Operation

Initial Operation

 Do not leave the switched on measuring tool unattended and
switch the measuring tool off after use. Other persons could be
blinded by the laser beam.
 Protect the measuring tool against moisture and direct sun light.
 Do not subject the measuring tool to extreme temperatures or var-
iations in temperature. As an example, do not leave it in vehicles for
long time. In case of large variations in temperature, allow the measur-
ing tool to adjust to the ambient temperature before putting it into op-
eration. In case of extreme temperatures or variations in temperature,
the accuracy of the measuring tool can be impaired.
 Avoid heavy impact to or falling down of the measuring tool. After
severe exterior effects to the measuring tool, it is recommended to car-
ry out a check (see "Checking the Measuring Tool", page 21) each time
before continuing to work.
Switching On and Off
To switch on the measuring tool, push the On/Off switch 1 toward the
rear. When switching on the measuring tool, the laser beam is switched
on. The LASER indicator flashes on the display.
To switch off the measuring tool, push the On/Off switch 1 toward the
front.
Measuring Procedure
After the measuring tool is switched on, continuous measurement takes
place. Aim the laser beam at the target surface. The current measuring
value g is displayed in the bottom line of the display (see figure A). During
continuous measurement, the measuring tool can be moved relative to
the target, whereby the current measuring value g is updated approx. eve-
ry 0.5 seconds in the bottom line of the display (see figure B). In this man-
ner, as an example, you can move a certain distance away from a wall,
while the actual distance can always be read. The LASER indicator flashes
on the display.
