SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Important

Please read all instructions prior to operating the STRAIT-LINE® SF150.

Keep out of reach if children.

Caution

Remove the battery when storing the tool for an extended time to avoid

damage to the tool should the battery deteriorate.

This STRAIT-LINE® Stud Finder is designed for use on dry interior walls

only. Do not nail, drill, or cut into a wall that has electrical wiring or hidden

water pipes as this may result in serious injury. If electrical wiring is contained

in the wall, turn the circuit off before cutting into the wall.

It is possible for the Stud-Finder to detect wiring and / or water pipes, but

this tool is primarily designed for detecting wood stud on drywall up to 5/8"

deep. Studs or joists are normally spaced at 16" (410mm) or 24"(610mm)

apart and have an edge width of 1-1/2". Anything detected closer together

or a different width may not be a stud, joist or firebreak.

HOW TO USE

Battery Installation

Open battery door on bottom of tool. Insert one 9-volt block battery onto

the battery connector. Close battery compartment door.

*NOTE: When the battery is low, the lower red LED will blink

continuously. Replace with new battery according to instructions.

To Verify the Unit Works

1. Turn the STRAIT-LINE® SF150 on while holding it 12” from any surface.

2. When the green LED goes off and the “beep” sound stops, the unit is

calibrated.

3. Bring your hand up top to the back of the unit.

4. If the green LED lights up and the STRAIT-LINE® SF150 beeps, the unit

is working properly.

To Scan a Wall

This STRAIT-LINE® stud finder utilizes ACCUSCAN® technology to detect

objects behind surfaces. ACCUSCAN® scanning modes are tuned to detect

objects behind specific surfaces. Select the mode that matches the type of

surface you are using the tool on.

Flooring

1. To turn on, select the ACCUSCAN® mode using the selection switch on

the front of the STRAIT-LINE® stud finder.

2. Hold the Stud Finder in still position on surface for approximately 3

seconds, the top green LED and bottom red LED will light up, which

indicates the unit is calibrating.

3. Upon successful calibration, the upper green LED goes OFF and the “beep”

sound stops.

4. To start scanning, hold Stud Finder on testing surface and slowly slide it

sideways.

5. When stud edge is detected, the upper green indicator LED will turn on

and “beep” sound will be generated continuously. Push “Mark”

button to mark spot. Continue to move slowly in the same direction until

the LED lights turn off and the “beeping” stops.

6. Move in reverse to locate the other edge. Mark this spot again. User can

now find the middle point for nailing or drilling.

Important Notes

• While scanning, the unit must remain in contact with the surface.

• If the tool lifts from the surface, the unit will turn off and recalibration is

required.

• If the green indicator light does not turn off during calibration, you may

have calibrated over a damp surface. Turn off the unit and start calibration

again by moving the unit 5" to 8" left.

• When the unit is beeping continuously during calibration, you might have

calibrated over a metal pipe. Move the unit 5" to 8" left or right, turn off

the unit and start calibration again.

• When holding the unit, your hand should remain in the same position

during calibration and scanning.

Care and Handling

• The Stud Finder is a precision instrument, which must be handled with

care.

• Avoid shock, vibrations and extreme heat.

• Check battery regularly to avoid deterioration.

• Keep the tool dry and clean.

• Remove battery if the tool is to be stored for an extended period of time.
