Product Information
Full details
The Stabila Type 80 T Telescopic Spirit Level is designed for professional builders, carpenters, and installers who require a versatile measuring tool that can adjust to specific installation spaces. Its key benefit is the innovative telescopic body that expands from 63 cm to 105 cm, allowing for precise leveling across varying widths, though users should note that the accuracy tolerance changes slightly when the tool is fully extended compared to its closed position.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Stabila Type 80 T, always clean the telescopic rails after working in dusty or debris-heavy environments to prevent grit from entering the locking mechanism.
- Adjustment: Unlock the mechanism using the side lock, slide to the desired length, and snap the lock shut firmly.
- Calibration: Periodically check the vials by placing the level on a known level surface, noting the bubble position, and reversing the level 180 degrees to confirm consistency.
- Storage: Store the level in its closed position to protect the telescopic slide from accidental damage during transit.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the aluminum profile with a dry or slightly damp cloth; avoid using harsh chemical solvents that might damage the vial housings or marking scale.
