Safety Instructions
• Do not operate the laser in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust.
• Use the laser only with the specifically designated batteries. Use of any other batteries
may create a risk of fire.
• Store idle laser out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Lasers are dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for one laser, may create a risk of injury when used on
another laser.
• Do not use optical tools such as a telescope or transit to view the laser beam. Serious eye
injury could result.
• Do not place the laser in a position which may cause anyone to intentionally or
unintentionally stare into the laser beam. Serious eye injury could result
• Turn the laser off when it is not in use. Leaving the laser on increases the risk of staring
into the laser beam.
• Repairs and servicing MUST be performed by a qualified repair facility. Repairs performed
by unqualified personnel could result in serious injury.
•WARNING: DO NOT DISASSEMB E THE ASER. There are no user serviceable
parts inside. Disassembling the Laser will void all warranties on the product. Do not modify
the product in any way. Modifying the tool may result in Hazardous Laser Radiation
xposure.
• Do not operate the laser around children or allow children to operate the laser. Serious eye
injury may result.
• Do not remove or deface warning labels. Removing labels increases the risk of exposure
to radiation.
• Position the laser securely. Damage to the laser or serious injury could result if the laser
falls.
•CAUTI N: Occasionally, pipes and electrical wiring may not be detected by this
product. The sensor will not detect hot wires inside metal pipe or metal conduit, behind
metallic wall covering, or behind some plywood or other dense materials.
•CAUTI N: Material thickness, type of material, moisture content, and other variables
can affect sensing results. The sensor may detect electric wiring or pipes in the same
manner that studs are detected depending on their location to the wall surface. Use
caution when drilling, nailing or cutting into walls, floors and ceilings which may contain
electrical wiring or pipes. These items may be detected by the sensor in the same manner
in which studs are detected. Because studs are normally spaced 16 inches (406 mm) or
24 inches (610 mm) apart and are usually 1-1/2 inches (38 mm) wide, beware of anything
closer together or of a different width. Always turn off the power when working near
electrical wires.
•CAUTI N: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than
those specified in this manual may result in hazardous laser radiation exposure.
• This product is intended for use in a temperature range of 50°F(10°C) - 104°F(40°C).
Liquid Crystal Display (First Aid Measures)
• If liquid crystal comes in contact with your skin:
Wash area off completely with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing.
• If liquid crystal gets into your eye:
Flush the affected eye with clean water and then seek medical attention.
• If liquid crystal is swallowed:
Flush your mouth thoroughly with water. Drink large quantities of water and induce
vomiting. Then seek medical attention.
The label on your tool may include the following symbols.

Installing the Battery
nsure laser on/off switch (A) is in the full off position by moving laser button to "O" position.
Remove the battery compartment cover (H). Insert 2 fresh 1.5 volt AA alkaline batteries
making sure to match (+) and (-) terminals correctly. Replace battery compartment cover.
WARNING: Batteries can explode, or leak, and can cause injury or fire. To reduce this
risk:
• Carefully follow all instructions and warnings on the battery label and package. • Always
insert batteries correctly with regard to polarity (+ and -), marked on the battery and the
equipment. • Do not short battery terminals. • Do not charge batteries. • Do not mix old
and new batteries. Replace all of them at the same time with new batteries of the same
brand and type. • Remove dead batteries immediately and dispose of per local codes. •
Do not dispose of batteries in fire. • Keep batteries out of reach of children. • Remove
batteries if the device will not be used for several months.
“Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals inadvertently come
in contact with conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like. The US
Department of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit
transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes (i.e. packed in suitcases and carryon
luggage) UNL SS they are properly protected from short circuits. So when transporting
individual batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and well insulated
from materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.”
L W BATTERY INDICAT R
A battery energy level indicator is displayed in the lower left hand corner of
the display screen.
perating Instructions
NOTE: Detecting elements for wood and metal studs and AC Wires are
located in the lower part of the unit.
