PITCH (Fig. 6)
The digital laser level can be used to measure the pitch of a roof. It measures the pitch 

in inches of rise per foot of run. Push the conversion button to change angle to pitch.  

The pitch will be read as inches per foot in 1/8-in. increments, with a + or a - sign to 

indicate if the pitch is above or below the desired measurement.  

POWER BUTTON AND LCD DISPLAY
Press the Power button to turn the LCD display screen on. When the screen first comes 

on, the temperature is displayed in Fahrenheit for about 2 seconds, to indicate if level is 

being used in optimum operating temperature range. The current angle of the level is 

then displayed, and a picture of that angle is shown either above or below the line for 

true level (see Fig. 2). An arrow on the display indicates if the level has to be moved up 

or down. True level is reached when the two lines are together and the angle shows 0o 

(see Fig. 3). Turn off by pressing and holding the button in for about 2 seconds. If not 

used for 5 minutes the level automatically turns off. The LCD display is large and easy 

to read. When the level is turned upside down, the LCD screen senses and changes 

to read correctly in the inverted position.

TO USE THE LEVEL FOR HORIZONTAL AND PLUMB MEASUREMENTS 
Horizontal and Plumb measurements can use both the bubble vial and the 

LCD readout features. 

HORIZONTAL

Use the level on horizontal surfaces to true them up. The level's bubble vials will show 

when you have the surface level. The bubbles will be exactly in between the marks 

on the vial. 

Once the Power button is turned on, lay the level on the surface you want to level. 

The LCD display will show the surface you are measuring as a line either above 

or below the true level line, and the degree to which the surface is off, with 

an arrow showing whether the surface should be raised or lowered in order

to be leveled.

The LCD display also gives the degree to which 

the surface is off. To level, move the surface 

with the level on it until the two lines on the 

readout match and the readout says 0o 

for the angle (Fig. 3).  If the beeper is activated, 

the beeper will sound when the level is at level.

PLUMB (Fig. 5)
To find the plumb of a work surface, lay the digital 

level against the vertical surface, with the plumb 

bubble vial at the top. The surface will be at true plumb 

when the bubble is positioned exactly between the 

marks on the vial. 

ANGLE (Fig. 7 )
The digital laser level measures any angle in degrees with up to 0.1o accuracy. 

This can be used to find the necessary angle for many surfaces, and when 

the conversion button is pushed to display angle, will tell you the angle and which way

it is off of true level.  If the beeper button is turned on, the level will beep at 0o angle.

The LCD display shows the surface with the level on it as a line, and true plumb as 

another line either to the left or right of the line for plumb, and the degree to with the 

surface is off, with an arrow showing whether to move the surface to the left 

or right. If the beeper button is on, the level will beep when true plumb or 90o is reached.
