Overview Ov e rv ie w The Makita SK700D/SK700GD is a self-levelling multifunctional laser. It combines the advantage of three 360° line lasers in one tool and a fine adjustment knob. It is a reliable precision laser for any kind of tasks like precise framing, levelling, plumbing, transfering and setting out right angles. It supports you on the job site with six intersection points (front, back, right, left, up, down) 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 CAUTION We recommend the Makita LDX1 laser receiver. 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 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.
Operations Op e ra tio n s Switching ON/OFF Makita SK700D/SK700GD Auto power-off Place the lock switch to the unlocked position (see Levelling lock). To activate auto poweroff after 30 min operation press and hold the ON button at start for 5 sec. The status LED blinks 3 times in green colour. To deactivate it again repeat the described steps until the status LED blinks 3 times in red colour.
Operations Functions with unlocked levelling Laser on/Vertical and horizontal mode All on mode* Layout mode Horizontal mode Vertical side mode Vertical front mode Check if self-levelling is required and correspondingly activated. (See Levelling lock for details) Makita SK700D/SK700GD * In very hot environments it can be that maximum two lines work simultaneously (see Message Codes).
Operations Functions with locked levelling Switching brightness selection Activate levelling lock and press ON/OFF button for tilt applications. Saving operating mode Place the lock switch to the unlocked position (see Levelling lock). To save the favourite operating mode, press and hold the ON/OFF button and brightness button during operation for 2 sec. The status LED blinks 3 times in green colour. The instrument has stored the line beam mode and brightness to the memory and as the new default mode.
How to use the adapters and wall mount Ho wto u s e th e a d a p te rs a n d wa lmo u n t Setup instrument to L-adapter Alignment of vertical laser lines Swing out both supports to assure stable stand. Mount the instrument with the screw on the Ladapter surely. CAUTION Turn the instrument 360° to adjust the vertical line. Use the fine adjustment knob and turn the instrument around the vertical intersection / plumb point within ± 10°.
How to use the adapters and wall mount Wall mount (optional accessory) Different fixing applications Alignment of horizontal laser lines Turn the adjustment knob of the wall mount to fine adjust the horizontal line to the desired reference level. CAUTION Make sure that it is fixed well by screw or magnet to prevent it from falling down.

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/intersection points Checking the accuracy of the upper plumb intersection point: Checking the accuracy of the lower plumb intersection point: Place the lock switch in the "Unlocked" position (see Levelling lock). Set up the laser on its tripod or 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.
Accuracy Check Perpendicularity horizontal intersection 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 intersection 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.

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 cartridge may create a risk of fire when used with another battery cartridge. in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire. Important safety instructions for battery cartridge 2. Use power tools only with specifically designated battery cartridges.
Safety instructions CAUTION Only use genuine Makita batteries.
