Working Advice
Always use the centre of the laser point for marking. The size of the laser point
u
changes with the distance.
Working with the Tripod (Accessory)
A tripod offers a stable, height-adjustable support surface for measuring. Place the
measuring tool with the 1/4" tripod mount (4) on the thread of the tripod (11) or a con-
ventional camera tripod. Tighten the measuring tool using the locking screw of the tri-
pod.
Roughly align the tripod before switching on the measuring tool.
Attaching using the magnetic rotating mount (see figures A–B)
You can secure the measuring tool to magnetisable materials using the integrated mag-
netic rotating mount (3).
Keep your fingers away from the rear side of the magnetic rotating mount while
u
attaching the rotating mount to surfaces. The strong pulling force of the
magnets (7) may jam your fingers.
Roughly align the magnetic rotating mount (3) before switching on the measuring tool.
Rotate the measuring tool on the magnetic rotating mount (3) to make the bottom laser
point visible or to project heights with the horizontal laser point. If you switch off and
transport the measuring tool, click it back into place on the rotating mount (see figure B).
Laser Goggles (Accessory)
The laser goggles filter out ambient light. This makes the light of the laser appear brighter
to the eye.
Do not use the laser goggles (accessory) as protective goggles. The laser goggles
u
make the laser beam easier to see; they do not protect you against laser radiation.
Do not use the laser goggles (accessory) as sunglasses or while driving. The laser
u
goggles do not provide full UV protection and impair your ability to see colours.
Example applications (see figures C–E)
Examples of possible applications for the measuring tool can be found on the graphics
pages.
