Do not replace a laser diode with a different type. If damaged, have the laser repaired by an authorised repair agent. ◆ Do not use the laser for any purpose other than identifying surfaces for measurement ◆ An exposure of the eye to the beam of a class 1 laser is considered safe for a maximum of 0.25 seconds. Eyelid reflexes will normally provide adequate protection. ◆ Never look into the laser beam directly and intentionally. ◆ Do not use optical tools to view the laser beam. ◆ Do not set up the tool at a position where the laser beam can cross any person at head height. ◆ Do not let children come near the laser. ◆ Warning!

Assembly Fitting the battery (fig. B) ◆ Remove the battery cover (7) from the tool. ◆ Connect the battery to the connector. The larger battery terminal connects to the smaller connector terminal. ◆ Refit the cover and let it click into place. Use Setting the tool (fig. A, C & E) The tool can show the results measured from either the front (18) or the back (19). ◆ To switch from one measurement method to the other, press key (8). Setting the measuring head (fig. E) ◆ Turn the measuring head. Do not set the head at intermediate angels, as this will lead to inaccurate results. Selecting the measurement system (fig. A & D) The appliance can show the results both in the metrical (16) and the imperial system (17). ◆ To switch from one measurement system to the other, press key (9). Memory function (fig. A & D) The use of the memory function (20) is indicated on the display. ◆ Press key (14) to store the value on the display in the memory. The value remains stored as long as the appliance is switched on. ◆ Press key (14) again to clear the memory. Switching on and off (fig. B) ◆ To switch the tool on, slide the on/off switch (1) to postion I. ◆ To switch the tool off, slide the on/off switch to position 0. Measuring (fig. A) ◆ Hold the tool at the required position with the measuring head aimed at the opposite surface. ◆ Press key (5). The result appears on the display (4). Note: - During a measurement the laser dot helps identifying the opposite surface. - After 15 seconds of inactivity the LCD screen will go blank. The last measurement data will not be retrieved unless it has been stored in the memory. Measuring distances (fig. A) ◆ Measure the first distance ◆ Press key (12). ◆ Measure the following distance. ◆ Repeat the previous instruction as many times as required for the remaining distances. ◆ Press key (15). The result appears on the display (4). Measuring areas (fig. A) ◆ Measure the length. ◆ Press key (11). ◆ Measure the width. ◆ Press key (15). The result appears on the display (4) in square units. Measuring volumes (fig. A) ◆ Measure the length. ◆ Press key (11). ◆ Measure the width. ◆ Press key (11). ◆ Measure the height. ◆ Press key (15). The result appears on the display (4) in cubic units. Hints for optimum use ◆ Use the tool only in an open space, without obstacles in the measuring path. ◆ During a measurement avoid moving the tool until the distance is displayed. ◆ To ensure a correct reading, repeat the measurement until you get at least 2 of the same readings within 3 attempts. ◆ For successful measuring results, consider the following conditions: - The measured object surface must be flat and hard. - Distance measuring through glass is not possible. - When the distance is out of the work range, the tool will beep and register an error. Low battery indicator (fig. D) The LCD screen will display a low battery symbol (21) when the battery is nearly empty. ◆ Replace the battery on time.5 ENGLISH Cleaning and maintenance Your Black & Decker tool has been designed to operate over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance.
