How to Use a Laser Level

Laser levels are one of the most important tools you need to have in your toolbox. If you are doing anything to do with building or installing anything from scratch, this tool is for you. It is literally the one tool that can help guarantee anything you build, stands, fits perfectly, or is overall functional. This is a comprehensive guide on how to use a laser level.

How to Use a Laser Level
1. Find a flat surface or a tripod to set up your laser level on: It’s important that you find a flat, and even surface, where you can put your laser level. This will be even more accurate on a tripod as you can guarantee that your tripod is level too.
2. Check the bubble vials: The bubble vials should show that the bubble is in the middle or center of the vial. This confirms that your leveling tool is level.
3. Turn the laser level on: You can now turn on your laser level. If this is a self-leveling tool, you’ll need to give it some time to accurately level itself on the surface that it is on.
4. Make sure there is a surface where the laser can project on: For you to see the accurate line of the laser level, it needs to hit a wall or a surface. If this is done outdoors, and there are no surfaces for the laser to hit, make one with any type of fabric or material that can stand on its own.
5. Mark the laser guides on your surface: Once you have an accurate idea of where the level line is, it’s time to make a mark on the surface you want to mark or make the appropriate measurements you need to make.

I needs me a marking device... getting tired of these damn pencils

[@SawsHub]

There you go!

[@JWEmbry-wc7qi]

Thank you sir, really good helpful info without a bunch of nonsense thrown in!!! Also appreciate written the step-by-step instructions you provided. Thanks again.

[@SawsHub]

Glad it was helpful!

[@tajuan1129]

I wish you would’ve told us where you purchased that leveler very nice with the twisted angle directioner

[@Bobby-lv2kr]

I find bubble thing extremely hard to center a digital leveling device is better

[@SawsHub]

Yeah, digital offers a lot of advantages

[@thornleymarshalldesigns]

I bought one of these years ago and while clearing out, I came across it. The instruction card didn’t really explain it very well so fortunately I found your video. I noticed a red marker on mine which is set at the rear of the unit, which I would have thought having it on the front would be better, and also the top section (the part the laser is attached to, slides back and forth to get a more profound level of the laser light, it also is useful if you also are working on two walls, say to fit brackets or a strip of wood to hold a worktop etc.

[@marcelinanoss8825]

I HAVE A sTRAIGHT liNE 120 LASER LEVEL BUT THE RED DOT ISNT making the line just a red dot on the wall,, can this beam be adjusted?

[@keithcoker5261]

If your straight edge had a bubble in it (IE a spirit level) wouldn't that do the same job, with the bonus it leaves one hand free to mark the line ?

[@sethroy4318]

laser level projects a straight line for a much longer distance . u could pop a chalk line clear across a room that was perfectly level

[@bridges5659]

Good explanation dad. I bought one for R100 from a Chinese home Store here in South Africa. Works well.

[@ybanag]

This is old. Why not get a self leveling laser instead.

You must love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. You must love your neighbor as yourself. Jesus the Anointed is Lord! Repent and be baptized and believe the Evangelism.

[@davestrongman9519]

Next video needs to be demonstration how to use that schnazzy marking device you speak of!!

[@SawsHub]

Haha :)

[@toddm394]

I actually understood for the first how to use the laser level. I always wondered how you could get both level bubbles in the middle at the same time now I know what each one is for. Thanks for a great video.

[@SawsHub]

Glad I could help!

[@markjones1337]

@@SawsHub what is the make/model of the laser level your using in the video please?

[@skabettispaghetti5451]

THANK YOU. It took looking through about 8 videos to find out how to use a laser without a tripod. I don't have one.

[@stephenhamilton9791]

Could do with that wall plastered and levelled lol

[@d.p.8229]

I have the same device but the laser light doesn't come on any more. Do you know how to fix it please?

[@diehardfan173]

So laser levels don’t do wall corners/45° very well? It’s difficult for me to keep them in place while I’m spanning a distance to meet up with the 45° wall angle

[@SawsHub]

Correct

[@abamitbhatti]

what a nice and understandable presentation

[@SawsHub]

Glad you liked it!

[@30smsuperstrat]

Looks like the lumber behind that sheetrock needed a laser plane to straighten it out.😆

[@eveb1697]

Thank you!

[@SawsHub]

You're welcome!

[@panderichthys_rhombolepis]

I think you mean it is always easy to find the horizontal level but not the vertical level.

[@Lonedude1111]

How far does it go? I need to put a straight line about 50 feet in the ground. Thanks

[@bandido7994]

Great for small DYI projects at home, what brand and how much is that level?

this is the one you buy on aliexpress or ebay?

I bought that one at Home Depot. I don't think that exact one is available at the moment.

Thank you. I bought this, but both my husband and I had no idea how to use it 😆

What the brand of this laser.?

[@lionheartchannel5842]

Thanks for sharing this video ❤️

Thanks for watching!

[@Chalkster1]

It’s a pity you can’t attach the level to the wall

[@SawsHub]

Double stick tape! :)

[@Chalkster1]

@@SawsHub thankyou

[@andre1987eph]

1:41 that’s a nice straight edge

[@Dabears2112]

Why can't the laser attach to the walls? Seems you'd need more than 2 hands to mark the walls while using other tools simultaneously.

[@da324]

It has two mounting points on the base.

[@abdullahal-shimri3091]

You can use masking tape to stick it

[@Gelfxalerts]

What battery does it need?

Is lazer level good use for pictures mounting?

It could be, especially if trying to hang multiple pictures on a wall on the same plane

How do I turn on the lazer light?

Read your owner manual

Can you use it to level a line for screening a floor

[@SawsHub]

Probably better to use a standard level, the longer the better.

Thanks for the video =)

[@SawsHub]

My pleasure!

[@abdallahahmed6670]

Can use it in the daylight?

[@SawsHub]

Yes, unless you buy a really cheap one. The laser won't be as bright but it is still plenty visible.

thanks from Libya

Thanks for your video, if you have not done so already make Jesus the Lord and Saviour of your life and repent of all your sins immediately, Study the KJV Bible to know more. Hell is real and you don't want to go there

would this work outdoors

[@SawsHub]

Yes. Direct sunlight might be hard, depending on how bright your laser is.

@@SawsHub i tried it today. I couldnt see it. so i will bring it back to homedepot. thanks for response
