§ FAQ

How far does the DW079LG reach with the included detector?

DEWALT rates the DW079LG at up to 2,000 ft. range when used with the included detector, making it suitable for large exterior layout and grading applications.

Is the DW079LG waterproof enough for outdoor use in rain?

Yes. The DW079LG carries an IP67 rating, meaning it is fully protected against dust ingress and can be submerged briefly in water, suitable for most outdoor jobsite conditions.

What battery does the DW079LG use?

It uses a 20V MAX* battery (1 battery and charger are included in the kit). Any DEWALT 20V MAX* battery is compatible.

What does the kit include?

The DW079LG kit includes the rotary laser, detector, 5/8-in. tripod adapter, 5/8-in. bracket adapter, TSTAK storage case, 20V MAX* battery, charger, enhancement glasses, target card, ceiling bracket, and detector bracket.

Why choose green beam over red for a rotary laser?

Green laser light is 4x more visible to the human eye than red at equivalent power levels, which allows the DW079LG's beam to be seen at greater distances and in brighter outdoor conditions without a detector.

Does the DW079LG self-level automatically?

Yes. The DW079LG self-levels within its leveling range and locks out of level when the surface is beyond the compensator range, alerting the operator to reposition before use.
