User Manual
The steep-grade adapter allows the internal leveling mechanism of the steep-
grade laser to level the laser at grades greater than 25%.
Offset Plate
The offset plate mounts to the steep-grade adapter and eliminates offset
errors when the laser is being used for steep-grade applications by
maintaining the laser’s rotor position over the laser’s mounting threads. This
adapter HAS to be used when performing a steep-grade axis alignment that
is perpendicular to the steep-grade axis.
How to Use the Laser System

Powering the Laser
Batteries
Depending on the laser system configuration that you purchase, the laser is
shipped with either rechargeable nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) or nickel/metal-
hydride (Ni-MH) batteries. Even if you buy a laser that uses Ni-Cd batteries,
you can upgrade to Ni-MH batteries. Alkaline batteries can also be used as a
backup; however, rechargeable batteries should be reinstalled in the laser as
soon as possible.
Installing/Removing the Batteries
CAUTION: The batteries should be removed when storing the laser more
than 30 days.
1. Remove the four screws from the battery housing. Remove the battery-
housing compartment.
2. Install/remove the batteries.
Note: When installing the batteries, be sure to note the positive (+) and
negative (-) diagram inside of the housing.
Note: The laser has reverse polarity protection. If the batteries are put in
wrong, no damage occurs to the laser but it does not work. Allow it one
minute to recover after the batteries have been installed correctly.
3. Put the battery-housing compartment in place and reinstall the four
screws.
