DESCRIPTION cont.
3. Sound On/Off Button - Used to activate the beeper. When button is pushed, beeper
sounds at level (0
o
), 45
o
, and plumb (90
o
). To turn sound off, simply push button again.
4. Current Reading Hold Button - Push to hold the information on the current reading.
The level will hold nine different consecutive angle readings in its memory.
5. Memory Recall Button - Push button to recall the last 9 measurements that are
stored in the memory. They will read in order of the latest measurement entered
as “first”.
6. Zero Button - Absolute / relative angle conversion button for comparison
of two work surface angles. When the level is turned on, it is in absolute angle
mode. Take a measurement of the first work surface. The LCD screen indicates the
angle between the surface and true level. Press the zero button for the
relative angle mode and the level will set the current angle to zero. Move the
digital level to the second work surface, and the level will give the relative angle
between the first and second surfaces. To return to absolute angle again, turn power
button off and back on.
7. Conversion Button - By pushing this button you can convert angles to different
units. Push to change the display units from degrees ( ° ) to pitch (in / ft),
to percent slope (%). Pitch readings are in 1/8-inch/feet increments. Plus and
minus signs indicate that the pitch is slightly more (+) or less (-) than true level.
8. Laser Trac™ System - Shoots a bright 635-665 nanometer laser beam with a useful
visibility of up to 300-ft. indoors or outdoors.
9. Laser On Demand Button - Located on the right endcap of the level, powers
the laser on/off.
10. Laser Light Aperture - The laser beam is emitted from this opening,
which is on the left endcap of the level.
11. Integrated 10-inch Ruler- Located on the lower front surface of the level,
10 inches in increments of 1/16-inch, with first and last inch marked in
1/32-inch increments.
12. Encased Bubble Vials- The level or plumb of a surface can also be accurately
measured by positioning the bubble inside the vial in between the marks on the
vial's surface. The highly sensitive vial ensure the digital level has an accuracy of 0.029 °
13. Working Base with V-groove - The bottom of the level is the working base.
The working base should always be placed firmly on the working surface.
The working base is designed for flat surfaces and also features a v-shaped
groove for use on round objects like pipe.
14. Magnetic Bottom -Four magnets in the working base allow for secure contact
to metal, handy when working with steel studs or metal ductwork.
15. 1/4 -inch Tripod Threaded Hole - Allows level to be mounted to Craftsman
®
tripod 9-48278, sold separately.
16. Battery Compartment - Holds two “AAA” batteries to power Laser Trac™ system
and LCD display.
17. Endcaps - Ends cushioned to help protect level from damage.

Fig. 11
1. Adjust the tripod to true level, using the
bubble vial on the base of the tripod.
ALIGNMENT - TO USE LEVEL WITH TRIPOD (Figs. 10, 11 and 12)
This level can be used with a tripod 9-48278 (sold separately) to project a beam for level
up to 300-ft. away. This feature is perfect for home improvement projects such as aligning
pictures, chair rails and other wall fixtures, plumbing runs, and many other uses.

2. Adjust the height of the laser line
you want to project.
3. Screw the level to the tripod using the
1/4-in. threaded hole located in the
center of the working surface of the
level (see Fig. 10).
4. Make any final adjustments to tripod
and level to find the true level point.
This will be at 0° on the LCD display
screen and, if activated, the beeper
will beep.
