Now measure the length L2 of the second wall. The individual
measured value displayed in the measured-value line h is
added to the length L1. The sum of the two lengths (displayed
in the bottom measured-value line h) is multiplied by the saved
height H. The total surface value is displayed in the result
line a.
You can measure any number of lengths LX, which will be
automatically added and multiplied by the height H.
The requirement for a correct area calculation is that the first
measured length (for example the ceiling height H) is identical
for all sub-areas.
Stake out function (see figure G)
The stake out function repeatedly measures a defined length
(distance). These lengths can be transferred to a surface,
for example to enable material to be cut into pieces of equal
lengths or to install stud walls in a drywall construction. The
minimum adjustable length is 3.2 ft (0,1m), the maximum
adjustable length is 164 ft (50m).
Select the stake out function .
Set the desired length. Using button 13 [Func] select the
corresponding digit/position and change the value with button
4 [+] or button 11 [–].
Begin the stake out function by pressing the measuring button
2 [ ] and slowly move away from the starting point.

The measuring tool continuously measures the
distance to the starting point. The defined length
1´04˝
and the current measured value are thereby
displayed. The lower or upper arrow displays the
shortest distance to the next or last marking.
The left factor specifies how many times the
defined length has already been reached. The
1´04˝
green arrows on either side of the display indicate
the reaching of a length for marking purposes.
Red arrows or a red label indicate the actual value
if the reference value is outside the display.
