Load new AA batteries in the FMHT77585 or FMHT77586 laser.
Turn the laser upside down.

below 5%.
• The laser may continue to operate for a short time while
the battery power continues to drain, but the laser lines
will quickly dim.
• After fresh batteries are installed and the laser is turned
ON again, the laser lines will return to full brightness.
Whenever the laser is not in use, slide the Power/Transport
Lock switch to the LEFT to the Locked/OFF position (Figure
) to save battery power.

Check the laser beams. The laser is designed to self-level.

If the laser is tilted so much that it cannot self-level (> 4°),
the laser beams will continually flash twice and
constantly on the keypad (Figure
If the laser beams flash, the laser is not level (or plumb) and

If ANY of the following statements are TRUE, 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.
A • Place the laser on a smooth, flat, stable surface that is level
in both directions.
• Mark the center of the laser beam.
Horizontal Line Accuracy - Level
Checking the level of the laser's horizontal line requires a flat
vertical surface at least 9m (30') wide.
Place a tripod at one end of the wall (Figure
