Laser TransmitterLaser Transmitter
The laser transmitter The laser transmitter sends a self leveled 360 sends a self leveled 360 degree continuous laser degree continuous laser from a tripod in the from a tripod in the middle of the site a middle of the site a person is digging. The person is digging. The laser is projected at the laser is projected at the plane or slope desired plane or slope desired for the dig. for the dig.
