole Mounting: The device features a 1/4"-20 thread, making it compatible with most standard tripods or telescopic poles.
10. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Clean the laser level with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Storage: When not in use, store the device in its portable bag in a dry, cool place. Ensure the pendulum lock is engaged during storage and transport to prevent damage.
- Battery Care: For long-term storage, charge the battery to approximately 50% every three months to maintain battery health.
11. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Laser lines are flashing | Device is out of its self-leveling range (>4°) | Place the device on a more level surface until the lines stabilize. |
| Laser does not turn on | Battery is depleted or pendulum is locked | Charge the battery. Ensure the pendulum lock switch is in the unlocked position. |
| Cannot connect to APP | Bluetooth is off or device is too far | Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone. Move closer to the laser level. Restart the app and device. |
| Laser lines are dim | Brightness setting is low or operating in bright conditions | Adjust brightness via the app or device buttons. Use pulse mode with a receiver for outdoor/bright conditions. |
