Press the button on the rotating laser, on the PRA 30G laser receiver and on the PRA 90 automatic tripod. ◁ The devices are ready for use. 2.
1. Press the button on the rotating laser. ◁ The rotating laser levels itself and then projects a stationary downward-pointing laser beam. 2. Position the rotating laser so that the projected laser beam strikes reference point (A) exactly. Please note: The reference point is not a plumb point! 3. To shift the laser plane to the right or left, press the or button on the PRA 30G laser receiver. ◁ The rotating laser begins rotating after pressing one of the two direction arrow buttons. 5.
The rotating laser levels itself once the position has been reached. The symbol is displayed briefly. ▽ If automatic alignment cannot be completed successfully, short signal tones are emitted and the is displayed briefly. 5. Double-click the button on the PRA 30G laser receiver. ◁ During automatic alignment: Stops automatic alignment before completion. ◁ 5.
1. Position the rotating laser either at the upper edge or lower edge of the inclined plane. 2. Use the target sight on the head of the tool to align the rotating laser parallel to the inclined plane. 3. Press the button on the rotating laser and the PRA 30G laser receiver. ◁ The laser switches on, the beam begins to rotate and the “auto leveling” LED lights as soon as the tool has leveled itself. 4. Press the button on the rotating laser.
1. Position the rotating laser either at the upper edge or lower edge of the inclined plane. 2. Press the button on the rotating laser and the PRA 30G laser receiver. ◁ The laser switches on, the beam begins to rotate and the “auto leveling” LED lights as soon as the tool has leveled itself. 3. Press the button on the rotating laser. ◁ The inclined plane mode LED on the rotating laser lights constantly. ◁ The inclined plane mode symbol is shown on the PRA 30G laser receiver. 4.
5. Bring the laser receiver into the desired position. The rotating laser automatically concentrates the beam along a shortened line in the area of the laser receiver. The width of the scan line can be adjusted using menu on the PRA 30G. The narrower the scan line is set, the brighter it will appear. 6. After selecting the scan line function in the menu, the and symbols can be used to shift the laser line to the left or right.
◁ The devices are paired. ◁ The automatic tripod and the laser receiver switch themselves off. 2. Switch the devices on again. ◁ The rotating laser and the automatic tripod are shown in the display on the laser receiver. 6.4 Using the laser receiver to detect the laser beam 1. Press the button on the laser receiver. 2. Hold the laser receiver with the receiving window directly in the plane of the laser beam. 3.

• • Do not operate the cordless tool if signs of damage are found or if parts malfunction. Have the tool repaired by Hilti Service immediately. After cleaning and maintenance, fit all guards or protective devices and check that they function correctly. Cleaning the laser exit window ▶ Blow dust off the laser exit window. ▶ Do not touch the laser exit window with your fingers. Coarse cleaning materials can scratch the glass, impairing the accuracy of the device.
7.4 Checking the main and transverse horizontal axes 1. Set up the tripod approx. 20 m (66ft) from a wall and level the tripod head with the spirit level. 2. Mount the device tool on the tripod and use the visual sighting method (front and rear sights) to aim the tool at the wall. 3. Fig. a: Use the receiver to catch the laser beam and mark a point (point 1) on the wall. 4. Pivot the device clockwise through 90° about its own axis. In doing so, make sure that the height of the device does not change. 5.
7.5 Checking the vertical axis 1. Place the device in the vertical position on a floor that is as flat as possible, approx. 1 to 10 m (3 - 33 ft) from a wall. 2. Align the grips parallel with the wall. 3. Switch on the device and mark the reference point (R) on the floor. 4. With the aid of the receiver, mark point (A) at the base of the wall. 5. With the aid of the receiver, mark point (B) at a height of approx. 10 m (33 ft). 6.
Trouble or fault The tool doesn’t work. The battery runs down more quickly than usual. The battery doesn’t engage with an audible click. The tool or battery gets very hot. Serious error. All the LEDs on the rotating laser flash. Warning Pairing was unsuccessful. Pairing was unsuccessful. Possible cause The battery is not fully inserted. Action to be taken ▶ Low battery. ▶ The tool has a fault or error. ▶ Very low ambient temperature. ▶ The retaining lugs on the battery are dirty.
Trouble or fault Inclination warning. Possible cause The laser receiver is outside the automatic inclination range. The surveillance function is not possible or is interrupted. Action to be taken ▶ Set the inclination of the laser plane using the PRA 79 slope adapter. → page 17 ▶ Check the positions of the rotating laser and laser receiver and reposition if necessary. Remove obstacles from the path of the laser beam (laser plane). Then restart the surveillance function. ▶ Surveillance mode warning.
Battery disposal Improper disposal of batteries can result in health hazards from leaking gases or fluids. ▶ DO NOT send batteries through the mail! ▶ Cover the terminals with a non-conductive material (such as electrical tape) to prevent short circuiting. ▶ Dispose of your battery out of the reach of children. ▶ Dispose of the battery at your Hilti Store, or consult your local governmental garbage disposal or public health and safety resources for disposal instructions.
