3. Installation

Before using your Stabila extendable level, ensure it is clean and free from debris. Follow these steps to prepare the level for your task:

1. Unpack the Level: Carefully remove the level from its packaging. Inspect for any visible damage.
2. Extend the Level: Hold the main body of the level firmly. Grasp the movable section and gently pull it outwards to extend the level to your desired length.
3. Lock the Length: Once the desired length is achieved, locate the manual lock system (typically a rotating knob or lever). Rotate or engage the lock to firmly secure the extended section in place. Ensure the level is rigid and does not slide freely.
4. Check Vials: Before each use, quickly verify the accuracy of the vials by placing the level on a known level surface. The bubble should be centered between the indicator lines.

4. Mode d'emploi

The Stabila 80T Extendable Level is designed for precise horizontal and vertical leveling, as well as marking. Always ensure the level is securely locked at the desired length before use.

4.1. Horizontal Leveling

1. Place the milled measuring surface of the level onto the surface you wish to check for levelness.
2. Observe the horizontal vial. The bubble should be precisely centered between the two indicator lines.
3. Adjust the workpiece or the level's position until the bubble is centered, indicating a perfectly level surface.

4.2. Vertical Leveling (Plumb)

1. Position the side of the level against the vertical surface you wish to check for plumb.
2. Observe the vertical vial. The bubble should be precisely centered between the two indicator lines.
3. Adjust the workpiece or the level's position until the bubble is centered, indicating a perfectly plumb surface.

4.3. Marking and Layout

The continuous marking and cutting edge, along with the printed scale, allows for accurate marking and layout tasks.

• Use the printed scale on the top frame for quick measurements and setting out specific lengths.
• The continuous edge ensures a straight line for marking or guiding cutting tools, even when the level is extended.

5. Entretien

Proper maintenance ensures the accuracy and extends the lifespan of your Stabila level.

• Nettoyage: After each use, wipe down the level with a clean, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, and construction debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish or vials.
• Stockage: Store the level in a dry place, preferably in its original packaging or a protective case, to prevent damage from impacts or extreme temperatures.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the vials for clarity and ensure they are securely seated. Check the end caps and anti-slip grips for wear or damage.
• Contrôle de précision : Periodically check the level's accuracy against a known true level or plumb surface. If the level appears inaccurate, it may require professional calibration or replacement.

6. Dépannage

If you encounter issues with your Stabila extendable level, consider the following common problems and solutions:

• Bubble Not Centered:
  • Ensure the surface you are measuring is truly level or plumb.
  • Check if the level is placed firmly and evenly on the surface.
  • Verify that the extension lock is fully engaged and the level is not flexing.
  • If the issue persists, the level may have been subjected to impact and its accuracy compromised.
• Blocage du mécanisme d'extension :
  • Clean the sliding mechanism thoroughly to remove any accumulated dirt or debris.
  • Apply a small amount of dry lubricant (e.g., silicone spray) to the sliding surfaces, avoiding contact with the vials.
• End Caps Loose or Damaged:
  • Ensure end caps are securely fitted. If damaged, contact Stabila customer support for replacement parts.
