Operation

Initial Operation

▶ Protect the measuring tool against moisture and direct sun irradiation.
▶ Do not expose the measuring tool to extreme temperatures or variations in temperature.

Switching On and Off

To switch on the measuring tool, briefly press the On/Off button 14 or measuring button 10. When switching on the measuring tool, the laser beam is not switched on yet.

To switch off the measuring tool, press the On/Off button 14 for a few seconds.

If none of the measuring tool buttons are pressed for approx. 5 minutes, the measuring tool switches off automatically in order to extend the service life of the battery.

When a measured value has been stored, it is retained in automatic switch-off mode. When switching on the measuring tool again, "M" is indicated in the display.

Measuring Procedure

After switching on, the measuring tool is in the length measurement mode. Other measuring modes can be switched to by pressing the respective function/mode button (see "Measuring Functions", page 22).

After switching on, the rear edge of the measuring tool is preset as the reference level for the measurement. By pressing the reference level button 1, the reference level can be changed (see "Selecting the Reference Level", page 21). Upon selection of the measuring function and the reference level, all further steps are carried out by pushing the measuring button 10.

With the reference level selected, place the measuring tool against the desired measuring line (e.g. a wall).

Briefly press the measuring button 10 to switch on the laser beam.

▶ Do not point the laser beam at persons or animals and do not look into the laser beam yourself, not even from a large distance.

Aim the laser beam at the target surface. Briefly press the measuring button 10 again to initiate the measurement.

When the laser beam is switched on permanently and in the minimum and maximum measurement modes, the measurement already starts upon first actuation of the measuring button 10. In the continuous measurement mode, the measurement starts immediately upon switching on the function.

Typically, the measured value appears after 0.5 and latest after 4 seconds. The duration of the measurement depends on the distance, the light conditions and the reflection properties of the target surface. The end of the measurement is indicated by a signal tone. The laser beam is switched off automatically upon completion of the measurement.

When no measurement has taken place approx. 20 seconds after sighting, the laser beam is switched off automatically to save the batteries.

Selecting the Reference Level (see figures B–E)

For measuring, it is possible to select from four different reference levels:

  • the rear edge of the measuring tool (e.g., when placing the measuring tool flush against a wall),
  • the rear edge of the positioning pin 15 (e.g., for measurements out of corners).
  • the front edge of the measuring tool (e.g., as when measuring from the edge of a table onward),
  • the thread 17 (e.g., for measuring with the tripod).

To select the reference level, push button 1 repeatedly until the required reference level is indicated in the display. Each time after switching on, the rear edge of the measuring tool is preset as the reference level.

For length measurements, press button 5 until the indicator for length measurement – appears in the display.

BOSCH DLE 70 - Length Measurement - 1

Press the measuring button 10 once for sighting and once more to take the measurement.

The measured value is indicated at the bottom in the display.

Area Measurement

For area/surface measurements, press button 5 until the indicator for area measurement □ appears in the display.

Afterwards, measure the length and the width, one after another, in the same manner as a length measurement. The laser beam remains switched on between both measurements.

BOSCH DLE 70 - Area Measurement - 1

After taking the second measurement, the area/ surface is automatically calculated and displayed. The last individual measured value is indicated at

the bottom in the display, while the final result is shown at the top.

Volume Measurement

For volume measurements, press button 5 until the indicator for volume measurement 📋 appears in the display.

Afterwards, measure the length, width and the height, one after another, in the same manner as for a length measurement. The laser beam remains switched on between all three measurements.

BOSCH DLE 70 - Volume Measurement - 1

After taking the third measurement, the volume is automatically calculated and displayed. The last individual measured value is indicated at the bottom in the display, while the final result is shown at the top.

Values above 99999 m ^3 cannot be indicated; "Error" and "----" appear on the display. Divide the volume to be measured into individual measurements; their values can then be calculated separately and then summarized.

Minimum Measurement (see figure F)

The minimum measurement is used to determine the shortest distance from a fixed reference point. It is used, as an example, for determining plumb lines or horizontal partitions.

For minimum measurements, press button 4 until "MIN" appears in the display.

To start the measurement, briefly press the measuring button 10.

Move the laser back and forth over the requested target (e.g., the room ceiling for determining the plumb line) in such a manner that the reference point of the measurement (e.g., the tip of the positioning pin 15) always remains at the same location.

BOSCH DLE 70 - Minimum Measurement (see figure F) - 1

During the measurement, the current length measurement value is indicated at the bottom of the display. The minimum value is indicated at the top right in

the display. It is always overwritten, when the current length measurement value is lower than the present minimal value.

To end the minimum measurement, briefly press the measuring button 10. Pressing the measuring button again starts a new measurement.

Maximum Measurement (see figure G)

The maximum measurement is used to determine the greatest distance from a fixed reference point. It is used, as an example, for determining diagonals.

