Setting up the Tripod and Calibrating the Rotary Laser

hey we need to set up the laser this rotary laser remember Stan rotary laser it's not that hard to say the very first thing you need to do is get this thing as absolutely flat as you possibly can that may not always be possible I'm not going to be able to duplicate some of this conditions you get outside in the ground but I am going to do the best I can let's say you've got really uneven terrain these legs are adjustable they allow they allow you to get the laser or the tripod see even I'm screwing up as level as possible by adjusting one of the legs down you can then go over the top of obstacles the most important thing you need to remember what initially set up your tripod let's try to get it as stable as possible and out of the way also when you initially set up the tripod where the rotary laser is going to go don't put it behind where people park their cars the rotary laser depends on shooting a laser out and allowing the receiver to interact with that laser it literally is shooting out a laser beam 360 degrees you have any obstructions between this and the receiver the rotary laser isn't going to work the ground you put the tripod on is actually pretty critical if you have soft ground and this thing moves or adjusts it's not just going to throw your numbers off but if it gets too far out of whack it's gonna throw the whole thing off and what happens then is you have to start all over again but you can't just go out pick it up set it back up and keep reading numbers because that'll throw all of your calculations off once you set up the rotary laser you then have to establish a benchmark you have to mark down with that benchmark is and then you can do the rest of your calculations from there let's try to get this thing actually set up and running if this does not have to be perfect for this Dewalt laser now if you're using a top-line or another laser system that could be that actually has a big impact on what you're trying to do and sorry my bird talks because I talk so you can hear her in the background once we get this fairly close we actually can hook it into the tripod get it secured don't just set it up there and leave it now I am slightly off balance here you guys can probably see that so I'm gonna do the best I can to try to eyeball this to get it right some rotary lasers are gonna have individual adjustments and then a bubble that you have to actually have to get it all lined up if that's the case well those are just extra steps and that's also…
