Installing AA Batteries

Load new AA batteries in the STHT77502-1 or
STHT77592-1 laser.

• If the laser beams flash, the laser is not level
(or plumb) and should NOT BE USED for
determining or marking level or plumb. Try

continue with the instructions for Checking Laser
Accuracy BEFORE USING THE LASER for
a project.
• This is the first time you are using the laser
(in case the laser was exposed to extreme
temperatures).
• The laser has not been checked for accuracy
in a while.
• The laser may have been dropped.

Checking Laser Accuracy

The laser tools are sealed and calibrated at the factory.
It is recommended that you perform an accuracy
check prior to using the laser for the first time (in
case the laser was exposed to extreme temperatures)
and then regularly to ensure the accuracy of your
work. When performing any of the accuracy checks
listed in this manual, follow these guidelines:
• Use the largest area/distance possible, closest
to the operating distance. The greater the area/
distance, the easier to measure the accuracy of
the laser.
• Place the laser on a smooth, flat, stable surface
that is level in both directions.
• Mark the center of the laser beam.
Level Beam Accuracy
Checking the horizontal scan calibration of the laser
requires two walls 30' (9m) apart. It is important
to conduct a calibration check using a distance no
shorter than the distance of the applications for which
the tool will be used.
Place the laser on a tripod facing straight ahead