For maximum measurements, press button 4 until "MAX" appears in the display.

To start the measurement, briefly press the measuring button 10.

Move the laser back and forth over the requested target (e.g., the room corner for determining the diagonal) in such a manner that the reference point of the measurement (e.g., the tip of the positioning pin 15) always remains at the same location.

BOSCH DLE 70 - Maximum Measurement (see figure G) - 1

During the measurement, the current length measurement value is indicated at the bottom of the display. The minimum value is indicated at the top right in

the display. It is always overwritten, when the current length measurement value is larger than the present maximal value.

To end the maximum measurement, briefly press the measuring button 10. Pressing the measuring button again starts a new measurement.

Indirect Length Measurement (see figure H)

The indirect length measurement is used to measure distances that cannot be measured directly because an obstacle would obstruct the laser beam or no target surface is available as a reflector. Correct results are achieved only when the laser beam and the sought distance form an exact right angle (Pythagorean Theorem).

In the illustrated example, the length B is to be determined. For this purpose, A and C must be measured. A and B must form a right angle.

For indirect length measurements, press button 11 until the indicator for indirect length measurement appears in the display.

Measure the distance A as for a length measurement. Pay attention that the line segment A and the sought distance B form a right angle.

Afterwards, measure the distance C. The laser beam remains switched on between both measurements.

Pay attention that the reference point of the measurement (e.g., the rear edge of the measuring tool) is at the exact same location for both measurements.

BOSCH DLE 70 - Indirect Length Measurement (see figure H) - 1

After completing the second measurement, the distance B is calculated automatically. The last individual measured value is indicated at the bottom in the display, while the final result B is indicated at the top.

Wall Surface Measurement (see figure I)

The wall surface measurement is used to determine the sum of several individual surfaces with a common length.

In the example shown, the total surface of several walls that have the same room height A, but different lengths B, are to be determined.

For wall surface measurements, press button 11 until the indicator for wall surface measurement appears in the display.

Measure the room height A as for a length measurement. The measured value is indicated both at the top and bottom in the display. The laser remains switched on.

BOSCH DLE 70 - Wall Surface Measurement (see figure I) - 1

Afterwards, measure length B_1 of the first wall. The surface is automatically calculated and indicated. The last length measurement value is indicated at the

bottom in the display, while the surface is indicated at the top. The laser remains switched on.

BOSCH DLE 70 - Wall Surface Measurement (see figure I) - 2

Now, measure length B_2 of the second wall. The individual measuring value indicated at the bottom of the display is added to length B_1 and the sum of

both lengths is multiplied with the stored length A. The total surface value is indicated at the top in the display.

In this manner, you can measure any number of further lengths B_x , which are added and multiplied with length A.

24 | English

The condition for a correct area/surface calculation is that the first measured length (in the example the room height A) is identical for all partial surfaces.

To restart the wall surface measurement, press button 11 twice.

Continuous Measurement (Tracking) (see figure J)

The continuous measurement function (tracking) is used for the transferring of measurements, e.g., from construction plans. In continuous measurement mode, the measuring tool can be moved relative to the target, whereby the measured value is updated approx. every 0.5 seconds. As an example, the user can move from a wall to the required distance, while the actual distance can be read continuously.

For continuous measurements, first select the length measuring function and then press button 10 until the indicator for continuous measurement--appears on the display. The laser is switched on and the measurement starts immediately.

BOSCH DLE 70 - Continuous Measurement (Tracking) (see figure J) - 1

Move the measuring tool until the required distance value is indicated in the bottom of the display.

Briefly pressing button 10 ends the continuous measurement. The last meas-

ured value is indicated at the bottom in the display. Pressing button 10 for several seconds restarts a continuous measuring run.

The continuous measuring automatically switches off after 5 min. The last measured value remains indicated in the display.

Deleting Measured Values

Briefly pressing button 14 deletes the last individual measuring value determined in all measuring functions. Briefly pressing the button repeatedly deletes the individual measured values in reverse order.

In the wall surface measurement mode, briefly pressing button 14 the first time deletes the last individually measured value; pressing the button a second time deletes all lengths B_x .

Memory Functions

When switching off the measuring tool, the value in the memory is retained.

In the wall surface measurement mode, the total surface value can be stored; in the minimum and maximum measuring mode, the minimum and maximum value can be stored correspondingly. Storing individual measuring values within these functions is not possible.

Storing/Adding Measured Values

BOSCH DLE 70 - Storing/Adding Measured Values - 1

Push the memory add button 3 in order to store the current measured value – a length, area or volume value, depending on the current measuring function.

As soon as a value has been stored, "M" is indicated in the display and the "+" behind it briefly flashes.

If a value is already stored in the memory, the new value is added to the memory contents, however, only when the measures of unit correspond.

