what is the shipping weight?

Thank you for your question. When the Fukuda FRE-205 DUO Kit is dispatched it is sent in two outer boxes. The main Laser Level Kit is in box 1 and the Tripod & Staff is in box 2. At the time of writing (possibly subject to change), the sizes and weights are as follows: FRE-205 Laser Level Kit (Box 1) 45 x 27 x 37 cm @ 5.04 kg Tripod & Staff (Box 2) 101 x 20 x 20 cm @ 5.8 kg I hope this helps. Best regards Laser Levels Online

how do you tell what % x or Y is as there is nlot digital readout ?

The Fukuda FRE-205 is what is called a “grade facility” laser. So as the name suggests it has the facility to tilt the beam to set a fall or gradient In either the x or y axis (or both together) of + or - 8.7% or 1 in 11.4. You do this using the remote control and holding down either the + or - button. The head then tilts from level to a slope which you can adjust. However, it is not a true grade laser which allows you to key in the values you require eg 3% in the x axis / 2 % in the y and it will then tilt to the exact gradient you need. So you have to calculate the gradient yourself manually. It also cannot calculate a slope or gradient for you. There are many different worksite scenarios. As an example, we are assuming that you are outside on a site with a clear field of view and planning to set drainage falls. All above ground and below ground drainage pipes should be laid to an adequate gradient. The fall in a pipe is defined as the vertical height by which the pipe drops over a known distance. eg. a 2.5% gradient is a fall of 1m over 40m or 1:40. (1 in 40). Typically, surface water or foul water drainage pipes are set between 1:40 to 1:80. If a gradient is too steep ie. steeper than 1 in 40, the liquid may run faster than the solids in a foul water pipe thus leaving the solids stranded, which could then block the pipe. Conversely, if a gradient is not steep enough (usually less than 1 in 110), then the pipe may still block if the solids slow down and become stranded. PROCEDURE (with a “grade facility” laser): Place the rotary laser horizontally on the surveying tripod, switch it ON and allow it to auto (self) level. Note the X-axis / Y-axis markings on the top cover of the laser. Setting a 1:40 gradient: Position the measuring staff at 10m away from the tripod, held vertically and move the laser detector (receiver) along the staff to find the set level position, usually by giving a continuous audible tone. By proportion, a 1m fall at 40m is only 250mm at 10m, so carefully noting the set level dimension on the rear of the staff, move the detector down by 250mm and clamp tight. Using the remote control yourself (from the staff location) or a colleague at the laser, switch the rotary laser to its MANUAL setting in the axis facing the measuring staff. See the laser’s Instruction Manual – if the exact procedure is unknown. Hold the “down arrow” button on the remote control or laser’s keypad, to slope the laser beam down the measuring staff until it gives a continuous tone again, having found set level on the detector. This has now set a 1:40 fall. Return the laser detector to the original set level dimension on the staff. Dig out soil & lower staff until the laser detector picks up the laser beam again. Important note: All “grade facility” rotary lasers revert back to the auto (self) level condition if switched Off without retaining the gradient set. So its recommended to complete the ground-works before switching the laser Off. I hope this helps. Best regards Laser Levels Online

Hi, How do we collaborate the laser as it is reading wrong?

Position the FRE-205 laser on it’s tripod in the middle of your office, garage, workshop etc... somewhere where you have space (10m or similar). 1) Ensure there is no glazing or reflective surfaces in line of sight of the laser beam. This is to prevent the Refraction of the laser beam (See Refraction Issues section on page 24 for further details). 2) Turn off all the lights and press the ON/OFF button once and the FRE-205 will power on and begin automatically self-levelling horizontally. 3) No other button needs to be pressed for the laser to self-level. 4) This self-levelling process takes around 15-20 seconds and then the prism will start spinning and will project a red beam 360 degrees around the room. 5) With the laser level keypad facing your chest (towards you) walk to the left hand wall and mark the position of the laser beam on the wall. 6) With the laser level keypad facing your chest (towards you) walk to the right hand wall and mark the position of the laser beam on the wall. 7) Walk back to the laser and carefully twist the laser level round so the laser keypad now faces the left wall. 8) Be extremely careful not to overly disturb the laser when twisting it round to the point the tripod position moves or is kicked. 9) The laser will momentarily stop and re-start when turned round. This is normal. The laser will then self level again and project a red beam 360 degrees around the room. 10) Walk to the datum marks on both the left and right wall. You should see that the beam is hitting these marks. 11) If it is hitting the datum marks then the laser is operating correctly. If the Laser is not hitting the datums in the controlled test then your would need to contact the Support team at Laser Levels Online for further assistance.

Amazing value for money!

Ordered this yesterday afternoon and was delivered early this morning! Super fast delivery and very happy with the product. For the price point, the laser is nice and robust, feels and operates as well as lasers at a far higher price. The laser itself was good for the money but to then have the indoor cross laser added into the cost made this choice a no brainer! With the top quality laser and accessories comes a very in depth and surprisingly helpful (learned a few new things!) 'Quick Start Guide' which will help you get the most out of all the lasers features. Very happy with the product and just had to write a review to say if you are thinking about buying this laser, I highly recommend it! Thank you to the seller and I will be sure to come back for future business.

Perfect purchase

Brilliant bit of kit its the second one ive had sadly last one was stolen. Amazing accuracy easy to use and this one came with the indoor laser which is easily as good as the dewalt one which is £190. Bargain... cannot recommend this more highly. And laser levels online provide a brilliant back up service. when i had an issue with my last one rather than buying a new battery pack they suggested a new charger lead first as it was a lot cheaper and they were bang on. Id left it in the rain without realising....

Great piece of kit

A good entry level laser with everything you need to do the job. Perfect for people who don't need a laser all the time. Good value for money, and still looks the part when you're on site!

Outstanding Service from Laser Levels Online

The level appears to be of a very high quality and robustly made, a very pleasant surprise as its considerably cheaper than other similar products. After a quick test indoors it looks like its just what I needed and I'm looking forward to trying it on site next week. Delivery was quoted as three days so i was amazed when it arrived next day, top marks for service from Laser Levels Online.

Builders site level

Great product, good build quality and accuracy. Good entry level laser level kit , only is the tripod could do with something to stop the legs spreading ,ok outside but slip on smooth surfaces.Solved this by putting some rubber caps on the tips of the legs.

Very good value and simple to use.

Lots of kit for the money. The accuracy appears very good but I'll reserve judgement for a couple of years. The cross hair line laser is good and bright

Value for money

I used this level for setting out a new build, so far l have no problems and for the money I am more than pleased, if it carries on with this sought of accuracy then l will be over the moon
