User manual MAKITA SKR301

[. . . ] This way, the beam will rotate even if the instrument is not leveled (necessary when working on inclined planes). This feature stops the laser automatically if the laser is jarred or moved, preventing inaccurate readings. Alert feature is available 30 seconds after the instrument has self-leveled. The red light above the Tilt key will blink when operating in this mode. [. . . ] Both LEDs (19) and (21) will blink, indicating that you are in manual mode and that you can set slope in Y axis. If electricity is available on the job site, simply plug in the charger and keep on working. You can also remove the battery pack to charge it, and replace with the alkaline battery compartment to keep on working. For optimum life of the battery, it is recommended to only charge the battery after it has been fully discharged. To install alkaline batteries in your SKR301 laser, unscrew the battery cap located at the bottom of the instrument. Insert two alkaline batteries (D or LR20) in the pack, matching the polarity (“+” or “–”) as indicated at the bottom of the pack. When battery power is low, the laser head will stop rotating, and the low battery light (23) will come on. Checking and adjusting your SKR301 THIS CHAPTER IS VERY IMPORTA N T: Here are a few simple instructions to check your SKR301 for calibration. Remember that the laser is a precision instrument and that it is important that you keep it calibrated and in proper condition. The accuracy of your work is completely your responsibility and you should regularly check your instrument especially prior to important jobs. Before any checking on calibration ensure laser is in point mode when rotation stopped. If the laser needs to be calibrated, follow the instructions or take it to a service centre. If you have not moved the laser, use the X marks made in Steps 3 and 4 of 3. With X 2 facing the marks, bring the laser beam up or down to the centre mark by using (16) or (17) on the laser keypad or (2) or (3) on the detector or remote. The Y LED will blink rapidly, indicating that the laser is ready to be calibrated in the axis. Bring the laser beam up or down to that centre spot by using (16) or (17) on the laser keypad or (2) or (3) on the detector ro remote. Saving the calibration The laser is now calibrated in the X and Y axis. press (14) on keypad or (5) on detector or remote to save the calibration data. If you don't wish to save the calibration, press the On/Off key (24) on the laser. After it’s level, stop the rotation so that the beam is a point. [. . . ] 2 Grade mount Adjustable grade mount is used to lay out inclined planes, such as cathedral ceilings. You can also use a tripod with an elevating column to adjust the height of the laser. 4 Other accessories Universal mount • Laser-enhancing glasses improve the visibility of the laser beam in bright light conditions. €¢ CB60 red magnetic target improves the visibility of the laser beam in bright conditions.
