Safety Instructions

DANGER: Laser Radiation, avoid direct eye exposure, serious eye injury can result.

• Do not use optical tools such as a telescope or transit to view the laser

beam.

• Position the laser so unintentional eye contact will be avoided.

• Do not operate the laser around children or allow children to operate the

laser.

• Do not disassemble. Modifying the product in any way can increase the risk

of laser radiation.

WARNING: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those

specified in this manual may result in hazardous laser radiation exposure.

• Do not operate in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids,

gases, or dust.

• Use only with the specifically designated batteries. Use of any other batteries may create a

risk of fire.

• Store idle product out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Lasers are

dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

• Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.

Accessories that may be suitable for one laser, may create a risk of injury when used on

another laser.

• Repairs and servicing MUST be performed by a qualified repair facility. Repairs performed

by unqualified personnel could result in serious injury.

• Do not remove or deface warning labels. Removing labels increases the risk of exposure

to radiation.

• For indoor use only.

• This product is intended for use in a temperature range of 41°F(5°C) - 104°F(40°C).

WARNING: Shock Hazard. Always turn off power when working near electrical wires.

Drilling into or touching live wires can result in severe injury or death.

CAUTION: Material thickness, type of material, moisture content, and other variables

can effect sensing results. The sensor may detect electric wiring or pipes in the same

manner that studs are detected depending on their location to the wall surface. Use

caution when drilling, nailing or cutting into walls, floors and ceilings which may contain

electrical wiring or pipes. These items may be detected by the Stud Sensor in the same

manner in which studs are detected. Because studs are normally spaced 16 inches (406

mm) or 24 inches (610 mm) apart and are usually 1-1/2 inches (38 mm) wide, beware of

anything closer together or of a different width.

Liquid Crystal Display (First Aid Measures)

• If liquid crystal comes in contact with your skin:

Wash area off completely with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing.

• If liquid crystal gets into your eye:

Flush the affected eye with clean water and then seek medical attention.

• If liquid crystal is swallowed:

Flush your mouth thoroughly with water. Drink large quantities of water and induce

vomiting. Then seek medical attention.

Battery Cautions Cont’d.

• Do not short battery terminals.

• Do not charge batteries.

• Remove dead battery immediately and dispose of per local codes.

• Do not dispose of batteries in fire.

• Keep batteries out of reach of children.

• Remove battery if the device will not be used for several months.

Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals inadvertently come in

contact with conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like. The US

Department of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit

transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes (i.e. packed in suitcases and carryon

luggage) UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits. So when transporting

individual batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and well insulated from

materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.

Weak Battery Indicator

The upper left portion of the LCD screen will display a low battery symbol (Figure 1) when a

weak battery is detected. As the battery continues to weaken, the low battery indicator and the

detection mode will no longer display on the screen.

Operating Instructions

Measuring Length

1.) Move slide switch (E) to DISTANCE MEASUREMENT position (far right)

2.) Slide the on/off switch to the “ON” position, press “READ” button taking one

measurement to activate the unit.

3.) Press the “FT/M” button to select feet / inch units or metric measurement units as shown

in Figure 2.

4.) Press the “SET” button (for obtaining true wall to wall distance) to select measurement

from the front edge of the unit, back edge of the unit or at 90° to the unit see Figure 3.

5.) Point the unit perpendicular to the target and and press the “READ” button located on

either side of the unit. Use the laser pointer to insure that the unit is pointed at the object

that you want to measure for distance.

6.) When the distance is out of the detection range (2 feet to 50 feet / 61cm to 15 meters)

the unit will beep and display “E” for error.

7.) When the distance is within the detection range, the unit will beep and display the

distance for 15 seconds.

8.) Slide the on/off switch to the “OFF” position to turn the unit off.

9.) For “Continuous Measurement” operation, press and hold the “READ” button and walk

toward or away from the point being measured.

Adding, Subtracting and Multiplying Measurements

Adding

1.) After taking first measurement (or recalling measurement from memory by pressing the

“RCL” button), press the “+” button as shown in Figure 4 to add distances. Take the sec-

ond measurement then press the “=” button to get the total.