STUD DETECTI N
For stud detection through up to 3/4 inch (19mm) thick drywall.
1). Hold unit straight up and down and place flat against wall as shown in Figure 1.
2). Press in and hold the detector on/off button (B). LCD screen (D) will light and detector will
run initialization process.
3). R ADY message will appear on LCD screen and the unit will beep once to indicate it is
calibrated and ready for detection.
4). Slide unit slowly, Figure 2, horizontally across surface of wall without lifting or tilting. When
the STUD FOUND message appears on the LCD screen, slow down and keep sliding until
DG message appears and beep sounds as shown in Figure 3. This is the stud edge. Mark
this spot (at arrow on lower part of unit).
5). Keep moving past mark until DG and STUD FOUND disappear.
6). Continue holding detector button and reverse direction.
7). Find and mark other stud edge, following step 4).
8). Center of the stud is between marks.
AC WIRE SENSING
Test on a known “live” AC wire before each use. For AC Detection up to 1-1/2 inches (38mm)
from the surface. The sensor detects AC voltage and will identify only live wires. AC voltage
detection feature works continuously when detecting studs. It assists in identifying when the
sensor is near live AC wiring and detector button (B) is depressed. Once AC voltage has
been detected AC wire indicator L D (C) will light.
If the unit is calibrated close to AC wire, it may decrease AC wiring sensor sensitivity. Static
charge may spread detection 12 inches (30.4cm) on both sides of wire.
WARNING: Occasionally, pipes and electrical wiring may not be detected by this product.
Observe caution when cutting or drilling into areas that may contain concealed pipes or
wiring. The sensor will not detect live wires inside metal pipe or metal conduit, behind
metallic wall covering, or behind some plywood or other dense materials.
Use caution if area has plywood, thick wood backing behind drywall, or thicker than normal
walls.
WARNING: Always turn off the power when working near electrical wires, electric
shock may result.
AUT LEVELING LASER LINES
Operation of aser: Place unit flat against wall as shown in Figure 1. Move laser on/off
button (A) to "I" position to actuate the auto leveling horizontal laser lines.
HANGING N DRYWALL SURFACES NLY
Hands Free Operation of aser: To hang the unit on a wall, remove the orange protective
cap from the drywall pin (F) and store it on the cone as shown in Figure 4. Push pin into
drywall (Figure 5). When pressing pin into drywall, make sure it is straight and seated firmly.
Hang the laser on the cone as shown in Figure 6 and check to make sure that the unit is
secure on the wall. Figure 7 illustrates a typical application for the laser when it is wall
mounted.
CAUTI N: Pin is sharp and should be handled with care. The drywall pin should always be
pushed in by hand and never driven by a hammer. Replace protective cap after each use.
NOTE: The pin is only for use on drywall NOT other surfaces including plaster.
HANGING N THER SURFACES
Hands Free Operation of aser: For surfaces other than drywall, the (key hole) hanging
cone ( ) can be used with a standard nail or screw in a predrilled hole. To use the keyhole
hanging cone, place it over a nail or screw on a vertical surface with the narrow portion of the
opening pointing upward. Push the laser onto the hanging cone until it snaps into place. To
remove the laser, lift it slightly and pull it straight off. The unit can also be used with the
hanging cone attached to the back and then hanging the unit on the nail or screw. Make sure
it is straight and seated firmly on the cone and that the unit is secure on the wall.
DANGER: Laser Radiation, avoid direct eye exposure.
Helpful Hints
• If the laser light becomes dim or is no longer visible when the switch is in the on position
check or change the battery.
• The laser lines are only level on the wall against which the unit is held or hung. The short
line visible on any adjacent wall is not level.
• The laser unit is a wall use tool only and only generates level lines when held against a
vertical surface.
• The laser unit is equipped with a pendulum lock that stops pendulum motion when the laser
on/off switch is moved to the off position.
