Assembly
Inserting/changing the batteries
It is recommended that you use alkaline manganese or rechargeable batteries to operate
the measuring tool.
With 1.2 V batteries fewer measurements may be possible than with 1.5 V batteries.
Press the locking mechanism (10) to open the battery compartment cover (9) and re-
move the battery compartment cover. Insert the batteries. When inserting the batteries,
ensure that the polarity is correct according to the illustration on the inside of the battery
compartment.
When the empty battery symbol first appears on the display, approx. 100 measurements
are still possible. When the battery symbol is empty and flashes red, no further measure-
ments are possible. Replace the batteries.
Always replace all the batteries at the same time. Only use batteries from the same man-
ufacturer and which have the same capacity.
uTake the batteries out of the measuring tool when you are not using it for a pro-
longed period of time. The batteries can corrode and self-discharge during pro-
longed storage.
Operation
Start-Up
uNever leave the measuring tool unattended when switched on, and ensure the
measuring tool is switched off after use. Others may be dazzled by the laser beam.
uProtect the measuring tool from moisture and direct sunlight.
uDo not expose the measuring tool to any extreme temperatures or variations in
temperature. For example, do not leave it in a car for extended periods of time. In
case of large variations in temperature, allow the measuring tool to adjust to the ambi-
ent temperature before putting it into operation. The precision of the measuring tool
may be compromised if exposed to extreme temperatures or variations in temperat-
ure.
uAvoid subjecting the measuring tool to violent jolts and falls. Always carry out an
accuracy check before continuing work if the measuring tool has been subjected to
severe external influences (see "Accuracy Check of the Distance Measurement",
page24).

Switching on/off
– To switch on the measuring tool and the laser, briefly press the measuring button (2)
[ ].
– To switch on the measuring tool without the laser, briefly press the on/off button (5)
[ ].
uDo not direct the laser beam at persons or animals and do not stare into the laser
beam yourself (even from a distance).
To switch off the measuring tool, press and hold the on/off button (5) [ ].
The measured values and device settings in the memory are retained when you switch
the measuring tool off.
Measuring process
Once switched on, the measuring tool is in the length measurement function. For a differ-
ent measuring function, press the [Func] button (7). Use the [+] button (3) or the [–]
button (8) to select the required measuring function (see "Measuring functions",
page16). Activate the measuring function with the [Func] button (7) or with the meas-
uring button (2) [ ].
Once the measuring tool has been switched on, the rear edge of the measuring tool is se-
lected as the reference level for measurement. To change the reference level (see "Se-
lecting the reference level (see figureA)", page15).
Apply the measuring tool to the point at which you want to start the measurement (e.g.
wall).
Note: If the measuring tool has been switched on using the on/off button (5) [ ], briefly
press the measuring button (2) [ ] to switch the laser on.
To initiate the measurement, briefly press the measuring button (2) [ ]. Then the laser
beam is switched off. For a further measurement, repeat this process.
uDo not direct the laser beam at persons or animals and do not stare into the laser
beam yourself (even from a distance).
Note: The measured value typically appears within half a second, and no later than ap-
proximately four seconds. The duration of the measurement depends on the distance,
the lighting conditions and the reflective properties of the target surface. Upon comple-
tion of the measurement, the laser beam is automatically switched off.
Selecting the reference level (see figureA)
You can choose between three different reference levels for the measurement:
– The rear edge of the measuring tool (e.g. when placing against walls)
Bosch Power Tools 1 609 92A 5E3 | (30.03.2020)

16 | English
– The front edge of the measuring tool (e.g. when measuring from a table edge)
– The centre of the thread (13) (e.g. for tripod measurements)
To select the reference level, press the button (4). Use the [+] button (3) or the [–] but-
ton (8) or the button (4) to select the required reference level. The rear edge of the
measuring tool is preset as the reference level every time the measuring tool is switched
on.
Basic settings menu
To enter the basic settings menu (i), press and hold the [Func] button (7).
Select the respective basic setting and choose your setting.
To exit the basic settings menu, press the on/off button (5) [ ].
Display illumination
The display illumination is continuously switched on. When no button is pressed, the dis-
play illumination is dimmed after approx. 20 seconds to preserve the batteries.
Measuring functions

measured value is at the bottom of the display, the penultimate meas-
ured value is above it, and so on.
Continuous measurement
In continuous measurement mode, the measuring tool can be moved relative to the tar-
get, during which the measured value will be updated every half a second. You can, for
example, move a required distance away from a wall while reading off the current dis-
tance at all times.

shown above it.
Indirect distance measurement
For indirect length measurements, three measuring modes are available. Each measur-
ing function can be used for determining different distances.
The indirect distance measurement is used to determine distances that cannot be meas-
ured directly, due to an obstacle that would impede the path beam or the absence of a

18 | English
target surface that could serve as a reflector. This measuring procedure can only be em-
ployed vertically. Any horizontal deviation will lead to measurement errors.
Note: Indirect distance measurement is always less accurate than direct distance meas-
urement. For application-related reasons, measuring errors can be greater than with dir-
ect distance measurement. To improve the accuracy of measurement, we recommend
the use of a tripod (accessory).
The laser beam remains switched on between the individual measurements.
a) Indirect height measurement (see figureB)
Select the indirect height measurement mode .
Ensure that the measuring tool is at the same height as the lower measuring point. Then
tilt the measuring tool around the reference level and measure distance 1 as for a length
measurement (displayed as a red line).

rows (d).
Ensure that the reference level for the measurement (e.g. the rear
edge of the measuring tool) remains in exactly the same place for all
the individual measurements in a single measuring process.
c) Indirect length measurement (see figureD)
Select the indirect length measurement mode .
Ensure that the measuring tool is at the same height as the required measuring point.
Then tilt the measuring tool around the reference level and measure distance 1 as for a

Wall area measurement (see figureE)
The wall area measurement is used to determine the sum of multiple individual areas
with a common height. In the illustrated example, the total area of several walls that have
the same ceiling height H but different lengths L is to be determined.
Select the wall area measurement mode .
Measure the ceiling height H as for a length measurement. The measured value is dis-
played in the top measured-value line. The laser remains switched on.

Then measure the length L1 of the first wall. The area is automatically
calculated and displayed in the result line (e). The last measured
value for length can be found in the bottom measured value line (d).
The laser remains switched on.
Now measure the length L2 of the second wall. The individual meas-
ured value displayed in the measured value line (d) is added to the
length L1. The sum of the two lengths (displayed in the middle measured value line (d)) is
multiplied by the saved height H. The total area value is displayed in the result line (e).
You can measure any number of lengths Lx, which will be automatically added and multi-
plied 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F)
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 length or to install stud walls in a drywall construction. The minimum adjustable
length is 0.1m and the maximum length is 50m.
Note: The distance from the marking is shown in the display in the stake out function.
The reference is not the edge of the measuring tool.
Select the stake out function .
Set the required length. Select the corresponding digit/position with the (7) [Func] but-
ton and change the value with the (3) [+] or (8) [–] button.
Begin the stake out function by pressing the measuring button (2) [ ] and slowly move
away from the starting point.

Inclination measurement is used to measure a slope or incline (e.g. of
stairs, railings, when fitting furniture, laying pipes, etc.).
The left-hand side of the measuring tool serves as the reference level
for inclination measurement. If the display flashes during measure-
ment, the measuring tool has been tipped too heavily to the side.
