fitted to the underside of the tool (battery compartment)
but is not detected automatically when in this position.
When the spike is folded back in or the tool is switched
off, the measuring reference is always reset to the rear
edge of the tool. The currently selected measuring refer-
ence is indicated by the green LEDs and the measuring
reference symbol in the display.
