POSITIONING THE MEASURING TOOL
WORK EXAMPLES
WORKING ON A FLOOR WITH L-EDGE (Fig. 2)
WORKING ON A FLOOR WITH T-EDGE (Fig. 1)
1. Place down the measuring tool with the base plate (11)
facing the floor.
2. Place the T-edge for alignment (5) against a wall so that the
0° laser line runs parallel to the reference line (e.g. a wall).
LAYING OF SQUARE TILES (Fig. 1)
Position the measuring tool in a corner in such a manner that
the 0° laser line runs parallel to a wall and the T-edge of the
measuring tool faces against the wall. Lay the first square tile in
such a manner that any right-angled side of the tile is seated
flush on the 0° and the 90° laser line.
LAYING FROM EDGE (Fig. 2)
Position the measuring tool with the L-edge facing against the
edge from which on you want to lay the tiles. The 90° laser line
should run parallel to this edge. The 0° laser line now marks the
bottom tile row.
This laser distance measure has been designed to be a
low-maintenance tool. However, in order to maintain its
performance, you must always follow these simple directions.
1. Always handle the tool with care. Treat it as an optical device,
such as a camera or binoculars.
2. Avoid exposing the tool to shock, continuous vibration or
extreme hot or cold temperature.
3. Always store the tool indoors. When not in use, ALWAYS store
the tool in its protective case.
4. Always Keep the tool free of dust and liquids. Use only a clean,
soft cloth for cleaning. If necessary, slightly moisten the cloths
with pure alcohol or a little water.
5. Do not touch the lens with your fingers.
6. Check the batteries regularly to avoid deterioration.
ALWAYS
remove the batteries from the tool, if it is not going to be used
for an extended period of time.
7. Replace the batteries when the battery icon is continuously
empty displayed on the LCD.
8. Do not disassemble the laser measuring tool; this will expose
the user to hazardous radiation exposure.
9. Do not attempt to change any part of the laser lens.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
MAINTENANCE
WORKING ADVICE
1. Place down the measuring tool with the base plate facing the
floor.
2. Place the L-edge for alignment (7) against an edge so that
the 0° laser line runs on the extended line of one side of the
edge and the 90° laser line runs parallel to the edge of
another side.
WORKING ON A WALL (Fig. 3)
1. Fasten the wall mount plate (11) to the wall with screw.
2. Attach the measuring tool with the magnets (6) to the wall
mount plate.
3. Rotate the measuring tool while referring spirit levels for
vertical and horizontal alignment (3) so that 0° laser line runs
vertically and the 90° laser line runs horizontally.
Switch the measuring tool off during transport. When
switching off, the leveling unit, which can be damaged in case
of intense movement, is locked.
To switch on the measuring tool, press the On/Off switch (1)
Immediately after switching on, the measuring tool projects two
laser lines at 0° and 90°.
To
switch off the measuring tool, press the On/Off switch again.
TILE LAYING IN KITCHENETTS (Fig. 3)
Firstly, determine the height at which the first tile row is
supposed to begin. Attach the measuring tool vertically to the
wall so that the 90° laser line displays the bottom edge of the
first tile row.
Always place the measuring tool level on the floor or
fasten it plane against the wall. When placing down or
fastening unevenly, the angle will not be precisely 90 °.
Always use the centre of the laser line for marking. The
width of the laser line changes with the distance.
Never use the laser lines that the measuring tool standing
on the floor projects on the wall for alignment.
The
measuring tool is not self-leveling. Therefore, the line on the
wall is distorted.
The reference point for alignment of tiles is the
intersecting point P of the laser lines, directly in front of
the measuring tool. To project an angle, the measuring
tool must be rotated at this intersecting point. (Fig. 4)
Position the measuring tool only on a clean wall mount
plate.
The measuring tool cannot stand level on an uneven, soiled
wall holder surface, which could lead to faulty measuring results.
For marking, always use only the centre of the laser point or the
laser line. The size of the laser point as well as the width of the
laser line may vary on different working distance.
If spirit level leaks, soak up with appropriate absorbent
material and dispose of safely. Spirit levels contain
flammable liquid that may cause respiratory tract, eye and skin
irritation.
Do not point the laser beam at persons or animals and do
not look into the laser beam yourself, not even from a
large distance.
Do not leave the switched on tool unattended and switch
the tool off after use. Other persons could be blinded by
the laser beam.
When not using the measuring tool, switch it off in order to
extend the battery life.