Subtracting

2.) After taking first measurement (or recalling measurement from memory by pressing the

“RCL” button), press the “-” button as shown in Figure 5 to subtract distances. Take the

second measurement then press the “=” button to get the total.

Multiplying

3.) After taking first measurement (or recalling measurement from memory by pressing the

“RCL” button), press the “x” button as shown in Figure 6 to multiply distances or obtain

the Area (Square Footage). Take the second measurement then press the “=” button to

get the total area or press “x” again and “=” to take a third measurement and calculate

Volume (Cubic Feet).

Notes:

• When using unit at a 90° angle be sure to fully lock the measurer into the 90° position as

shown in Figure 7. Not having the measurer at a full 90° will result in an inaccurate reading.

• For accuracy purposes, avoid moving after pressing the read button until the distance is

displayed.

• The measured object must have a flat hard surface and be in an open space void of any

obstacles in the measurement path in order to obtain accurate results.

• Distance detection may be sometimes affected by the environment. To insure a correct

reading repeat the detection until you get at least two of the same readings within three attempts.

• The LCD screen will go blank after 15 seconds of inactivity.

• The measurer cannot measure distance through glass.

• The laser is used to locate where the tool is pointed and is only “ON” when a measurement is

being taken.

DANGER: Laser Radiation, avoid direct eye exposure.

Scanning

Stud Mode

For stud sensing through up to 3/4 inches (19mm) thick drywall.

1.) Move slide switch (E) to STUD position (far left). Slide the on/off switch (F) to the “ON”

position. Hold unit straight up and down and place flat against wall as shown in Figure 8.

Press in on either of the read buttons (D) and continue holding in button.

2.) The unit will beep once while it is calibrating and will display the stud symbol on the

LCD screen.

3.) Slide unit slowly, Figure 9, across surface of wall without lifting or tilting. When a stud is

detected the LCD screen will begin to display a row of black boxes , slow down

and keep sliding until the beep sounds as shown in Figure 10. Mark this spot at the

middle of the unit.

4.) Continue holding button in and scan beyond the marked spot until the row of black boxes

disappears. Without releasing button, reverse direction to locate the other edge of the

stud. When the unit beeps again mark the spot. Center of stud is between two marks.

Metal Mode

For metal sensing through up to 2 inches (50mm) thick drywall.

1.) Move slide switch (E) to METAL position (middle left). Hold unit in air away from metal

objects. Slide the on/off switch (F) to the “ON” position. Scan both horizontally and

vertically against wall as shown in Figure 11. Press in on either of the read buttons (D)

and continue holding in button.

2.) The unit will beep once while it is calibrating and will display the metal symbol on the

LCD screen.

3.) Slide unit slowly, across surface of wall without lifting or tilting. When a metal object is

detected the LCD screen will begin to display a row of black boxes , slow down and

keep sliding until the LCD screen displays a full row of boxes and the beep sounds as

shown in Figure 10. Mark this spot at the middle of the unit.

Note: Because metal pipes or objects can be oriented both vertically and

horizontally behind a wall, you should scan both vertically and horizontally as

shown in Figure 11.

AC Wire Mode

For AC Wire sensing through up to 2 inches (50mm) thick drywall.

1.) Move slide switch (E) to the AC WIRE position (middle right). Hold unit in air away from

any electrical wiring. Slide the on/off switch (F) to the “ON” position.

2.) The unit will beep once while it is calibrating and will display the electrical symbol on

the LCD screen.

3.) Slide unit slowly, across surface of wall without lifting or tilting as shown in Figure 12.

When an AC voltage is detected the LCD screen will begin to display a row of black

boxes , slow down and keep sliding until the LCD screen displays a full row of boxes

and the beep sounds. Mark this spot.

The sensor detects AC voltage and will identify only “live” wires. If the unit is calibrated close

to AC wire, it may decrease AC wiring sensor sensitivity. Static charge may spread detection

12 inch (30.4cm) on both sides of wire.

WARNING: Occasionally, pipes and electrical wiring may not be detected by this

product. Observe caution when cutting or drilling into areas that may contain concealed

pipes or wiring. The sensor will not detect live wires inside metal pipe or metal conduit,

behind metallic wall covering, or behind some plywood or other dense materials.

Use caution if area has plywood, thick wood backing behind drywall, or thicker than normal walls.
