Description
The ROBERT BOSCH TOOL GROUP GLL50-20 is a self-leveling cross-line laser designed for interior layout, alignment, and leveling tasks across commercial and residential jobsites. It projects both a horizontal and vertical red laser line simultaneously in cross-line mode, delivering a leveling accuracy of 5/16 inches at 30 feet across a working range of up to 50 feet. Power options include standard AA batteries or an optional 3.7-volt Lithium-Ion 1.0 Ah battery that supports use while charging. The unit carries an IP 55 rating for dust and water resistance, making it suitable for demanding site conditions. Electricians, plumbers, tile setters, and general contractors are the primary installers.
The GLL50-20 is suited for interior finish work, mechanical rough-in layout, partition framing, and fixture alignment in both residential and light commercial settings. The cross-line projection allows a single technician to establish level and plumb references simultaneously without a second set of hands. Tilting the unit manually disengages the leveling mode so lines can be projected at custom angles, expanding its use for stair stringers, sloped soffits, or angled installations.

Installation Notes
Installation and setup is typically performed by electricians, plumbers, or general tradespeople. Before use, ensure the mounting surface or tripod is stable and rated for the unit weight. Power down or remove batteries before transporting the unit to prevent pendulum damage. Verify the leveling indicator is steady and not blinking before recording any reference lines.
