The Bosch GCL100-40G Green Beam Self-Leveling Cross-Line Laser with Plumb Points is a top - notch tool. It uses advanced green - beam technology, emitting green lines and points that are up to 4 times brighter than ordinary red beams. This amazing brightness gives it a working line range of up to 165 Ft. It can produce vertical, horizontal, cross - line modes, and also upward and downward green plumb points. You can project two lines either separately or together, making it great for various alignment and leveling tasks. It comes with Bosch's exclusive VisiMax™ technology. This smart tech monitors the tool's temperature and power consumption to give you the brightest line for the job and extend battery life. The tool has a full rubber overmold housing, designed like a roll cage to reinforce every major impact point with rubber. It's IP64 rated, meaning it can withstand rainy or dusty jobsite conditions. The deeply recessed windows protect the laser glass. The onboard user interface makes it easy to select different layout modes. The Bosch Smart Pendulum System allows the tool to self - level and indicates when it's out of level. It also locks the pendulum for safe transport. The included RM10 Rotating Mount offers quick setup, super - strong magnets, and a fine - adjustment rotating knob. Additionally, it features a three - LED battery gauge for easy battery management.
Using the Bosch GCL100 - 40G is a breeze. First, set it up on the RM10 Rotating Mount. Thanks to the strong magnets, it will stay firmly in place. You can use the fine - adjustment rotating knob to get the perfect angle. Then, use the onboard user interface to select the layout mode you need, like vertical, horizontal, cross - line, or plumb points. When the tool is on, the Smart Pendulum System will self - level automatically. If it shows that it's out of level, you'll need to adjust the position. The working range is quite large, up to 165 Ft for lines and 50 Ft for plumb points, so make sure you're within this range for the best results. When you're done with the job, switch off the tool. The pendulum will lock, which is great for transporting it safely. In terms of maintenance, since it has an IP64 rating, it can handle some dust and water, but try to keep it away from heavy rain or extreme dust. Check the battery regularly using the three - LED battery gauge. When the battery is low, replace it promptly to keep the tool running smoothly. And if the tool gets dirty, you can gently wipe it with a clean cloth.
