Lasers are essential in the early construction phases, and measurement needs change based on different applications. The Makita 12V max CXT™ Lithium-Ion self-leveling cross-line red beam laser (SK105DZ) offers a cordless solution for leveling, aligning, and plumbing tasks. In different ambient light conditions, the SK105DZ has a line visibility of up to 82 feet and can be detected up to 262 feet with a Makita laser detector (sold separately). It features a bright 635 nm class II red laser with an accuracy of +/- 1/8 inch at 33 feet, providing top - notch precision. The laser line fan extends beyond the 90 - degree position, creating 180 - degree horizontal and 160 - degree vertical lines for comprehensive reference. It achieves self - leveling line stability in just 3 seconds, boosting work efficiency. All 12V max CXT™ cordless tools can use the 12V max CXT™ Lithium - Ion 4.0 Ah battery (BL1041B) for longer run - time. These batteries have a protection circuit to prevent overloading, over - discharging, and over - heating. This laser is part of the growing 12V max CXT™ series, which combines high performance with great ergonomics in a compact design. The package includes a magnetic L - Adapter (LE00870131), a magnetic red target plate (LE00785638), and a storage pouch. Key features of the SK105DZ are selectable horizontal/vertical cross reference lines for various applications, up to 40 hours of continuous run - time with a 12V max CXT™ battery (not included), a long line visibility range, high - accuracy laser, fast self - leveling, integrated pendulum lock, operation on uneven surfaces up to 4 degrees of slope, IP54 dust and water resistance, protected laser windows, rubberized housing, simple one - button operation, low - brightness mode for battery conservation, an option to use an 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion battery with an adapter (sold separately), a multi - purpose magnetic bracket, and battery protection. However, it's not compatible with 12V max pod - style tools, batteries, and chargers.
Using the Makita SK105DZ is easy. First, insert the 12V max CXT™ Lithium - Ion battery (not included) into the laser. You can also use an 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion battery with a power source adapter (sold separately). Press the single button to turn on the laser. Select the horizontal or vertical cross - reference lines as per your application. The laser will self - level within 3 seconds. For better detection in low - light or long - distance situations, you can use a Makita laser detector (sold separately). When transporting or storing the laser, make sure to lock the pendulum to protect the laser diode. Keep the laser away from extreme heat, cold, and humidity. Clean the laser windows gently with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals. If the laser gets wet or dirty, dry it thoroughly and clean it with a mild cleaner. Regularly check the battery for signs of over - heating, over - discharging, or over - loading. Remember, this laser is not compatible with 12V max pod - style tools, batteries, and chargers.
