      Q:Can this be pointed down (nadir) to produce a cross on the floor, or will the self leveling feature interfere with that?

      A:  Not that I can tell. The self - leveling feature doesn’t allow it to do that.

            A:  The unit is made to work from floor level up and has great coverage at close distances. However, not if it's on a tripod. When the unit is about 36" above the floor, the tripod needs to be about 6'-8' from the wall to get the line to go down to the floor.

                  A:  Yes, as long as you have the unit set in a “reasonably” level condition. I had mine hung on a wall that was “wavy” ...I had to put a wedge under the bottom, Then it worked great.

                          A:  Depends. If your using the verticle line, yes, it can reach the ceiling. I used it for mounting a bathroom vanity and keeping the vanity level, worked great.

                            Q:does the laser have a locking mode to protect laser

                            A:  No. It is self leveling. I had it mounted onto tri pod, and bumped the tripod a couple times while putting cabinets in place, and when it settled, it was still right on the money. I checked the line several times and it never moved. As long as it is mounted right, I don't see a problem with the line needing a lock.

                              A:  Nope, DeWalt thinks it's tough enough it doesn't need it's pendulum locked.

                                A:  Pendulum lock is so the pendulum doesn't get knock around during transportation. DeWalt considers that this laser level does not need a lock to stay accurate. (It can bounce around in your work truck. Maybe that's why it comes with a case?) If you do get a laser lever that does have a pendulum lock, make sure the lock in integrated with the on/off switch.

                                A:  sorry , no . There is mechanism to limit swinging of pendulum (amplitude, frequency) ,but not lockable manually. Why not ? or they think it is tough enough to withstand . It causes more question and comparison and make think twice before buying it.

                                    A:  Yes it is self leveling

                                    by|May 4, 2023

                                      A:  Yes, it is self-leveling. However, there is a limit to how much it can correct for. If you're setting it on something that's "pretty level" (but not perfectly level), it will self-level. Also, if it can't self-level, it blinks at you - so you know you need to shim it or something to get it closer to level so it can auto-adjust.

                                      A:  Yes it is self leveling. It will blink if not in level. It does not make a beeping noise as some other level do when out of level.
