DEWALT® Green Cross Line Laser

Model number
DW088CG

The DW088CG is DEWALT's green-beam cross-line laser that projects bright horizontal and vertical crossing lines for leveling and layout applications. It delivers ±1/8-in. accuracy at 30 ft and a 65-ft visibility range, extending to 165 ft when used with an optional detector. The overmolded housing survives 1-meter drops. It self-levels within its operating range and locks the pendulum when out of level. Powered by 3 AA batteries. Includes a ceiling bracket for overhead mounting. Compatible with standard 5/8-in. tripod threads. Backed by DEWALT's 3-year limited tool warranty.

§ FAQ

What is the working range of the DW088CG?

The DW088CG has a 65-ft visibility range in normal lighting conditions. With a compatible detector (sold separately), the range extends to 165 ft, making it suitable for outdoor applications.

How accurate is the DW088CG?

The DW088CG delivers ±1/8-in. accuracy at 30 ft, which is adequate for most interior layout work including tile setting, cabinet installation, and wall framing.

Does the DW088CG work outdoors?

The green beam is more visible than red in bright conditions, but direct sunlight still washes out the beam. For outdoor use, pair it with a compatible green laser detector to extend detection range to 165 ft.

What batteries does the DW088CG use?

The DW088CG runs on 3 AA batteries, which are included in the box. No charger is needed.

Can the DW088CG be mounted on a tripod?

Yes. The DW088CG features a 5/8-in. tripod thread, so it mounts to any standard surveying tripod or laser tripod. It also includes a ceiling bracket for overhead mounting.

Is the DW088CG drop-resistant?

Yes. The overmolded housing is designed to survive a 1-meter drop onto concrete, protecting the optical components during everyday jobsite use.
