2.3. Specifications

3. Safety Requirements and Care

Follow all safety requirements! Handle the laser level with care, as it is an accurate instrument. Avoid shaking and vibrations; store the instrument and its accessories only in the carrying case.

In case of high humidity and low temperature, dry out the instrument and clean it after use. Do not store the instrument at temperatures below -20°C and above 50°C, as this may render it inoperable. Do not put the instrument into the carrying case if it or the case is wet, to avoid moisture condensation inside. Dry both the case and the instrument thoroughly.

Check instrument adjustment regularly. Keep the lens clean and dry. Use a soft cotton napkin for cleaning.

4. Operation

The CUBE 360 is a reliable and convenient instrument that will serve for many years.

1. Before use, remove the battery compartment cover. Insert three batteries into the battery compartment, observing correct polarity, then close the cover.
2. Set the compensator locking grip (5) to the ON position. Both laser beams will turn on. If the switch is ON, the power is on and the compensator is working. If the switch is in the intermediate (X) position, the power is on, but the compensation is locked (hand-mode); it will not warn if you issue a slope. If the switch is OFF, the instrument is off and the compensator is locked.
3. Press button 1 once to turn on the horizontal beam. Press button 1 again to turn on the vertical laser beam. Press button 1 a third time to turn on both horizontal and vertical beams.
4. Press button 2 once to activate outdoor mode. Press button 2 again to switch to indoor mode.

5. Application

This laser level generates a visible laser beam allowing for various measurements, including height measurement, calibration of horizontal and vertical planes, checking right angles, and verifying verticality of installations. It is used for indoor tasks such as setting zero marks, marking screeds, installing guides for panels, and tiling. It is also useful for marking during furniture, shelf, or mirror installation. The laser device can be used for outdoor work within its specified operating range.

6. Safety Precautions

Follow the safety instructions provided in the operator's manual.

• The laser class warning label is located on the battery compartment cover.
• Avoid direct exposure of the laser beam to the eyes. The laser beam can cause eye injury even from a distance.
• Do not aim the laser beam at people or animals.
• The laser plane should be set up above eye level.
• Use the instrument only for measuring tasks.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the instrument. Repairs must be carried out only by authorized workshops. Contact your local dealer for service.
• Do not remove safety labels or instructions.
• Keep the instrument away from children.
• Do not use the instrument in explosive environments.
• The instrument complies with laser emission standards.

7. Warranty

ADA INSTRUMENTS provides a warranty for this product to the original purchaser, covering defects in material and workmanship under normal use for a period of two (2) years from the date of purchase.

During the warranty period, upon proof of purchase, the product will be repaired or replaced (at the manufacturer's option) at no charge for parts or labor. For defects, please contact the dealer where the product was originally purchased. The warranty does not apply if the product has been misused, abused, or altered. Leakage of batteries, bending, or dropping the unit are presumed to be defects resulting from misuse or abuse.

8. Exceptions from Responsibility

Users are expected to follow the instructions in the operator's manual. Although all instruments are checked by the manufacturer, users should periodically verify the instrument's accuracy and performance.

The manufacturer and its representatives are not responsible for:

• Results from faulty or intentional usage or misuse, including direct, indirect, consequential damages, and loss of profits.
• Consequential damages or loss of profits due to disasters (earthquakes, storms, floods), fire, accidents, acts of third parties, or usage under unusual conditions.
• Damage or loss of profits due to data changes, data loss, business interruption, or using an unusable product.
• Damage or loss of profits caused by usage not explained in the user's manual.

Accuracy Checks

To check the accuracy of the line laser level (slope of plane):

Set up the instrument between two walls approximately 5m apart. Turn on the laser and mark the point of the cross laser line on the wall. Rotate the instrument by 180° and mark the point again. Then, set up the instrument 0.5-0.7m away from the wall and repeat the marking process. If the differences {a1-b2} and {b1-b2} are within the specified "accuracy" value, no calibration is needed. For example, if {a1-a2}=5 mm and {b1-b2}=7 mm, the instrument's error is {b1-b2}-{a1-a2}=2 mm. Compare this error with the standard error. If the accuracy does not match the claimed specifications, contact an authorized service center.

Another shows a closer setup (0.5-0.7m) with points a1 and b1 marked, and a third diagram illustrates the 5m setup with points a1, a2, b1, b2 and measurements like 'e' and 'm'.

To check level:

Choose a wall and set the laser 5m away. Turn on the laser; mark cross laser line point A. Find point M on the horizontal line approximately 2.5m away. Swivel the laser and mark cross laser line point B. The distance from B to A should be 5m. Measure the distance between M and the cross laser line.

To check plumb:

Choose a wall and set the laser 5m away. Hang a plumb bob (approx. 2.5m length) on the wall. Turn on the laser and align the vertical laser line with the plumb bob point. The line accuracy is within tolerance if the vertical line deviation (up or down) does not exceed half the specified accuracy (e.g., ±3mm/10m). If accuracy is not as claimed, contact an authorized service center.

Diagram Description: Illustrations for checking level and plumb accuracy. One shows a setup at 5m with points a1, a2, b1, b2 and a plumb bob. Another shows a 5m distance with a 2.5m segment marked 'e' and 'm', and points B, M, A.

Care and Cleaning

Handle the measuring instrument with care. Clean with a soft cloth after each use. If necessary, use a damp cloth with water. If the instrument is wet, dry it carefully. Pack it only when perfectly dry. Transport in the original container/case only.

Note: During transport, the On/Off compensator lock (5) must be set to the "OFF" position to prevent damage to the compensator.

Specific Reasons for Erroneous Measuring Results:

• Measurements through glass or plastic windows.
• Dirty laser emitting window.
• Instrument has been dropped or hit (check accuracy).
• Large temperature fluctuations: If the instrument is used in cold areas after being stored in warm areas (or vice versa), wait a few minutes before taking measurements.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC):

• It is possible that the laser level may interfere with other devices (e.g., navigation systems).
• The laser level may be affected by other devices (e.g., intensive electromagnetic radiation from industrial equipment or radio transmitters).

Laser Classification

This instrument is a Class 2 laser product according to DIN IEC 60825-1:2007, allowing its use without further safety precautions, provided standard safety measures are followed.
