3. The tolerance depends on the distance of the walls between which the inspection has been carried out This distance should be multiplied by 2 Hence if the instrument has an accuracy of 2 mm 10 m then in our example the calculation is 10 m distance x 2 20 m Tolerance is 4 mm 20 m Horizontal laser line 1 Place the instrument approximately 5 m from a wall 2 Switch on the instrument and let it selflevel 3 Mark the middle of the laser cross 4 Turn the horizontal laser line 2 5 m to the left or to the right 5 Note the tolerance between the marker and the position of the laser line 6 This should be 2 mm in our example Vertical laser line 1 Place the instrument approximately 5 m from a wall 2 Place a 2 m long plumbline against the wall 3 Switch on the instrument and let it self level 4 Place the vertical laser line on the plumb4ine 5 This should be 1 5 mm in our example NB If your instrument does not reach the required tolerance it should be returned to your service centre or to your reseller for service Repairs carried out by unauthorised personnel will automatically invalidate the guarantee Warranty This product is subject to the terms and conditions set out in the International Limited Warranty which you can download from the Agatec home page at www agatec com or collect from your Agatec distributor The foregoing warranty is exclusive and is in lieu of all other warranties
