Overview Ov e rv ie w The Makita SK106D/SK106GD is a self-levelling multifunctional laser. It combines the advantage of a cross-line laser and a point laser in one tool. It is a reliable precision laser for any kind of tasks like levelling, plumbing, transfering and setting out right angles. It supports you on job side with two crossing vertical and horizontal lines and five points (four points and one intersection point in front of the instrument) which are arranged precisely in 90° to each other.

Technical data Please note the following: l l l l Due to our continuing program of research and development, the specifications herein are subject to change without notice. Specifications may differ from country to country. The weight may differ depending on the attachment(s), including the battery cartridge. The lightest and heaviest combination, according to EPTAProcedure 01/2014, are shown in the table.
Instrument Set-up In s tru me n tS e t-u p Introduction The safety instructions (see Safety Instructions) and the user manual should be read through carefully before the product is used for the first time. Levelling lock Levelling unlocked In the unlocked position the instrument automatically levels itself within the specified inclination range. (See Technical data) Levelling locked Turn the levelling lock in order to transport or tilt the instrument beyond the self-levelling range.
Instrument Set-up Laser receiver Li-Ion battery To be able to detect the laser lines over long distances or in unfavourable lighting conditions, a laser receiver can be used. Installing or removing battery cartridge We recommend the Makita LDX1 laser receiver. CAUTION Always switch off the tool before installing or removing of the battery cartridge. CAUTION Hold the tool and the battery cartridge firmly when installing or removing battery cartridge.
Instrument Set-up Using the USB adapter (optional) Makita CXT batteries Indicating the remaining battery capacity Depending on the conditions of use and the ambient temperature, the indication may differ slightly from the actual capacity. Only for battery cartridges with the indicator Press the check button (2) on the battery cartridge to indicate the remaining battery capacity.

Accuracy Check Ac c u ra c y Ch e c k Check the accuracy of your instrument regularly and particularly before important measuring tasks. Check Levelling lock before checking the accuracy. Levelling Checking the accuracy of the levelling Set the instrument on a tripod half-way between two walls (A+B) that are approx. 5 m apart. Place the lock switch in the "Unlocked" position (see Levelling lock). Direct the instrument at wall A and switch on the instrument.
Accuracy Check Vertical and horizontal line Checking the accuracy of the horizontal line Checking the accuracy of the vertical line Place the lock switch in the "Unlocked" position (see Levelling lock). Position the instrument approx. 5 m away from the wall. Direct the instrument at the wall and switch on. Activate the laser line and mark the intersection point of laser crosshairs on the wall. Swivel the instrument to the right and then to the left.
Accuracy Check Vertical plumb points Checking the accuracy of the upper plumb point: Checking the accuracy of the lower plumb point: Place the lock switch in the "Unlocked" position (see Levelling lock). Set up the laser on its tripod to wall mount bracket near point A1 at a minimum distance of 1.5 m from point B1. The horizontal laser is aligned in direction 1. Mark the laser points A1 and B1 with a pin. Rotate the instrument by 180° so that it points in the opposite direction 2 to direction 1.
Accuracy Check Perpendicularity horizontal points Place lock switch in "Unlocked" position (see Levelling lock). Mark a reference point (P1) approx. 5m from the walls and position the lower plumb point exactly on it. Align the cross hair to the left wall and mark the intersection point (a1) approx. on the same hight like P1 to the wall. Shortly after mark the right-hand perpendicular beam (b1) on the front wall.
Care Ca re Never immerse the instrument in water. Wipe off dirt with a damp soft cloth. Never use aggressive cleaning agents or solvents. Treat the instrument with the same care that you would apply to binoculars or a camera. Dropping or violent shaking of the instrument may damage it. Check the instrument for any damage before using it. Check the levelling accuracy of the instrument regularly. To warranty the best precision and visibility please clean the optics of your instrument regularly.
Safety instructions Sa fe ty in s tru c tio n s The person responsible for the instrument must ensure that all users understand these directions and adhere to them. Areas of responsibility Responsibilities of the manufacturer of the original equipment: Permitted use 1. Projection of horizontal and vertical laser lines and laser points Prohibited use 1. Using the product without instruction 2.
Safety instructions Battery tool use and care 1. Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack. 2. Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire. 3.
Safety instructions CAUTION Only use genuine Makita batteries. Use of nongenuine Makita batteries, or batteries that have been altered, may result in the battery bursting causing fires, personal injury and damage. It will also void the Makita warranty for the Makita tool and charger. Tips for maintaining maximum battery life: 1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely discharged. Always stop tool operation and charge the battery cartridge when you notice less tool power.
Safety instructions Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) WARNING The instrument conforms to the most stringent requirements of the relevant standards and regulations. However, the possibility of causing interference in other instruments cannot be totally excluded. FCC statement (applicable in U.S.) This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital instrument, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules.
Safety instructions Laser classification WARNING Labelling Looking directly into the beam with optical aids (e.g. binoculars, telescopes) can be hazardous. CAUTION Looking into the laser beam may be hazardous to the eyes. Wavelength SK106D: 635 +/- 5 nm (red) / SK106GD: 525 +/- 5 nm (green) Maximum radiant output power for classification <1 mW Pulse duration The instrument produces visible laser beams, which are emitted from the instrument.
Optional accessories Op tio n a la c c e s s o rie s CAUTION These accessories or attachments are recommended for use with your Makita tool specified in this manual. The use of any other accessories or attachments might present a risk of injury to persons. Only use accessory or attachment for its stated purpose.