As an example, when an area value is in the memory and the current measured value is a volume value, the addition cannot take place.

"Error" briefly flashes in the display.

Subtracting Measured Values

Push the memory subtraction button 12 in order to subtract the current measured value from the memory value. As soon as a value has been subtracted, "M" is indicated in the display and the "-" behind it briefly flashes.

If a value is already stored in the memory, the new measured value can be subtracted only when the measures of unit correspond (see "Storing/Adding Measured Values").

Displaying the Stored Value

BOSCH DLE 70 - Displaying the Stored Value - 1

Push the memory retrieve button 2 in order to display the value stored in the memory. "M=" is indicated in the display. When the memory contents "M=" is

indicated in the display, it can be doubled by pushing the memory add button 3 or set to zero by pushing the memory subtract button 12.

Deleting the Memory

To delete the memory contents, first push the memory retrieve button 2, so that "M=" is indicated in the display. Then briefly press button 14; "M" is no longer indicated in the display.

Working Advice

General Information

The reception lens 22 and the laser beam outlet 21 must not be covered when taking a measurement.

The measuring tool must not be moved while taking a measurement (with the exception of the continuous measurement function and the minimum/maximum measurement). Therefore, place the measuring tool, as far as this is possible, against or on the measuring points.

Measurement takes place at the centre of the laser beam, even when target surfaces are sighted at an incline.

Influence Effects on the Measuring Range

The measuring range depends upon the light conditions and the reflection properties of the target surface. For improved visibility of the laser beam when working outdoors and when the sunlight is intense, use the laser viewing glasses 24 (accessory) and the laser target plate 25 (accessory), or shade off the target surface.

Influence Effects on the Measuring Result

Due to physical effects, faulty measurements cannot be excluded when measuring on different surfaces. Included here are:

  • Transparent surfaces (e.g., glass, water),
  • Reflecting surfaces (e.g., polished metal, glass),
  • Porous surfaces (e.g. insulation materials),
  • Structured surfaces (e.g., roughcast, natural stone).

If required, use the laser target plate 25 (accessory) on these surfaces.

Also, air layers with varying temperatures or indirectly received reflections can affect the measured value.

Measuring with the Positioning Pin (see figures C, F and G)

The positioning pin 15 is suitable for measuring out of corners (diagonal within a space) or from hard to reach areas, such as from roller-shutter rails.

Slide the latch 16 of the positioning pin sideward in order to swivel out the pin.

Set the corresponding reference level for measurements with the positioning pin by pushing button 1.

The positioning pin 15 swivels back in again by pushing it toward the housing to the stop. The pin automatically locks in place.

Aligning with the Spirit Level

The spirit level 6 allows for simple levelling of the measuring tool. This allows for easier sighting of target surfaces, especially over longer distances. In combination with the laser beam, the spirit level 6 is not suitable for levelling.

Sighting with the Alingment Aid (see figure K)

With the alignment aid 8, sighting over larger distances is a lot easier. For this, look alongside the aligning aid on the top side of the measuring tool. The laser beam runs parallel to this line of sight.

Working with the Tripod (Accessory)

The use of a tripod is particularly necessary for larger distances. Position the measuring tool with the 1/4" thread 17 onto the quick-change plate of the tripod 23 or a commercially available camera tripod. Tighten the measuring tool with the locking screw of the quick-change plate.

Set the corresponding reference level for measurement with a tripod by pushing button 1 (the reference level is the thread).

The measuring tool monitors the correct function for each measurement. When a defect is determined, only the symbol shown aside flashes in the display. In this case, or when the above men-

tioned corrective measures cannot correct an error, have the measuring tool checked by an after-sales service agent for Bosch power tools.

Accuracy Check of the Measuring Tool

The accuracy of the measuring tool can be checked as follows:

  • Select a permanently unchangeable measuring section with a length of approx. 3 to 10 metres; its length must be precisely known (e.g. the width of a room or a door opening). The measuring distance must be indoors; the target surface for the measurement must be smooth and reflect well.
  • Measure the distance 10 times after another.

The measuring error must not amount to more than a maximum of ± 2.0 mm. Keep a record of the measurements in order to compare the accuracy at a later time.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning

Store and transport the measuring tool only in the supplied protective case.

Keep the measuring tool clean at all times.

Do not immerse the measuring tool into water or other fluids.

Wipe off debris using a moist and soft cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents or solvents.

Maintain the reception lens 22 in particular, with the same care as required for eye glasses or the lens of a camera.

If the measuring tool should fail despite the care taken in manufacturing and testing procedures, repair should be carried out by an authorized after-sales service centre for Bosch power tools.

In all correspondence and spare parts orders, please always include the 10-digit article number given on the type plate of the measuring tool.

In case of repairs, send in the measuring tool packed in its protective case 27.
