WARNING:
Batteries can explode, or leak, and can cause
injury or fire. To reduce this risk:
• Carefully follow all instructions and warnings on the battery
label and package and accompanying Battery Safety
Leaflet.
• Always insert batteries correctly with regard to polarity
(+ and –), marked on the battery and the equipment.
• Do not short battery terminals.
• Do not charge disposable batteries.
• Do not mix old and new batteries. Replace all of them at the
same time with new batteries of the same brand and type.
• Remove dead batteries immediately and dispose of per
local codes.
• Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
• Keep batteries out of reach of children.
• Remove batteries when the device is not in use
• Use only the charger specified for your rechargeable
battery pack.
Personal Safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a laser tool. Do not use tool while
tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
8
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Tool Use and Care
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
• Store idle laser tools out of the reach of children and do not
allow persons unfamiliar with the tool or these instructions to
operate the tool. Laser tools may be dangerous in the hands
of untrained users..
• Use only accessories that are recommended by the
.
6B
manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be
suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used
on another tool.
Service
• Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair
personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel could result in a risk of injury.
• When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement
parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of
this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of electric shock
or injury.

Operating Tips

• Use only new, high-quality, name brand AA batteries or
specified rechargeable DEWALT10.8V Li-Ion pack for best
results.
• Ensure batteries are in good working condition. If the low
battery red indicator light is flashing, the batteries need
replacement.
• To extend battery life, turn laser off when not working with or
marking the beam.
• To ensure the accuracy of your work, check to make sure
your laser is calibrated often. See Field Calibration Check.
• Before attempting to use the laser, make sure it is
positioned securely, on a smooth, flat surface.
• Always mark the center of the beam created by the laser.
• Extreme temperature changes may cause movement of
internal parts that can affect accuracy. Check your accuracy
often while working. See Field Calibration Check.
• If the laser has been dropped, check to make sure your
laser is still calibrated. See Field Calibration Check.
Low Battery Indication
The DCE089G, DCE089R, DCE0811G and DCE0811R lasers
are equipped with a battery gauge as shown in Figure 1B.
The battery gauge indicates remaining power with each LED
representing 25%. The bottom LED will illuminate and blink
indicating that the level is low (below 12.5%) and the batteries
need to be replaced. The laser may continue to operate for
a short time while the batteries continue to drain, but the
beam(s) will quickly dim. After fresh batteries are installed
and the laser is turned on again, the laser beam(s) will return
to full brightness and the battery indicator level will indicate
full capacity. (A flashing laser beam is not caused by low
batteries; see Out of Tilt Range Indicator.) If all 4 LED's on the
battery meter LED's continuously flash this does not indicate
a low battery; see "The Battery Meter LED's Flash" under
Troubleshooting.
Operation
To Turn the Lasers On and Off
(See Figure )
1
With the laser off, place it on a flat surface. Slide the Pendulum
B
Lock switch to the Unlocked/ON position. The DCE089G/R
C
model has three ON/OFF buttons on the keypad one for
D
a horizontal laser line , one for a side vertical laser line
F
and one for a front vertical laser line (DCE089G/R only).
The DCE0811G /R has two lines -a horizontal line and side
vertical line. Each laser line is powered on by pressing its ON/
OFF button on the keypad. The laser lines can be powered
one at a time or all at the same time. Pressing the ON/OFF
keys again turns the laser lines off. Slide the Pendulum Lock
switch to the OFF/Locked position when the laser is not in use.
If the pendulum lock switch is not placed in the lock position all
4 LED's will continuously flash on the Battery Meter.
Using the Lasers
Out of LEVEL Range Indicator
The lasers are designed to self-level. If the laser has been tilted
so much that it cannot self-level (> 4° ), the laser beam will
flash. There are two flashing sequences associated with the out
of level condition: (i) between 4° and 10° the beams flash with
a constant blink cycle; (ii) at angles greater than 10° the beams
flash with a three blink cycle. When the beams flash THE
LASER IS NOT LEVEL (OR PLUMB) AND SHOULD NOT BE
USED FOR DETERMINING OR MARKING LEVEL OR PLUMB.
Try repositioning the laser on a more level surface.
Using the Pivot Bracket (See figure )
2
WARNING:
Position the laser and/or wall mount on a stable
surface. Serious personal injury or damage to the
laser may result if the laser falls.:
G
The laser has a magnetic pivot bracket permanently attached
to the unit. This bracket allows the unit to be mounted to any
upright surface made of steel or iron. Common examples of
suitable surfaces include steel framing studs, steel door frames
and structural steel beams. The bracket also has a keyhole
slot H allowing the unit to be hung from a nail or screw on any
kind of surface.
Using the Laser with the CEILING Mount
5
(See Figure )
L
The laser ceiling mount (if included) offers more mounting
options for the laser. The ceiling mount has a clamp
one end which can be fixed to a wall angle for acoustic ceiling
installation. At each end of the ceiling mount is a screw hole
, allowing the ceiling mount to be attached to any surface with
a nail or screw. Once the ceiling mount is secured, its steel plate
provides a surface to which the magnetic pivot bracket
be attached. The position of the laser can then be fine-tuned by
sliding the magnetic pivot bracket up or down on the wall mount.
E
Using the Lasers with Accessories
The lasers are equipped with 1/4" - 20 and 5/8" - 11
female threads on the bottom of the unit. This thread is to
accommodate current or future DeWALT accessories. Only use
DeWALT accessories specified for use with this product. Follow
the directions included with the accessory.
CAUTION:
The use of any other accessory not recommended for
use with this tool could be hazardous.
If you need any assistance in locating any accessory, please
contact your nearest DeWALT service center or go to
www.dewalt.com on the Internet.
Leveling the Lasers
As long as the laser is properly calibrated, the laser is self-
leveling. Each laser is calibrated at the factory to find level as
long as it is positioned on a flat surface within average ± 4° of
level. No manual adjustments are required.
