2. Safety Instructions
WARNING: LASER RADIATION
- Do not stare into the laser beam. This is a Class II laser product with a maximum output of < 1mW.
- Do not remove or deface any product labels on the device.
- Avoid direct eye exposure to the laser beam.
- Do not operate the tool around children or allow children to operate the tool.
- Do not place the tool in a position that may cause anyone to stare at the laser beam, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
- Do not use on reflective surfaces such as shiny steel, glass, or polished metal, as the shiny surface could reflect the beam back at the operator.
- Always turn the laser tool off when not in use.
- Do not attempt to modify the performance of the laser device in any way. This may result in dangerous exposure to laser radiation.
- Use only accessories that have been designed for use with other laser tools.
- Exercise caution when operating outdoors, as laser visibility may be reduced.

5.2 Mounting Options
The PREXISO laser level offers multiple mounting solutions:
- Tripod Mounting: The laser level features a 1/4"-20 thread on its base, allowing it to be securely mounted onto the included tripod. The tripod can extend up to 37-1/2 inches and offers pan, tilt, and height adjustments.
- Magnetic Bracket: The included magnetic pivoting base allows the laser level to be affixed to metal surfaces. This bracket also features 1/4"-20 mount threads for tripod compatibility.
- Iron Plate: For non-magnetic surfaces, the iron plate can be screwed to a wall, providing a metal surface for the magnetic bracket to attach to.

6.1 Self-Leveling Mode
- Slide the side switch to the "ON" position to unlock the pendulum and activate self-leveling mode.
- The tool will automatically level itself if it is within ±4° of horizontal.
- If the surface tilt exceeds 4 degrees, the laser lines will blink as an alarm, indicating it is out of level.

6.2 Manual/Lock Mode
- Slide the side switch to the "OFF" position to lock the pendulum.
- Press and hold the power button on top for 3 seconds to turn on the laser in manual mode.
- In this mode, the self-leveling feature is disabled, allowing you to project lines at any desired angle.
- Short press the power button to switch between horizontal, vertical, or cross modes.

6.3 Switching Laser Lines
The PREXISO laser level features 3 x 360° full green laser layouts (one horizontal and two vertical). In either self-leveling or manual mode, short press the power button to cycle through the available laser line combinations:
- 1 x 360° Horizontal line
- 2 x 360° Vertical lines
- All 3 x 360° lines (cross mode)

6.4 Pulse Mode
The laser level features a pulse mode for use with an optional laser receiver (sold separately). In receiver mode, the laser lines flash at a very high frequency, making them detectable by the receiver, which is useful in bright conditions or over longer distances. When pulse mode is active, the laser lines may appear less visible to the human eye.
To activate/deactivate pulse mode, press the receiver mode button (G) on the keypad.
7. Applications

8. Maintenance
- Keep the laser level clean and free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the laser light aperture.
- Store the device in its portable bag in a cool, dry place when not in use.
- Regularly charge the lithium-ion battery to maintain its performance and lifespan.
- Do not immerse the device in water or other liquids.
9. Troubleshooting
- Laser lines blinking: If the laser lines are blinking rapidly in self-leveling mode, the device is tilted beyond its ±4° self-leveling range. Adjust the position of the laser level until the lines become solid.
- No laser lines: Ensure the battery is charged and properly inserted. Check that the side switch is in the "ON" position for self-leveling mode or that the power button has been held for 3 seconds for manual mode.
- Reduced visibility: In bright ambient light or outdoors, the visibility of the green laser lines may be reduced. Consider using pulse mode with an optional laser receiver for improved detection.
