Turning The Laser On; Checking The Calibration - DeWalt DCE080RS Mode D'emploi

• If the laser is dropped or has suffered a sharp blow, have the
GB
calibration system checked by a qualified service center before
using the laser.

• Self-leveling mode is activated automatically and the laser unit
will self-level. Once the laser unit is level, the beam will rotate
clockwise once at 600RPM.
• 30 sec. after the last button press, HI Mode (Height of
Instrument, Anti-Drift) is activated automatically and the HI LED
(Figure ) will illuminate. (You can disable HI Mode by

will beep twice and the HI Mode LED will turn off. NOTE: when
HI Mode is disabled, the laser cannot detect any movement
after setup, so accuracy cannot be guaranteed.)

slope the laser in the direction of the X-Axis, as indicated by the
X mark on the top roll cage.
• In certain situations, it may be desirable to slope the laser in
the Y-axis. The direction of Slope Mode can be changed back
and forth between the Y-axis and the X-axis by pressing the

Checking the Calibration

Field calibration checks should be done frequently. This section
provides instructions for performing simple field calibration checks of
your D WALT Rotary Laser. Field calibration checks do not calibrate
e
the laser. That is, these checks do not correct errors in the leveling
or plumb capability of the laser. Instead, the checks indicate whether
or not the laser is providing a correct level and plumb line. These
checks cannot take the place of professional calibration performed
by a D WALT service center.
