•
Batteries must not be dismantled, short-circuited or thrown into flames. Never
attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries, as this may cause an explosion!
c) Persons and product
•
The magnets in the housing are very strong. Always maintain a sufficient distance
from magnetic objects, e.g. credit cards with magnetic strips and pacemakers.
• The casing of the angle gauge is made of conductive metal. Never measure on
live objects. This may cause a short circuit or a fatal electric shock!
• Always comply with accident prevention regulations when using the product in
industrial facilities.
• In schools, educational facilities, hobby and DIY workshops, the product must be
operated under the supervision of qualified personnel.

LCD display icons
The undervoltage symbol (
) indicates that the batteries need to be replaced.
The icon indicates a relative icon (to a zero point).
The
icon indicates that the displayed measurement is fixed.
The inclination symbol (
) indicates that there are two possible orientations for the
measured surface.
a) Inserting/changing the batteries
The angle gauge is powered by two 1.5 V AA batteries. Before using the product for the first
time, insert two 1.5 V batteries (not included).
• To insert the batteries, open the battery compartment (5) on the
back of the product (unscrew the screws with a suitable screwdriver
and remove the battery compartment cover).
• Insert the batteries in the correct polarity (+/-). Pay attention to
the polarity markings inside the battery compartment. Replace the
battery compartment cover to close the battery compartment (5).
• Screw all screws back into place.
• Change the batteries when the undervoltage icon (
) appears on the LCD display.
Operation
The angle gauge is not designed to determine whether a large surface is level. This
should be done using a spirit level.
a) Switching on and off
• Press the
ON/OFF/REF
button (3) to switch on the angle gauge. All icons will briefly appear
on the display.
• Press and hold the
ON/OFF/REF
button (3) to switch off the angle gauge.
• The angle gauge switches off automatically after 3 minutes to save energy.
•
Switch off the angle gauge when you have finished using it.
• When you are not using the angle gauge, place it in the storage pouch to protect it against
damage.
b) Measuring angles
• Turn on the angle gauge and place the bottom of the angle gauge on the surface that you
want to measure.
Correct
Incorrect
• Place the angle gauge on a surface (the bottom of the angle gauge contains a magnet that
attaches itself to ferromagnetic metal surfaces).
If the angle gauge is tilted too far from the level position, "Err" will be displayed and
you will not be able to take a measurement.
• The LCD display indicates the angle of inclination of the measurement surface in degrees (°).
The inclination icon (
) and the two arrow symbols ( or ) on the right-hand side of the
inclination icon indicate which side the angle gauge/surface must be tilted towards in order to
make it level. The right-hand side of the angle gauge is the reference edge.
