3.1 Caratteristiche principali

  • 3 x 360° Laser Planes: One horizontal and two vertical planes provide 6 cross-point reference positions for level, align, plumb, and square applications.
  • Alta precisione: Sharp laser line with +/-1/16” at 33’ for best-in-class accuracy.
  • Extended Visibility: Green line visibility range up to 115’ and detectable up to 230' with a Makita Laser Detector (sold separately).
  • Tempo di esecuzione lungo: Up to 14 hours of continuous run time with a 12V max CXT 4.0Ah Battery (sold separately).
  • Regolazione fine: 360° rotating base with a fine vertical line adjustment knob for increased precision.
  • Durata: IP54 rating for dust and water resistance, with highly protected recessed laser windows.
  • Facilità d'uso: Simple two-button user interface.
  • Integrated Pendulum Lock: Enables slope incline applications and protects the laser diode during transport.

4. Impostazione

4.1 Installazione della batteria

  1. Ensure the laser is turned off and the pendulum lock is engaged.
  2. Aprire il coperchio del vano batterie.
  3. Insert a charged Makita 12V max CXT® Lithium-Ion battery (sold separately) into the compartment, ensuring it clicks into place.
  4. Chiudere saldamente il coperchio del vano batterie.

4.2 Initial Power-On and Self-Leveling

  1. Place the laser on a stable, level surface or mount it using the magnetic bracket or a tripod.
  2. Unlock the pendulum by sliding the lock switch. The laser will automatically begin self-leveling.
  3. Self-leveling line stability is typically achieved within 3 seconds. If the laser is outside its self-leveling range (up to 4 degrees of slope), the laser lines may flash or an indicator may light up. Adjust the laser's position until it self-levels.
  4. Press the power button to turn on the laser lines.

5. Istruzioni per l'uso

5.1 Activating Laser Planes

  • Press the power button once to activate the horizontal laser plane.
  • Press the button again to cycle through vertical planes or activate all three planes simultaneously.
  • The two-button interface allows for easy selection of desired laser configurations.
