Preparation Inserting/Replacing the Battery Alkali-manganese batteries are recommended for the measuring tool. – Fold open the battery lid 7 and insert the batteries. When inserting, pay attention to the correct polarity according to the representation on the inside of the battery compartment. If the batteries become weak, the battery capacity indicator 3 will flash green. The laser lines will also flash every 10 mins for approx. 5 s. The measuring tool can be operated for approx.
•To attach the laser tool, screw the 1/4”-20 mount 13 into the tool and tighten. Turn the knob and tool together as necessary to properly position the laser line or lines. •To adjust the height of the laser lines, adjust the height using the adjustment knob on the ceiling grid clip 18 of the BM 3 17. Tip: It is recommended to clean the back of the L-bracket 16 before mounting via the magnets to make sure you have the optimal magnetic hold of the tool on the mounting surface.
Switching On and Off To save energy, only switch the measuring tool on when you are using it. Do not leave the switched-on measuring tool unattended and switch the measuring tool off after use. Other persons could be blinded by the laser beam. – To switch on the measuring tool, slide the On/Off switch 2 to position “ ” (for working without automatic leveling) or to position ” (for working with automatic leveling).
Deactivating the Automatic Shut-off: – To deactivate automatic shut-off, hold down button 6 for at least 3 s with the measuring tool switched on. When automatic shut-off is deactivated, the laser lines will flash briefly as confirmation. Note: When the operating temperature exceeds 113° F (+ 45° C), the automatic shut-off can no longer be deactivated. Activating the Automatic Shut-off: – To activate the automatic shut-off, switch the measuring tool off and then on again.

Automatic Leveling Working with Automatic Leveling (see figures B1–E1) – Position the measuring tool on a level, firm support or attach it to the rotating mount 19 and 20. – For work with automatic leveling, slide the On/Off switch 2 to position “ ”. After switching on, the leveling function automatically compensates irregularities within the self-leveling range of ±4°. The measuring tool is levelled in as soon as the laser lines no longer flash.
In addition to external influences, device-specific influences (e.g. falls or heavy impacts) can also lead to deviations. For this reason, check the leveling accuracy each time before beginning work. First, check both the height as well as the leveling accuracy of the horizontal laser line, then the leveling accuracy of the vertical laser line. Should the measuring tool exceed the maximum deviation during one of the tests, please have it repaired by a Bosch after-sales service.
A B 180° – Without turning the measuring tool, position it close to wall B. Switch the measuring tool on and allow it to level in. – Align the height of the measuring tool (using a tripod or by underlaying, if required) in such a manner that the cross point of the laser lines is projected against the previously marked point II on the wall B. A B – Without changing the height, turn around the measuring tool by 180°.
A 180° B d – The difference d of both marked points I and III on wall A indicates the actual height deviation of the measuring tool. The maximum permitted deviation dmax can be calculated as follows: dmax = double the distance between the walls x 0.0118 in (0.3 mm) Example: If the distance between the walls is 16 ft (5 m), the maximum deviation is dmax = 2 x 16 ft x 0.0118 in = 0.118 in (2 x 5m x 0.3 mm/m = 3mm). The marks must therefore be maximum 0.118 in (3 mm) apart.
A 16 5 ft ) (5 ) m 8 .5 m 2 ft ( B – Set up the measuring tool 16 ft (5 m) away turned by 180° and allow it to level in. – Align the height of the measuring tool (using a tripod or by underlaying, if required) in such a manner that the center of the laser line is projected exactly against the previously marked point II on wall B. – Mark the center of the laser line as point III (vertically above or below point I) on the wall A.
A d 16 ) ft ( 5m .m 5m ) (2 t,5 82f B – The difference d of both marked points I and III on wall A indicates the actual deviation of the measuring tool from the level plane. The maximum permitted deviation dmax can be calculated as follows: dmax = double the distance between the walls x 0.0118 in (0.3 mm) Example: If the distance between the walls is 16 ft (5 m), the maximum deviation is dmax = 2 x 16 ft x 0.0118 in = 0.118 in (2 x 5m x 0.3 mm/m = 3mm). The marks must therefore be maximum 0.
8 ft (2 .5 m ) 8 ft (2 .5 m ) – Mark the center of the vertical laser line at the floor of the door opening (point I), at a distance of 16 ft (5 m) beyond the other side of the door opening (point II) and at the upper edge of the door opening (point III). – Position the measuring tool on the other side of the door opening directly behind point II. Allow the measuring tool to level in and align the vertical laser line in such a manner that its center runs exactly through points I and II.
d 7 ft (2 m) – The difference d between point III and the center of the laser line at the upper edge of the door opening results in the actual deviation of the measuring tool from the vertical plane. – Measure the height of the door opening. The maximum permitted deviation dmax is calculated as follows: dmax = double height of the door opening x 0.0118 in (0.3 mm/m) Example: With a door opening height of 7 ft (2 m), the maximum permitted deviation is dmax = 2 x 7 ft x 0.0118 in = 0.0472 in (2 x 2 m x 0.
Working Advice • For marking, always use only the center of the laser line. The width of the laser line changes with distance. Working with the Tripod (Accessory) A tripod offers a stable, height-adjustable measuring support. Position the measuring tool with the 1/4” tripod mount 10 onto the thread of the tripod or a commercially available camera tripod. For fastening to a commercially available construction tripod, use the 5/8” tripod mount 11. Tighten the measuring tool with the tripod mounting stud.
Laser Viewing Glasses (Accessory) The laser viewing glasses filter out the ambient light. This makes the green light of the laser appear brighter to the eyes. Work Examples (see figures B2–F2, H and I) Application examples for the measuring tool can be found on the graphics pages. Always position the measuring tool close to the surface or edge you want to check and allow it to level in prior to each measurement.
Maintenance and Service Store and transport the tool only in the supplied protective case. Keep the tool clean at all times. Do not immerse the tool into water or other fluids. Wipe off debris using a moist and soft cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents or solvents. Regularly clean the surfaces of the laser beam outlets in particular, and pay attention to any fluff of fibers.
