Stud Detection
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY AND
ELECTROCUTION:
Turn off all circuits with wires
inside the wall before working.
Depending on the proximity of
electrical wiring or pipes to the wall
surface, the scanner may detect
them in the same manner as studs.
Use caution when nailing, cutting, or
drilling in walls, floors, and ceilings
that may contain these items.
Studs or joists are normally spaced
16″ or 24″ apart and are 1-1/2″ wide.
Anything closer together or of
a different width may not be
a stud, joist, or firebreak.
1. Slide the Switch to the
“STUD” position.
2. Hold the detector flat against the
wall. Press and hold Power Button.
3. The Power LED lights when the
detector is ready to operate.
4. Slowly slide unit horizontally
across wall, left to right. Keep the
unit base in contact with the wall.
The Stud LED lights and the unit
starts emitting a steady tone when
it detects the edge of a stud.
When that happens, mark the spot
over the top center of the detector.
