New Makita 12Vmax CXTmulti-line lasers T


Among a series of new product launches, Makitahas added two 12Vmax CXT multi-line lasers to its extensive range of site equipment. The multi- line lasers project one horizontal and two vertical 360° lines and include a precise self-levelling feature to enable simple setup, layout and alignment.


he 12Vmax CXT Red Multi-Line Laser (SK700DZ) and 12Vmax CXT Green Multi-Line Laser (SK700GDZ) are


versatile and durable with a range of features to make work on site as simple as possible. The Red Multi-Line Laser has a range of 25 metres in each direction (50 m diameter) while the green lasers of the SK700GDZ provide an increased range of 35m (70m diameter) and better line visibility in brighter conditions. The robust units are IP54 (dust and splash water) rated, have an operating temperature range of -10 to 50 ºC and feature a ¼ inch tripod thread for easy mounting. Each vertical and horizontal laser emitter


on the tool projects four lines to create up to three 360-degree laser lines. Depending on what is required, users can choose various combinations of the laser lines in addition to the full three line configuration. Single horizontal or vertical lines, vertical and horizontal combined or both vertical lines (front to back and side to side) are available. It also includes three brightness settings for optimum visibility depending on the environment.


EICUpdate Understanding grief and getting the support you need


Within the UK there are more than 100,000 hospital admissions yearly due to heart attacks, that’s one admission every five minutes. 1.4 million people living within the UK have survived a heart attack but 450 people every day die from a heart attack. Becca, a generation and renewables employee of almost 30 years, contacted the Electrical Industries Charity (EIC)aſter the sudden loss of her husband.


B


ecca and her husband had been married for 37 years, and although they both enjoyed an alcoholic beverage and weekly date night dinner out, they led a healthy lifestyle. They had


four young grandchildren and a dog which kept them active. While at home with their two children, Becca’s husband Steve suffered a heart attack and although paramedics arrived on the scene, within minutes Steve sadly passed away. Becca and her children had seen Steve pass and understandably they were all traumatised by their sudden loss. Becca contacted the EIC support team in shock and was extremely distressed. The Charity welfare team discussed the different support options available to Becca. To support Becca and help her process the unexpected loss of her husband, the EIC worked with Becca to source and fund a bereavement counsellor to support her and try to ease her distress.

Becca received 10 therapy sessions which were supportive but challenging as Becca was still in the early stages of grief. Becca since feels better equipped to cope with her still very raw loss. Her children too are coming to terms with the loss of their father and are working with Becca to try and get through this really tough period. The Charity welfare team and Becca remain in contact and Becca understands that should she need additional support the charity can help to source more therapy or signpost her to other organisations.


Sudden loss is one of life’s biggest shocks and has a huge impact on our wellbeing. Dealing with feelings of grief, distress and shock is extremely challenging. The Electrical Industries Charity can help to support you through life’s challenges. If you need support please contact support@electricalcharity.org or call 0800 652 1618

The multi-line laser units feature a rotary base with eccentric rotation mechanism, which reduces set up time, by enabling the laser body to rotate without changing the position of the defined plumb point. With a dial for fine adjustment, the vertical laser lines can also rotate around the defined plumb point by up to 10° left and right.


In addition, the pendulum operated self-levelling system, which is accurate to ± 4º, makes it simple to ensure the lasers are level, even on uneven ground. The units also feature a pendulum lock where self-levelling is not required and to protect the laser when in transit. Part of the Makita CXT platform, the compact


12Vmax batteries used in the multi-line lasers provide excellent runtimes, with up to 22 and 14 hours from a 4.0ah battery for the new red and green multi-line lasers respectively. Kevin Brannigan, marketing manager at Makita


UK, said: “The new 12Vmax CXT Multi-Line Lasers have been designed for use on a range of site layout, first- and second-fix tasks. The multi-line configuration and self-levelling mechanism makes it simple to align and layout everything from doors and windows, floors, pipework and electrical installations to tiling, lighting and kitchen and bathroom installations.”
