The Kapro KA862 Prolaser is a self-levelling cross line laser with one horizontal and one vertical red line at 90° to each other, built for setting out, fitting and levelling where accuracy and speed matter. The lines reach up to 20 m depending on the distance to the surface the laser is projected onto.
The laser attaches with dual magnets and a V-shaped back that grips pipes and rounded objects. The hook-and-loop strap fixes it around posts and studs, and the 1/4" mount takes it onto a tripod or laser pole.
Key benefits of the KA862 Prolaser cross line laser
The KA862 levels itself within +/-5° in under 3 sec, with an accuracy of +/- 2 mm at 10 metres. The lines can run separately or together, and they flash as soon as the laser is out of level.
Benefits in daily work:
- Dual magnets and a V-shaped back for fixing on pipes and rounded objects.
- Hook-and-loop strap for mounting around posts and studs.
- Tilt mode that locks the lines in the chosen position so the laser can be angled freely for manual levelling.
- IP 54 protection against dust, rain and splashes, operating from -10°C to +50°C.
How the KA862 Prolaser cross line laser is used for setting out and levelling
The KA862 is used for setting out, fitting and levelling where demands on accuracy and speed are high. The horizontal and vertical lines form a cross that gives a reference in both directions, and tilt mode lets the laser be angled in any position once the lines are locked. Runtime is approx. 10 hours on 2 x 1.5 V AA batteries, which are not included.
