SANUS MAGNETIC STUD FINDER

Designed to find your studs and make life easier—included in hardware kit.

        D -->|Rightward Arrow| E["Section 3"]
    end

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.

Step 2 10.50 30.50 30.50

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.

WARNING: This product contains a magnet. If an implanted medical device such as a pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is in use, magnetic fields may affect the operation of those devices, resulting in serious injury or death. If you have an implanted medical device, keep at least 13 cm (5in.) between your device and the magnet. Please consult with your physician or medical professional prior to using this product.