• If the laser on/off switch is pushed part way to the on position, the laser lines may be on
while the pendulum lock is still engaged.
• Hold stud sensor straight up and down.
For your convenience and safety, the following labels are on your laser. Helpful Hints (Con’t).
• Because studs are normally spaced 16 inches or 24 inches apart and are 1-1/2 inches wide,
beware of anything closer together or of a different width. Doors and windows are
constructed with studs and headers which are closer together.
• When using unit over a stucco wall, place a piece of cardboard over the surface to help
provide a smooth motion across the wall.
•Avoid materials which have inconsistent density such as:
• Carpeting and padding
• Ceramic floor tile
• Wallpaper containing metallic foils or fibers. Generally, surfaces covered with regular
wallpaper or fabric will scan with no difference in function.
• Walls that are freshly painted and are still damp.
• xcessively thick plaster and lath.

is mounted or held must
be within +/- 5 degrees
of vertical for the self
leveling mechanism to
function correctly. If this
is exceeded, the lines
will still project but may
not be level.
• The laser on/off switch
must be pushed to the
full on position.
• Use the unit against vertical walls
only, lines will not be level on
sloped walls or other non-vertical
surfaces.
• Be sure laser on/off switch is in
the full on position.
• Replace with fresh battery.
• If a switch controls an outlet, make
sure the it is ON for detection.
• You suspect electrical
wires, but do not detect
any.
• Weak battery.
• If wires are shielded
behind metallic wall
coverings, or in metal
conduit, the sensor will
not be able to detect
them.
• The wires may not be
“live”.

AC WIRE DETECTIO N
Only life AC wires could be detected. AC voltage detection feature works
continually when detecting studs. Once AC voltage detected AC wire
indicator LED will light. (see instruction manual).

Installing the Battery
nsure laser on/off switch (A) is in the full off position by moving laser button to "O" position.
Remove the battery compartment cover (H). Insert 2 fresh 1.5 volt AA alkaline batteries
making sure to match (+) and (-) terminals correctly. Replace battery compartment cover.
WARNING: Batteries can explode, or leak, and can cause injury or fire. To reduce this
risk:
• Carefully follow all instructions and warnings on the battery label and package. • Always
insert batteries correctly with regard to polarity (+ and -), marked on the battery and the
equipment. • Do not short battery terminals. • Do not charge batteries. • Do not mix old
and new batteries. Replace all of them at the same time with new batteries of the same
brand and type. • Remove dead batteries immediately and dispose of per local codes. •
Do not dispose of batteries in fire. • Keep batteries out of reach of children. • Remove
batteries if the device will not be used for several months.
“Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals inadvertently come
in contact with conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like. The US
Department of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit
transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes (i.e. packed in suitcases and carryon
luggage) UNL SS they are properly protected from short circuits. So when transporting
individual batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and well insulated
from materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.”
L W BATTERY INDICAT R
A battery energy level indicator is displayed in the lower left hand corner of
the display screen.
perating Instructions
NOTE: Detecting elements for wood and metal studs and AC Wires are
located in the lower part of the unit.
STUD DETECTI N
For stud detection through up to 3/4 inch (19mm) thick drywall.
1). Hold unit straight up and down and place flat against wall as shown in Figure 1.
2). Press in and hold the detector on/off button (B). LCD screen (D) will light and detector will
run initialization process.
3). R ADY message will appear on LCD screen and the unit will beep once to indicate it is
calibrated and ready for detection.
4). Slide unit slowly, Figure 2, horizontally across surface of wall without lifting or tilting. When
the STUD FOUND message appears on the LCD screen, slow down and keep sliding until
DG message appears and beep sounds as shown in Figure 3. This is the stud edge. Mark
this spot (at arrow on lower part of unit).
5). Keep moving past mark until DG and STUD FOUND disappear.
6). Continue holding detector button and reverse direction.
7). Find and mark other stud edge, following step 4).
