General Leveling and Aligning
1.  Place the laser on a flat surface.  The laser must be level within its self-

leveling range.

2.  Adjust the position of the lines and plumb point so they are at the desired 

positions.

3.  Mark the position of the wall, elevation, floor or ceiling.
Installing and Plumbing a Wall

1.  Place the laser so the Vertical Line 

Beam is positioned over the desired 

wall location (usually indicated by 2 

floor marks).
Note:

 If the floor track is already 

installed the laser should be placed 

on the Universal Tripod Mount so 

the Vertical Line can be positioned 

over the edge of the track. 

2.  Use the Vertical Line Beam to 

position the top track.

 The batteries should be removed when storing the laser more 

than 30 days.

1.  Release the battery door latch using your fingers, a coin, or a screwdriver. 

Open the door.

2.  Install/remove the AA batteries. Insert the positive (+) end first to ease 

installation.

  Note: When installing the batteries, be sure to note the positive (+) and 

negative (–) diagrams molded on the battery housing.

3.  Close the battery door and latch it shut.
1213-02X0 External Battery Charger (If Supplied)

1.  Remove the rechargeable batteries from the 1.3XL and place them in the 

external charger, noting the correct polarity (+, -) as marked on the charger.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to recharge Alkaline batteries.
2.  Follow the additional directions supplied with the charger.  
3.  Charging takes approximately 14 hours to complete.

Thank you for choosing the Spectra Precision

®

 1.3XL from the Trimble

®

 family 

of precision products. This simple-to-use tool allows you to perform leveling 

or vertical plumb work. You can also use the laser outdoors for leveling and 

aligning applications (optional HR220 receiver required).
Before using the laser, be sure to read this operator’s manual carefully. 

Included in it is information about setting up, using, and maintaining the 

laser. Also included in this manual are CAUTIONS and Notes. Each of these 

words represents a level or danger or concern. A CAUTION indicates a hazard 

or unsafe practice that could result in minor injury or property damage. A 
Note

 indicates important information unrelated to safety.

1.  Power and Audio Button – turns the 

receiver ON and OFF and changes the 

audio to LOUD, LOW or OFF.

a.  Automatic Shutoff - If the photocell 

does not detect the laser beam for 30 

minutes, the receiver shuts off 

automatically.

2.  Marking Notches (both sides) – align 

with the on-grade portion of the 

photocell and are used to mark elevation 

readings. The marking notches are 50 

mm (2 in.) from the top of the receiver.

3.  Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) – 

displays the elevation, power, audio and 

battery status.

4. Bubble vials - aids in keeping receiver 

level in both horizontal and vertical 

planes.

5.  Photocell – detects the laser beam when 

it strikes the receiver.

6.  Audio Port – is the opening the sound 

comes out of.

7.  Clamp-Tab Recess – is the area that the 

general-purpose clamp’s release tab fits 

into.

8.  Label – shows the serial number and manufacturing date.
9.  Magnet—holds the receiver on a wall molding, cross-T, runner, etc.
10.LEDs – show the position of the receiver relative to the laser beam (above 

grade [red], on grade [green] or below grade [blue]).

11.Battery Housing – holds 2 AA alkaline batteries.
12. Battery Door Latch– opens the battery compartment.

The C61 clamp allows the receiver to be attached to a survey rod or wooden pole.
1.  Release Tab – allows the receiver to be locked onto or released from the 

general-purpose clamp.

2.  Jaws – close/open so that the general-purpose clamp can be attached to or 

released from a survey rod or wooden pole.

3.  Jaws Screw – controls the closing/

opening of the jaws.

4.  Reading Edge – aligns with the 

receiver’s on-grade marking notches.

5.  Bubble Screw Holes – are where the 

optional 1277-6251S rod bubble kit 

is mounted.

1.  Unlock the laser’s compensator by sliding the switch 

to the RIGHT. 

 For added mechanism protection always lock the 

laser when not in use by sliding the switch to the 

LEFT.

2.  Press the POWER button, the POWER LED 

illuminates GREEN. 

3.  Each time the POWER button is pressed the laser beams will cycle through 

the following sequence: 1 Vertical Line - Horizontal Line -  1 Vertical & 

Horizontal Lines - All Lines. The plumb down beam is on in all modes.

4.  To activate automatic shutoff keep holding the ON button down for 3 

seconds during turn-On.  The POWER LED will flash 3 times indicating 

automatic shutoff has been activated.  Once activated the laser will 

automatically shut off after 1 hour if no controls are pressed.

5.  When the unit is tilted out of its self-leveling range the laser beams will 

blink 2 times per second and the manual mode / compensator lock LED 

will flash red.

6.  The laser can be taken out of automatic self-leveling mode to perform 

slope work by locking the laser’s compensator (slide the switch to the 

LEFT). In this mode the manual mode / compensator lock LED will flash 

red, and the laser beams will flash 3 times every 30 seconds.

7.  To operate the laser with the HR220 receiver press the RECEIVER button.  

The RECEIVER LED will illuminate GREEN.

8.  When the batteries need changed the POWER LED illuminates RED.
9.  To turn OFF the laser, PRESS & HOLD the POWER button for 3 seconds.

Installing a Ceiling
1.  Measure up from the floor (or other reference 

mark) to the finished ceiling height.

2.  Install the first piece of wall molding.
3.  Slide the top half of the ceiling plate 

assembly (1213-0120) behind the wall 

molding, then attach the bottom half of 

the assembly by lifting the top half away 

from the wall.

4.  Attach the Universal Tripod Mount  

(0002-3475) to the laser and magnetically 

attach it to the ceiling plate so that the 

level beam is at wall molding height. Install 

the rest of the wall molding.

5.  Lower the laser 5 cm (2.0 in.) on the 

ceiling plate so that the level beam is at the 

horizontal target elevation.

6.  Install the ceiling’s cross Ts and main Ts.

3.  Use the Vertical Line Beam to position the floor track.
4.  To locate the plumb point over a wall corner or other point place the 

Down Point Beam over the corner or mark.  Use the intersecting cross lines 

to determine the top track corner location.

Note: If the floor track is already installed use the Universal Tripod Mount to 

position the Down Point over the corner.
