Use

Using the grip assist pads

(fig. A)
The tool is fitted with spring loaded pads (5) and non-slip grip assist pads (6). This unique feature increases stability on vertical surfaces while holding the tool with one hand.

• Place the tool on a vertical surface.
• Press in on the tool to allow the grip assist pads to grip to the vertical surface.
• Holding the level with one hand, use a pencil in your free hand to make a location marking.

Do not let go of the tool. The gripper pads are not intended to hold the tool against the surface by themselves.
Note: Optimal G-Grip performance will be achieved when the pads are free of dust and dirt. The performance of the grip assist pads can be restored by wiping them using a damp cloth.

Using the spirit level

The tool can be used for vertical, horizontal and diagonal level measurement.

• Check whether the bubble moves evenly between the 2 lines in the spirit. This means your level is straight.

Using the marking pods

The tool is fitted with adjustable marking pods to transfer and or repeat a measurement from one location to another.

• Align the marking pods (4) with the pre-set hang holes of the object you want to hang on the wall.
  
• Transfer the measurement to your work area ensuring the tool is aligned to a level position (fig. B1 - B3).
• Mark the locations of the marking pods through the slots in the pods using a pencil.
