Operation
Initial Operation
Protect the measuring tool against moisture and direct sun light.
Do not subject the measuring tool to extreme temperatures or vari-
ations in temperature. As an example, do not leave it in vehicles for a
long time. In case of large variations in temperature, allow the measur-
ing tool to adjust to the ambient temperature before putting it into oper-
ation. In case of extreme temperatures or variations in temperature, the
accuracy of the measuring tool can be impaired.
The contact surfaces and contact edges of the measuring tool must
be clean. Protect the measuring tool against impact and shock.
Debris particles or deformations can lead to faulty measurements.
Switching On and Off
To switch on the measuring tool, press the "On/Off" button 11. Once
switched on, the measuring tool is in "normal measuring mode".
To switch off the measuring tool, press the "On/Off" button 11.
When no activity is performed on the measuring tool for approx. 5 minutes,
the measuring tool automatically switches off to save the batteries.
Aligning with the Spirit Levels
The measuring tool can be aligned horizontally with spirit level 5 and verti-
cally with spirit level 6.
The measuring tool can also be used as a carpenter's spirit level for check-
ing vertical and horizontal lines. For this, place or hold the measuring tool
against the surface subject to checking.
"Normal Measuring Mode"
After switching on, the measuring tool is always in normal measuring mode.
Measuring Angles (see figures C – E)
Place the fold-out leg 1 and the base leg 3 flat on the surfaces adjacent to
the angle. The displayed measuring value a corresponds with the interior
angle w between the base leg and the fold-out leg.
This measured value is shown on the display 4 until you change the angle
between fold-out leg 1 and base leg 3.
