yourself or others. The impact from a fall can damage the
measuring tool or result in other forms of damage.
Attachment with Fastening Straps (see figure C):
Thread the fastening straps (24) through the openings (25) and
attach the measuring tool with both straps to a pipe or similar.
Make sure that the hook and loop attachment of the strap end is
pressed against the fastening strap. For thin pipes, thread the
fastening strap through the openings with the smooth side fa-
cing outwards and wrap it once more around the measuring tool;
for thick pipes, thread the fastening strap through the openings
with the smooth side facing inwards.
Always secure the measuring tool with both fastening
u
straps and check the tight seating of the straps. The re-
tention force of the straps depends on the nature of the ma-
terial that they are being fastened to. Loosely attached meas-
uring tools can slip off and become damaged or result in
other forms of damage.
Do not allow children to use the fastening straps without
u
supervision. Misuse of the fastening straps may result in in-
jury.
Switching On and Off
Never leave the measuring tool unattended when
u
switched on, and ensure the measuring tool is switched
off after use. Others may be blinded by the laser beam.
To switch the measuring tool on or off, press the on/off but-
ton (19).
If no button on the measuring tool is pressed for approx. 30 min
or the grade of the measuring tool is not changed by more than
1.5°, then grade measurement and the display are automatically
switched off to save the batteries.
Switching the Laser On and Off
To switch on the laser beam, press the laser on/off button (16).
Do not direct the laser beam at persons or animals and do
u
not stare into the laser beam yourself (even from a dis-
tance).
To switch off the laser beam, press the laser on/off button
again (16).
Never leave the measuring tool unattended when
u
switched on, and ensure the measuring tool is switched
off after use. Others may be blinded by the laser beam.
When not using the laser, switch it off in order to save energy.
Changing the Measuring Unit (see figure A)
You can change between the units of measure "°", "%" and "mm/
m" at any time. For this, press the button for changing the unit of
measure (20) as many times as needed for the required unit of
measure to be displayed in the indicator (c) or (f). The current
measured value (d) will be automatically converted.
The unit-of-measure setting is retained when switching the
measuring tool on or off.
Switching the Audio Signal On and Off
The audio signal can be switched on or off with the audio signal
button (17). When the audio signal is switched on, the indicator
for the audio signal (h) appears in the display.
When you switch on the measuring tool, the audio signal is
switched on as standard.
Measured Value Indicator and Alignment Aids
With each movement of the measuring tool, the measured
value (d) is updated. If the measuring tool has been moved sig-
nificantly, wait until the measured value no longer changes be-
fore taking note of the value.
Depending on the position of the measuring tool, the measured
value and the unit of measure are indicated in the display ro-
tated by 180°. Thus, the indicator can also be read when work-
ing overhead.
The measuring tool uses alignment aids (a) on the display to
show in which direction it has to be tilted in order to reach the
target value. In standard measurements, the target value is the
horizontal or vertical; in the Hold/Copy function, it is the stored
measured value; and when using a changed zero point, it is the
stored zero point.
If the target value is reached, the arrows for the alignment
aids (a) go out and, provided the audio signal is switched on, a
continuous audio signal will be played.
