Safety Instructions
All instructions must be read and observed in order for the meas-
uring tool to function safely. The safeguards integrated into the
measuring tool may be compromised if the measuring tool is not
used in accordance with these instructions. Never make warning
signs on the measuring tool unrecognisable. SAVE THESE IN-
STRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE AND INCLUDE THEM WITH THE MEASUR-
ING TOOL WHEN TRANSFERRING IT TO A THIRD PARTY.
uWarning! If operating or adjustment devices other than those specified here are
used or other procedures are carried out, this can lead to dangerous exposure to
radiation.
uThe measuring tool is delivered with a laser warning sign (marked in the illustra-
tion of the measuring tool on the graphics page).
uIf the text of the laser warning label is not in your national language, stick the
provided warning label in your national language over it before operating for the
first time.
Do not direct the laser beam at persons or animals and do not
stare into the direct or reflected laser beam yourself. You could
blind somebody, cause accidents or damage your eyes.
uIf laser radiation hits your eye, you must close your eyes and immediately turn
your head away from the beam.
uDo not make any modifications to the laser equipment.
uDo not use the laser goggles as protective goggles. The laser goggles make the
laser beam easier to see; they do not protect you against laser radiation.
uDo not use the laser goggles as sunglasses or while driving. The laser goggles do
not provide full UV protection and impair your ability to see colours.
uHave the measuring tool serviced only by a qualified specialist using only ori-
ginal replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the measuring tool is
maintained.
uDo not let children use the laser measuring tool unsupervised. They could acci-
dentally dazzle someone.

Fitting
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 could be possible than with 1.5 V batteries.
Press the locking mechanism (8) to open the battery compartment cover (7) and re-
move the battery compartment cover. Insert the batteries. When inserting, pay attention
to the correct polarity according to the representation on the inside of the battery com-
partment.
If the battery symbol appears on the display for the first time, at least another 100 in-
dividual measurements are possible. When the battery symbol flashes, you have to re-
place the batteries because measurements are no longer possible.
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16).

– 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 in the memory are retained when you switch the measuring tool off.
Measuring process (seefigureA)
Once switched on, the measuring tool is in the length measurement function. You can set
other measuring functions by repeatedly pressing the (4) (see "Measuring functions",
page11) button.
The rear edge of the measuring tool is always the reference level for the measurement.
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. To switch the laser beam on again, briefly press the measuring but-
ton (2). To initiate a further measurement, briefly press the measuring button (2) again.
uDo not direct the laser beam at persons or animals and do not stare into the laser
beam yourself (even from a distance).
In the continuous measurement mode, the measurement begins immediately upon
switching on the function.
Note: The measured value typically appears within 0.5seconds and no later than
4seconds. The duration of the measurement depends on the distance, the lighting con-
ditions and the reflective properties of the target surface. Upon completion of the meas-
urement, the laser beam is automatically switched off.
Measuring functions
Measuring length
For length measurements, repeatedly press the button (4) until the indicator for length
measurement appears on the display (1).

automatically calculated and displayed. The end result will be shown
at the bottom of the display, while the current measured value will be
shown above it.
Simple Pythagoras measurement
For simple Pythagoras measurements, repeatedly press the button (4)until the indicator
for single Pythagoras measurement appears on the display(1).
Make sure that there is a right angle between the sought distance (height) and the hori-
zontal distance (depth)! Then measure the depth and diagonal one after the other as
with a length measurement. The first measured value will be shown at the bottom of the
display. The laser beam remains switched on between the two measurements.
After the second measurement has been completed, the height will
be automatically calculated and displayed. The end result will be
shown at the bottom of the display, while the current measured value
will be shown above it.
Deleting measured values
In any measuring function, you can delete the most recently recorded individual meas-
ured value by briefly pressing the on/off button (5). Repeatedly pressing the on/off but-
ton (5) briefly will delete the measured values in reverse order.
Memory functions

play illumination is dimmed after approx. 10seconds to preserve the batteries. When no
button is pressed for after approx. 30seconds, the display illumination goes out.
Practical Advice
General Advice
The reception lens (11) and the laser beam output (12) must not be covered during the
measuring process.
The measuring tool must not be moved while a measurement is being taken. For this
reason, place the measuring tool against or on a firm surface whenever possible.
Influences on the Measuring Range
The measuring range depends on the lighting conditions and the reflective properties of
the target surface. For better visibility of the laser beam in bright extraneous light, use
the laser viewing glasses (14) (accessories) and the laser target plate (13) (accessories)
or shade the target area.
Influences on the Measurement Result
Due to physical effects, the possibility of inaccurate measurements when measuring vari-
ous surfaces cannot be excluded. These include:
– Transparent surfaces (e.g. glass, water)
Bosch Power Tools 1 609 92A 5DY | (02.07.2020)

16 | English
– Reflective surfaces (e.g. polished metal, glass)
– Porous surfaces (e.g. insulating materials)
– Structured surfaces (e.g. roughcast, natural stone).
If necessary, use the laser target plate (13) (accessories) on these surfaces.
Inaccurate measurements are also possible where the laser is pointed at target surfaces
diagonally.
Layers of air at different temperatures and indirectly received reflections can also influ-
ence the measured value.
Accuracy Check of the Distance Measurement
You can check the accuracy of the measuring tool as follows:
– Choose a measuring section of approx. 3–10 m in length that is permanently un-
changed, the exact length of which is known to you (e.g. room width, door opening).
The measurement should be taken under favourable conditions, i.e. the measuring
section should be indoors and the target surface for the measurement should be
smooth and reflect well.
– Measure the section ten times in succession.
The deviation of the individual measurements from the mean value must not exceed
±4mm over the entire measuring section in favourable conditions. Record the measure-
ments in order to be able to compare the accuracy at a later date.
Errors – Causes and Corrective Measures
Cause Corrective measures

Cause Corrective measures
Target surface reflection not distinct (e.g.
water, glass).
Cover the target surface
Laser beam output(12) and/or reception
lens(11) are covered.
Keep the laser beam output(12) and/or re-
ception lens(11) clear
Obstruction in the path of the laser beam The laser point must be fully on the target
surface.
The indicator remains unchanged or the measuring tool reacts unexpectedly when
a button is pressed
Software error Remove the batteries, reinsert them and
restart the measuring tool.
The measuring tool monitors for correct operation in every measurement. If a defect is
detected, all indicators on the display will flash. In this case, or if you are unable to rectify
an error using the corrective measures above, send the measuring tool to Bosch cus-
tomer service via your dealer.
Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and Cleaning
Keep the measuring tool clean at all times.
Never immerse the measuring tool in water or other liquids.
Wipe off any dirt using a damp, soft cloth. Do not use any detergents or solvents.
Take particular care of the reception lens (11), which must be handled with the same
level of care you would give to a pair of glasses or a camera lens.
If you discover a fault or require a repair, send the measuring tool to an authorised Bosch
after-sales service agent.
