The measuring instrument is intended for the measuring of distances as
well as for the determination and checking of horizontal or vertical lines.
■
Protect the instrument from moisture and direct sunrays.
■
Do not expose the instrument to extreme temperatures and tempera-
ture variations (e.g., do not leave in vehicles).
■
If the instrument is not used for a long period, the batteries must be
removed (danger of self-discharge and corrosion).
■
Protect the instrument from strong impacts and falls. Damage to the
instrument can degrade the accuracy.
Use Alkali-Manganese batteries exclusively.
Open the battery compartment cover
14
and insert the batteries provided.
When inserting the batteries, pay attention to the correct polarisation.
If the symbol
appears in the display
5
, the batteries are exhausted and
must be replaced. When continuing to work with exhausted batteries, er-
roneous measurement by the instrument cannot be excluded.
When the batteries are empty, the symbol
then blinks in the display
5
and measuring is no longer possible.
Open the battery compartment cover
14
and replace the batteries. Pay
attention to correct polarisation.
Always replace all batteries at the same time. Use only batteries from a
single manufacturer and with the same capacity.
Before switching on, press the reel-in button
12
and completely rewind
the measuring tape.
Switching On/Off
■
When switched on, the instrument immediately emits a laser beam
from the outlet opening
8
.
Do not direct the laser beam at persons
or animals and do not look directly into the laser beam (espe-
cially not with optical instruments).
To
switch on
, press the on/off button
11
. The laser is
then in operation and the display shown here appears.
The initial measured value is 0.8 cm (for Article Number
3 603 K07 0.. also 5/16") since a distance exists between the reference
points for length measurement (
16
and
17
) even with the measuring tape
completely rewound.
The error message shown here appears if the instru-
ment is switched on when the measuring tape
10
is not
rewound. Completely rewind the measuring tape with
the reel-in button
12
. The instrument is then ready for use.
To
switch off the laser
, press the on/off button
11
again. The instru-
ment remains ready for measuring.
