Skil 1960 Notice Originale page 7

- slide switch F to position 6 a
- if the automatic levelling function
is not possible, e.g. because the
surface on which the measuring tool
stands deviates by more than 4°
from the horizontal plane, the laser
lines flash and indicator E turns red
- if this is the case, set up the
measuring tool in a level position
and wait for the self-levelling to
take place
- as soon as the measuring tool is
once again within the self-levelling
range of ±4°, the laser lines light
up continuously and indicator E
turns off
- when not within the self-levelling
range of ±4°, working with automatic
levelling is not possible, because
it cannot be assured that the laser
lines run at a right angle to each
other
- in case of ground vibrations or
position changes during operation,
the measuring tool is automatically
levelled in again
- to avoid errors, check the position of
the horizontal and vertical laser line
with regard to the reference points
upon re-levelling
• Working without automatic levelling
- slide switch F to position 6 b
- push laser button C to turn on the
laser beam
- indicator E turns red continuously
in this mode
- when automatic levelling is switched
off, you can hold the measuring tool
freely in your hand or place it on an
inclined surface
APPLICATION ADVICE
• Always use the centre of the laser
line for marking (the width of the
laser line changes with the distance)
• Laser viewing glasses 1 (not
standard included)
- laser viewing glasses J 1 filter out
the ambient light
- this makes the light of the laser
appear brighter for the eyes
- do not use the laser viewing
glasses as safety goggles (the
laser viewing glasses are used
for improved visualisation of the
laser beam, but they do not protect
against laser radiation)
- do not use the laser viewing
glasses as sun glasses or in
traffic (the laser viewing glasses do
not afford complete UV protection
and reduce colour perception)
• Working with the tripod (not standard
included)
- tripod K 1 offers a stable, height-
adjustable measuring support
- place the measuring tool via tripod
mount G onto the 1/4" male thread
of the tripod and screw the locking
screw of the tripod tight
MAINTENANCE / SERVICE
• This tool is not intended for
professional use
• Protect the measuring tool against
moisture and direct sun light
• Do not subject the measuring
tool to extreme temperatures or
variations in temperature (the
accuracy of the measuring tool can
be impaired)
- as an example, do not leave it in
vehicles for long time
- allow the measuring tool to adjust
to the ambient temperature before
putting it into operation
• Avoid heavy impact to or falling
down of the measuring tool
- damage to the measuring tool can
impair its accuracy
- after heavy impact or shock,
compare the laser lines with
a known horizontal or vertical
reference line
• Push switch F 1 into locking
position 6 when transporting
the measuring tool (this locks the
levelling unit, which can be damaged
in case of intense movement)
• Keep the measuring tool clean at all
times
• Do not immerse the measuring tool in
water or other fluids
• Wipe off debris using a moist and
soft cloth
• Do not use any cleaning agents or
solvents