8). Center of the stud is between marks.
AC WIRE SENSING
Test on a known “live” AC wire before each use. For AC Detection up to 1-1/2 inches (38mm)
from the surface. The sensor detects AC voltage and will identify only live wires. AC voltage
detection feature works continuously when detecting studs. It assists in identifying when the
sensor is near live AC wiring and detector button (B) is depressed. Once AC voltage has
been detected AC wire indicator L D (C) will light.
If the unit is calibrated close to AC wire, it may decrease AC wiring sensor sensitivity. Static
charge may spread detection 12 inches (30.4cm) on both sides of wire.
WARNING: Occasionally, pipes and electrical wiring may not be detected by this product.
Observe caution when cutting or drilling into areas that may contain concealed pipes or
wiring. The sensor will not detect live wires inside metal pipe or metal conduit, behind
metallic wall covering, or behind some plywood or other dense materials.
Use caution if area has plywood, thick wood backing behind drywall, or thicker than normal
walls.
WARNING: Always turn off the power when working near electrical wires, electric
shock may result.
AUT LEVELING LASER LINES
Operation of aser: Place unit flat against wall as shown in Figure 1. Move laser on/off
button (A) to "I" position to actuate the auto leveling horizontal laser lines.
HANGING N DRYWALL SURFACES NLY
Hands Free Operation of aser: To hang the unit on a wall, remove the orange protective
cap from the drywall pin (F) and store it on the cone as shown in Figure 4. Push pin into
drywall (Figure 5). When pressing pin into drywall, make sure it is straight and seated firmly.
Hang the laser on the cone as shown in Figure 6 and check to make sure that the unit is
secure on the wall. Figure 7 illustrates a typical application for the laser when it is wall
mounted.
CAUTI N: Pin is sharp and should be handled with care. The drywall pin should always be
pushed in by hand and never driven by a hammer. Replace protective cap after each use.
NOTE: The pin is only for use on drywall NOT other surfaces including plaster.
HANGING N THER SURFACES
Hands Free Operation of aser: For surfaces other than drywall, the (key hole) hanging
cone ( ) can be used with a standard nail or screw in a predrilled hole. To use the keyhole
hanging cone, place it over a nail or screw on a vertical surface with the narrow portion of the
opening pointing upward. Push the laser onto the hanging cone until it snaps into place. To
remove the laser, lift it slightly and pull it straight off. The unit can also be used with the
hanging cone attached to the back and then hanging the unit on the nail or screw. Make sure
it is straight and seated firmly on the cone and that the unit is secure on the wall.
DANGER: Laser Radiation, avoid direct eye exposure.
Helpful Hints
• If the laser light becomes dim or is no longer visible when the switch is in the on position
check or change the battery.
• The laser lines are only level on the wall against which the unit is held or hung. The short
line visible on any adjacent wall is not level.
• The laser unit is a wall use tool only and only generates level lines when held against a
vertical surface.
• The laser unit is equipped with a pendulum lock that stops pendulum motion when the laser
on/off switch is moved to the off position.
• If the laser on/off switch is pushed part way to the on position, the laser lines may be on
while the pendulum lock is still engaged.
• Hold stud sensor straight up and down.
For your convenience and safety, the following labels are on your laser. Helpful Hints (Con’t).
• Because studs are normally spaced 16 inches or 24 inches apart and are 1-1/2 inches wide,
beware of anything closer together or of a different width. Doors and windows are
constructed with studs and headers which are closer together.
• When using unit over a stucco wall, place a piece of cardboard over the surface to help
provide a smooth motion across the wall.
•Avoid materials which have inconsistent density such as:
• Carpeting and padding
• Ceramic floor tile
• Wallpaper containing metallic foils or fibers. Generally, surfaces covered with regular
wallpaper or fabric will scan with no difference in function.
• Walls that are freshly painted and are still damp.
• xcessively thick plaster and lath.
