Sthor green cross line laser (18003) is a compact and very easy-to-use measuring tool that projects bright green horizontal and vertical lines. These lines form a precise cross intersecting at a 90-degree angle, which makes it easier to align surfaces, determine angles, and transfer levels. The green laser beam offers up to four times better visibility to the eye compared to traditional red laser beams, improving work in bright conditions and over longer distances.

This cross line laser is equipped with an auto-leveling function that activates automatically when the device is switched on and within the leveling range (±3 degrees). If the device is tilted too much, the laser lines will flash, indicating inaccurate leveling, ensuring the continuous reliability of the projected lines. Auto-leveling can also be manually locked, allowing laser lines to be projected at a desired angle. The device operates on two AA batteries, and its compact design (60x50x70 mm) and light weight (0.17 kg) make it easily portable.

The technical features of the line laser include a working range of up to 10 meters, depending on ambient lighting conditions. The laser's measurement accuracy is ±3 mm / 10 m, which guarantees reliable results for general installation tasks. The device is designed to withstand operating conditions, and its IP22 rating provides protection against dripping water when the device is in an upright position. The device has a 1/4″ thread, allowing it to be easily attached to a tripod or other fixtures.

Intended Use:

• Furniture and Shelf Installation: Horizontal and vertical lines help align kitchen cabinets, shelving units, paintings, and other wall-mounted elements perfectly straight and at the correct height. The green beam is clearly visible, simplifying the installation process.
• Tiling and Flooring Installation: The horizontal line is projected above the floor surface, providing a precise reference level for installing floor tiles, laminates, or other floor coverings. The vertical line helps determine the starting line for tiling and ensures the straightness of seams across the room.
• Electrical and HVAC Installations: Alignments of pipes, cable trays, and outlets on walls and ceilings can be done quickly and consistently throughout the space. Laser lines show clear routes and installation heights, ensuring neat and uniform installations.
• Partition Wall and Frame Construction: The vertical line creates a straight line to the floor, ceiling, and wall, which speeds up the positioning of partition wall frames and ensures their verticality. The horizontal line facilitates level transfer from one room to another.
• Hanging Pictures and Other Decorative Elements: With a cross line laser, you can easily determine the perfect placement for pictures, mirrors, and other decorations, ensuring they are straight and at the same level with each other.

Sthor Green Cross Line Laser User Manual:

Before use, ensure that two new AA batteries are installed in the device. Open the battery compartment, insert the batteries with correct polarity, and carefully close the compartment. Place the cross line laser on a stable, as level as possible surface, or attach it to a suitable fixture (e.g., a tripod) using the device's threads. Ensure that the installation is firm and the device cannot move during use.

Switch on the device using the power switch. The device will start in auto-leveling mode and project laser lines. Wait a moment until the lines stop flashing, which indicates that auto-leveling is complete. After this, you can select the desired laser lines (horizontal, vertical, or both) using the device's buttons. If the device projects flashing lines, it is at too great an angle outside the auto-leveling range (±3 degrees). Manually adjust the device's position until it can level itself.

For transport, remember to switch off the device and lock the laser pendulum by moving the power switch to the "OFF" position. This locks the pendulum and protects it from shocks during transport, ensuring the device's longevity. Always store the device in the included storage bag.

Warnings:

• Laser radiation: Do not look directly into the laser beam or point it at the eyes of other people or animals. The laser beam can cause eye damage.
• Reflective surfaces: Beware of the laser beam reflecting off mirrors or other shiny surfaces, as a reflected beam can be as dangerous as a direct beam.
• Handling: A cross line laser is a precision measuring device. Handle it with care; avoid dropping, strong vibrations, and impacts that could damage the device's internal mechanism and impair measurement accuracy.
• Environmental conditions: Do not expose the device to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, moisture, or rain. Use and store the device within the temperature range specified in the technical data.
• IP22 Protection: The device is protected against dripping water when in an upright position. Do not expose the device to direct water spray or immerse it in water.
• Maintenance: Do not attempt to open or repair the device yourself. Device maintenance and repair should be left to an authorized service center.

Frequently Asked Questions, FAQ:

• Question: How far can the green laser line be seen?
  Answer: The Sthor cross line laser has a working range of approximately 10 meters. Visibility is significantly affected by ambient lighting conditions. In bright light, visibility is shorter than in dim light. However, the green beam is considerably more visible than the red one under similar conditions.
• Question: Can this laser be used with a tripod?
  Answer: Yes, the device has a standard 1/4″ thread on the bottom, which allows it to be attached to most camera tripods and construction site tripods.
• Question: How does the auto-leveling function work?
  Answer: Inside the device is a pendulum mechanism that automatically finds a horizontal level when the device is placed within a ±3 degree tilt range. If the device is tilted more, the laser lines will flash, indicating that it cannot level itself.
• Question: Can this laser create inclined lines?
  Answer: Yes, by locking the auto-leveling mechanism (see "manual mode" in the user manual), you can tilt the laser to your desired angle to project inclined lines. In this mode, the lines will flash regularly, indicating that auto-leveling is not in use.
• Question: What kind of batteries does this use?
  Answer: The device operates on two standard AA batteries. We recommend using high-quality alkaline batteries for the best performance and battery life.

Recycling Instructions:
