Q:why does it blink then shut down ??? battery issue ?
by|Jan 23, 2018
2 Answers
Answer This Question
A: Thank you for your question. The GLL 50 Laser leveling Tool will blink if the unit is out of level by 4 degrees, it will also shut down after 120m if no button is pressed. If your unit is immediately shutting down after a few seconds, please try new batteries. If that doesn't resolve the issue then contact our customer service department so that we may further troubleshoot the issue and discuss available options. Please contact us at 1-877-BOSCH99 (1-877-267-2499) from Mon-Fri 7A-7P CST.

A: It blinks when it is not level enough to self-level. Shim it so it is closer to level in order for the internal pendulum to self-level, indicated by a solid line.

A: Yes the bracket does have magnets. The magnets are pretty strong and was able to secure on the finished metal corner bead. So far it has worked wonders even after dropping a few times.

Q:Does OSHA require eye-protection for using this in a work setting?

Answer This Question
A: Nothing about such a rule in the manual that comes with the level. I have observed others using it on job sites without glasses but then again OSHA is not every where.
by|May 5, 2023
A: Thank you for your question. The OSHA requires Respiratory protection to avoid dust exposure. For your eye protection from dust you can always wear protective glasses. For further assistance, contact us at 1-877-BOSCH99 (1-877-267-2499) from M-F 7a-7p CST.

Q:For hanging Siding?
by|Sep 22, 2017
2 Answers
Answer This Question
A: Why not. You get a vertical and horizontal cross hair to guide the placement. For outside work at some distance to the wall, I would advise the larger model.
by|May 4, 2023
A: Yes! As long as your wall lengths are under 50ft this would work very well for hanging siding. You will probably want an extra tall telescoping tripod, or a long board with screws for hanging the unit at the necessary heights. Just make sure to attach your board to something to keep it from falling over.

Q:How well does it work outside?
by|Jul 28, 2017
2 Answers
Answer This Question
A: How well the Bosch 50 ft. Self-Leveling Cross-Line Laser Level works outside is somewhat subjective. I think it works well on a shaded target from about 10-15 feet away on a bright, sunny day. However, if the target is light colored and there's a bright sun shining directly on it, then the laser lines will not be visible at all. You'll have to shade the target.
To date, I've only used the product indoors. I briefly evaluated it outside in order to answer this question.
I've been very satisfied with the product.
by|May 4, 2023
A: Thank you for your question. The GLL50 laser is designed to work indoors only. For outdoor and indoor use, we recommend the GCL2-160 + LR6. For further assistance, contact us at 1-877-BOSCH99 (1-877-267-2499) from M-F 7a-7p CST.
