radiation!

CAUTION LASER RADIATION! DO NOT STARE INTO BEAM! CLASS 2 LASER PRODUCT!

• Never look directly into the laser beam or into the opening from which it emerges.

WARNING! Looking at a laser beam through optical instruments (e.g. magnifying glasses etc.) can cause eye injuries.

■ ATTENTION! If operating and adjustment equipment is used or procedures other than those specified here are carried out, this may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

• Never aim the laser beam at reflective surfaces, people or animals. Even brief visual contact with a laser beam can result in eye injuries.

mmetre

in inch

ft foot/feet

feet/inches

- Measuring lengths

• Briefly press the MEAS button 4 again to activate the laser beam. Once the laser is switched on, this is indicated on the top left corner of the display by the icon 7.

Note: If laser beam is already activated, the above mentioned step can be skipped.

Now aim the laser at the target point. Briefly press the MEAS button again. If the measurement is successful the measured value will be shown on the bottom line of the display and the laser beam will be turned off.

If needed to measure another distance, repeat above steps.
Newly measured value will be shown on the bottom line of the display and the previous measured value will be shown in the middle of the display. Now, the laser beam will be turned off.
