Jul 27, 2011  Johnson packed a strong feature set into a small form factor. With the 40-6001, you’ll find measurement memory, an integrated level for better accuracy and sound activation. All the expected measurement modes are included- length, area, volume, and indirect.

INSERTING/CHANGING BATTERIES
& ACTIVATING THE LASER BEAM

Open the red, threaded connector
and insert the two AAA (1.5V) batteries
as shown on the diagram printed on
the level sleeve.

To turn the laser level “on”, rotate the
knob located above the laser beam
exit hole in a clockwise direction.
To turn the beam “off”, rotate the
knob counter-clockwise.

Note: Used (discharged) batteries
are hazardous waste and must be
disposed of properly.

ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENT

Expand the legs of the tripod and position it firmly on an
even, near-level surface. On uneven surfaces and inclines,
compensate by adjusting the telescoping legs of the tripod
and find level with the aid of the built-in Bull’s Eye™ centering
vial (found at the top of the tripod’s base).

Tightly screw the rotating leveling base and tripod together.

Bring the leveling plate of the base into a level position
by means of the three adjusting screws and the built-in
Bull’s Eye™ centering vial.

Place the spirit level on the leveling plate and tighten
it with the locking clamp. Check to ensure the vial registers level.
Use the regulating screws to adjust. (Center the bubble exactly
between the markings on the vial).

Loosen the “stop” screw, rotate the level 90 degrees and check for level
again using one of the other adjusting screw(s)--if necessary. Return to
original position and re-check, re-adjusting if required.

The elevation of the laser point can be fixed to the desired position
using the tripod’s handle crank. Use the degree scale on the leveling
base to set the level at the required angle.

Battery Installation

• To open the battery cover, unscrew the

end cap then pull out

• Insert the 9V battery paying attention to

the polarity, put back the end cap and
screws

• Power on the instrument

Note:
Used (discharged) batteries are hazardous
waste and should be disposed of properly. Take
out the batteries if the instrument is not going
to be used for a long time.

Using the Product

On/Off Key
Power on and off the instrument by pressing
this key.

Hold Key
The angle readings change in accordance with
the change of the angle measurement. Press
the key to enter into the “hold” mode. The
measured angle reading will be held. Pressing
the key again will stop the “hold” mode and
measured value will change with the movement
of the angle level arm.

Miter Key
The key switches the measured angle and con-
verts it to the miter cut angle. This measure-
ment is the angle that needs to be set in the
miter saw to create the correct cut angle.

Automatic Shut-off
This instrument will shut-off automatically if no
operation is received within five minutes.

Measuring Angles

Position the angle level arm and the base arm
plane against the edges to be measured. The
displayed reading corresponds with the z angle
between the angle level arm and the base arm.

The displayed reading can be retained in the
display by pressing the HOLD key.

When the hold key is pressed, “HOLD” is
indicated in the display. The measured angle
reading will be held (even when the legs are
moved in relation to each other) until the HOLD
key is pressed again.

a work piece, pay attention that the angle level
arm and base don’t move. After pressing the
HOLD key, which store the measured angle, the
user can now activate the MITER key. By
pressing the miter key, the Angle Finder is tak-
ing the measured angle and
converting it to the correct
miter cut angle. This
measurement is the angle
that needs to be set in the
miter saw to create the
correct cut angle.
