Place the Hawkeye laser level on a flat surface, such as a wall. This tool is ideal to use to hang multiple objects in a straight line. It is more effective than a traditional torpedo-style level because it can be set up once and left for the duration of the project.
-
Adjust the level until its bubbles are showing that it is perfectly level, either horizontally or vertically. Once you've leveled it, hold it firmly in place against the wall.
-
Push two tacks through the level's mounting holes. The tacks will sink into the drywall and hold the level in place on the wall. If using the level on a wall that is too hard to puncture with tacks, have an assistant hold the level in place. If you're working on a wall with metal framing, the magnetic panel on the bottom of the level may hold it in place.
-
Press the laser level's power button to send a laser beam across the wall. The laser line will provide you with a constant line, allowing you to make several nail holes to mount multiple picture frames in a straight line, for example.
-
Turn the laser level on its 360-degree base if you wish to create a laser line that is any angle other than horizontal or vertical. This application may be helpful if you wish to hang multiple objects in a 45-degree angle line, such as up a staircase.
