in the summary line between the stake out point
(first a and then b) and the instrument (rear refer-
ence).
If the Makita LD100P is then moved slowly along the
stake out line the displayed distance decreases. The
instrument starts to beep at a distance of 0.1m from
the next stake out point.
The arrows in the display indicate in which direc-
tion the Makita LD100P needs to be moved in order
to achieve the defined distance (either a or b). As
soon as the stake out point is reached the beep
changes and the intermediate line starts to flash.
The function can be stopped at any time by pressing
the button.
Indirect measurement
The instrument can calculate distances using Pythag-
oras’ theorem.
)
Make sure you adhere to the prescribed
sequence of measurement:
• All target points must be in a horizontal or vertical
plane.
• The best results are achieved when the instru-
ment is rotated about a fixed point (e.g. with the
positioning bracket fully folded out and the
instrument placed on a wall).
• The minimum/maximum function can be used -
see explanation in "Measuring -> Minimum/
maximum measurement". The minimum value
must be used for measurements at right angles to
the target; the maximum distance for all other
measurements.
)
Make sure that the first measurement and the
distance to be measured are at right angles.
Use the Minimum/maximum function, as
explained in "Measuring ->
Minimum/maximum measurement".
Indirect measurement - determining a dis-
tance using 2 auxilliary measurements
See figure {

}
e.g. for measuring building heights or widths. It is
helpful to use a tripod when measuring heights that
require the measurement of two or three measure-
ments.
Press this button
once
, the display shows .
The laser is switched on.
Aim at the upper point (1) and trigger the
measurement. After the first measurement the value is
adopted. Keep the instrument as horizontal as possible.
Press and hold down this button to trigger
continuous measurement, sweep the laser back and
forth and up and down over the ideal target point.
