• All instructions must be read and observed in order to work safely with the measuring tool

• If the equipment is used in a manner not specied by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired

• Never make warning signs on the measuring tool unrecognisable

• -The use of other operating or adjusting equipment or the application of other processing methods than those mentioned here can lead to dangerous radiation exposure

• Do not direct the laser beam at persons or animals and do not stare into the direct or reected laser beam yourself, not even from a distance (you could blind somebody, cause accidents or damage your eyes)

• If laser radiation strikes your eye, you must deliberately close your eyes and immediately turn your head away from the beam

• Do not make any modications to the laser equipment

• Have the measuring tool repaired only through qualied specialists using original spare parts (this ensures that the safety of the measuring tool is maintained)

• Do not allow children to use the laser measuring tool without supervision (they could unintentionally blind other persons or themselves)

• Do not operate the measuring tool in explosive environments, such as in the presence of ammable liquids, gases or dusts (sparks can

Laser measure 1928/1929 INTRODUCTION

• This tool is intended for measuring distances indoors as well as outdoors by means of laser beam projection

• This tool is intended for measuring distances without a projection target or on curved surfaces with the measuring wheel (1929)

• The measuring tool is suitable exclusively for operation in enclosed working sites

• This tool is not intended for professional use

• Save these instructions for future reference and include them with the measuring tool when giving it to a third party TECHNICAL DATA Distance measuring range* 0.2-25m (1928) 0.2-30m (1929) Distance measuring accuracy* ± 3mm Smallest measuring unit 0.001m Operating temperature 0°C to 40°C Storage temperature -20°C to +70°C Relative humidity (max.) 90% Laser class 2 Laser type 635nm, <1 mW Battery 2x 1.5V AAA (LR03) alkaline Weight 0.075 kg (excl. battery) Dimensions (length x width x height) 114 x 43 x 23

• Important: under unfavourable conditions (e.g. in bright light, or poor reection) the tool’s measuring range and accuracy will be reduced7 - with the laser beam activated, aim the laser at the target - this mode can be used to move the tool relative to the target and the continuously updated distance is displayed - when the display shows only dashes, the measurement cannot be made (see APPLICATION ADVICE for possible causes)

- press the main button H to stop the measurement and save the current value

! keep in mind that the tool measures from its rear (the tool length is included in the measuring result) - press main button H to activate laser and start a consecutive measurement; press main button H again to stop and save the measurement (up to 2 measurements can be displayed)

• Wheel measuring mode (1929)

- press the side button to enter wheel measuring mode (see blinking wheel indicator) - use wheel to measure (see rotating wheel indicator) - the wheel can be used forwards and backwards - when changing direction during measurement, the measured value will be deducted and even be negative if you cross the starting point again ! try to hold the tool in a consistent angle and keep a steady pressure to get to most accurate measurement - press side button G quickly twice to restart the measurement

- press main button H to stop the measurement (see wheel indicator) and save the measurement - press main button H to start a consecutive measurement; press main button H again to stop and save the measurement (up to 2 measurements can be displayed) - press side button G again to return to laser measurement mode

- press main button H quickly twice to calculate and show the area from the last 2 measurements be created in the measuring tool which may ignite the dust or fumes)

Read the instruction manual before use

Do not dispose of electric tools and batteries together with household waste material

Laser radiation / Do not stare into beam / Class 2 laser product USE

- alkali-manganese batteries are recommended for the measuring tool - do not use rechargeable batteries - to open the battery lid D, press on the latch E and fold the battery lid up - insert 2 x AAA batteries (pay attention to correct polarisation) - always replace all batteries at the same time - only use batteries from one brand and with the identical capacity - close battery lid D - remove the batteries from the measuring tool when not using it for extended periods (when storing for extended periods, the batteries can corrode and self-discharge)

- during use the battery level indicator on the display indicates the remaining battery capacity

• On/o - press side button G to turn on the tool - press and hold side button G for 1 second to turn o the tool

- press and hold main button H for 1 second to change the measurement unit (feet, feet/inch, or meter)

• Laser measuring mode - when you turn on the tool, it will enter laser measuring mode with the laser turned o (see indicator)

- press main button H to turn on the laser (see blinking laser indicator)

• Keep the measuring tool clean at all times

• Do not immerse the measuring tool in water or other uids

• Wipe o debris using a moist and soft cloth

• Do not use any cleaning agents or solvents

• Regularly clean the surfaces at the exit opening of the laser in particular, and pay attention to any u of bres

• If the tool should fail despite the care taken in manufacturing and testing procedures, repair should be carried out by an after-sales service centre for SKIL power tools - send the tool undismantled together with proof of purchase to your dealer or the nearest SKIL service station (addresses as well as the service diagram of the tool are listed on www.skil.com)

• Be aware that damage due to overload or improper handling of the tool will be excluded from the warranty (for the SKIL warranty conditions see www.skil.com or ask your dealer) ENVIRONMENT

• Do not dispose of electric tools, batteries, accessories and packaging together with household waste material (only for EU countries) - in observance of European Directive 2012/19/EC on waste of electric and electronic equipment and its implementation in accordance with national law, electric tools that have reached the end of their life must be collected separately and returned to an environmentally compatible recycling facility - symbol

will remind you of this when the need for disposing occurs

• Faulty measurements cannot be excluded when measuring to dierent surfaces; the problematic surfaces are: - transparent surfaces (e.g., glass, water) - reective surfaces (e.g., polished metal, glass) - porous surface (e.g., insulation materials) - structured surfaces (e.g., roughcast, natural stone) If required, use piece of paper or a laser target plate (not included) on these surfaces

• Other possible causes for faulty measurement: - the measurement took place outside the measuring range - the angle between laser beam and target was too small - the reception lens B or the laser beam opening A was misted up (e.g. due to a rapid temperature change)

• Air layers with varying temperatures or indirectly received reections can aect the measured value MAINTENANCE / SERVICE

• This tool is not intended for professional use

• Protect the measuring tool against moisture and direct sun light

• Do not subject the measuring tool to extreme temperatures or variations in temperature (the accuracy of the measuring tool can be impaired) - as an example, do not leave it in vehicles for long time - allow the measuring tool to adjust to the ambient temperature before putting it into operation
