Lasers are crucial in the early construction stages, and measurement needs vary with applications. The Makita 12V max CXT® Lithium-Ion Self-Leveling Crossline Green Beam Laser (SK105GDZ) offers a cordless solution for horizontal/vertical cross reference lines in leveling, alignment, and plumbing. Depending on the ambient light, it has a line visibility of up to 115' and can be detected up to 262' with a Makita Laser Detector (sold separately). This laser features a bright 525 nm class II green laser with +/-1/8” accuracy at 33', providing 180 degrees horizontal and 160-degree vertical lines for full coverage. It self-levels in just 3 seconds for enhanced productivity. All 12V max CXT® cordless tools are compatible with the 12V max CXT® Lithium-Ion 4.0Ah battery (BL1041B), which has a Battery Protection Circuit. The SK105GDZ also has a power connector port for 18V LXT® batteries when used with the Power Source Adapter (ADP05) and Adapter Cord (sold separately). It comes with many features like selectable lines, long run time, high accuracy, and durability. It's part of the expanding 12V max CXT® series, offering great performance in a compact size. With a 3-year limited warranty, it's a reliable choice for your projects.
Using this laser is easy. First, make sure you have the right battery installed. The 12V max CXT® Lithium-Ion battery is recommended, and it's also compatible with an 18V LXT® battery when using the adapter and cord (sold separately). Once the battery is in, turn on the laser with the one-button interface. You can select horizontal or vertical cross reference lines as needed for your leveling, alignment, or plumbing work. When using it, keep in mind that the line visibility depends on the ambient light. You can use a Makita Laser Detector (sold separately) to increase the detection range. The laser self-levels in up to 3 seconds, but make sure the surface is within 4° of slope for proper self-leveling. For storage and transport, use the integrated pendulum lock to protect the laser diode. The laser has an IP 54 rating, which means it's dust and water resistant, but still try to keep it away from extreme conditions. Clean the laser regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Only use genuine Makita batteries and chargers to ensure proper performance and safety. And remember, it comes with a 3-year limited warranty, so if you have any issues, contact Makita.
