First Steps; Horizontal Alignment; Vertical Alignment - Futech Saturn 2 Mode D'emploi

First steps

•
Remove any protective lms where applied.
•
Open the battery compartment and insert batteries, please taking care to observe the indicated polarity.
•
Turn the transportation lock(3) to the "ON" position. The pendulum levelling mechanism is released, and the instrument is able to align itself on its
own. Make sure that the instrument is not on too much of a slope (within 3°). If the slope of the instrument should exceed 3°, the lasers will ash or
will go out automatically.
•
Turn the transportation lock(3) to the "lock" position. The pendulum will block, to set slopes.
• Use the adjustable base (21) or locate the tripod so that the air-bubble is within the instrument's levelling range. NB: the accuracy of the instrument
depends on the proper centralisation of the air-bubble. Max. 2 mm/10 m.

Horizontal alignment

•
After disengagement of the pendulum locking system, and provided the instrument is within its levelling range, the air-bubble is automatically at
the horizontal level.
•
The horizontal line may be activated or deactivated using the "H/V" button).
•
If possible, it is recommended that the horizontal line should be placed at working height. This will improve the work quality.
• NB: cross line lasers can only be used on tripods which are adjustable in height, such as cranked or telescopic tripods.
• Use the rotating base (21) to position the horizontal line.
• If the workplace is very brightly lit, e.g. out of doors, it may be necessary to use the laser receiver.

Vertical alignment

• After disengagement of the pendulum locking system, and provided the instrument is within its levelling range, the vertical laser lines can be
activated using button "H/V". These are mutually at right angles (90°).
• Automatic levelling means that the laser lines are perfectly vertical and at right angles to the horizontal laser line.
• Owing to the powerful laser diode and projection at an obtuse angle, the laser beam is visible behind the instrument and a laser cross appears on the
ceiling. The lower the instrument is located and the nearer it is to the wall, the longer the laser beam. E.g. during placing of the wall.
•
If the workplace is very brightly lit, e.g. out of doors, it may be necessary to use the laser receiver.
