Holding it vertically, lightly move the SANUS Magnetic Stud Finder up and down while sliding across your wall. The magnet within will be attracted to the screws in the stud.

Once the magnet has landed on a screw, place a pencil mark on the wall directly below the magnet.

You can verify this is a stud by moving the Magnetic Stud Finder up or down to find a second or third screw within the wall.

acepln 1.5V 20.20mA

Pull apart the SANUS Magnetic Stud Finder to expose the probing pin within. Starting about y_2 inch away from the first pencil mark insert the probing pin into the wall every 1/8 inch until it inserts completely into the wall. Once that happens, you know you've found one edge of your stud. Repeat this process till you have found the stud edges and center of the stud.
