Lasers play a crucial role in the early construction phases, and measurement needs vary according to application requirements. The Makita 12V max CXT® Lithium-Ion Self-Leveling Cross-Line/4-Point Red Beam Laser (SK106DZ) offers a cordless solution. It provides selectable horizontal/vertical cross reference lines and 4-point functionality, essential for leveling, aligning, plumbing, and squaring applications. Depending on the ambient light in your work area, the SK106DZ has a line visibility of up to 82 feet and can be detected up to 262 feet with a Makita Laser Detector (sold separately). This laser features a bright 635 nm class II red laser with an accuracy of +/-1/8 inch at 33 feet, setting the industry standard. Its laser line fan spans past the 90-degree position, providing 180-degree horizontal and 160-degree vertical lines for comprehensive reference line coverage. It achieves self-leveling line stability in just 3 seconds, boosting your productivity. For longer run time, all 12V max CXT® cordless tools are compatible with the 12V max CXT® Lithium-Ion 4.0Ah battery (BL1041B). These batteries come with a Battery Protection Circuit to prevent overloading, over-discharging, and over-heating. The SK106DZ is part of the expanding 12V max CXT® series, combining high performance with great ergonomics in a compact size. Users on the 18V LXT® battery platform can use an 18V LXT® battery with the Power Source Adapter (ADP05) and Adapter Cord (adapter and cord sold separately). Key features include selectable reference lines and 4-point functionality, up to 40 hours of continuous run time with the 4.0Ah rechargeable battery (battery not included), high visibility red lines, best-in-class accuracy, wide laser line fan angles, fast self-leveling, operation on uneven surfaces up to 4 degrees of slope, pendulum lock for slope incline applications and protection during transport, IP 54 dust and water resistance, recessed laser windows for durability, rubberized housing, a simple one-button interface, a low laser brightness mode to conserve battery, a power connector port for alternate power, a multi-purpose magnetic bracket, battery protection, and a 3-year limited warranty. Always use genuine Makita batteries and chargers.
Using the Makita 12V max CXT® Lithium-Ion Self-Leveling Cross-Line/4-Point Red Beam Laser is easy. First, choose the right battery. You can use a 12V max CXT® Lithium-Ion battery, and for longer run time, the 4.0Ah battery is a great option. If you're on the 18V LXT® battery platform, you'll need to buy the Power Source Adapter (ADP05) and Adapter Cord separately. Once you have the power source connected, turn on the laser using the simple one-button interface. Select the horizontal or vertical cross reference lines or the 4-point functionality based on your application, like leveling, aligning, plumbing, or squaring. The laser will self-level in about 3 seconds, but make sure the surface slope is within 4 degrees. If you need to work on a sloped surface, use the integrated pendulum lock. When using the laser, pay attention to the ambient light. The red line is visible up to 82 feet, and you can detect it up to 262 feet with a Makita Laser Detector (sold separately). For maintenance, keep the laser clean. Thanks to its IP 54 rating, it's dust and water resistant, but still avoid exposing it to extreme conditions. The laser windows are recessed and the housing is rubberized for protection, but be careful not to drop it. Always use genuine Makita batteries and chargers to ensure the best performance and protect the Battery Protection Circuit. The laser comes with a 3-year limited warranty, so if you have any issues, contact Makita.
