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.

Assembly
Inserting/changing the batteries
It is recommended that you use alkaline manganese 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 hard knocks to the measuring tool or dropping it. Always carry out an accur-
acy check before continuing work if the measuring tool has been subjected to severe
external influences (see "Accuracy check of the distance measurement", page22).

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17). 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. For changing the reference level (see "Se-
lecting the reference level (see figureA)", page16).
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)
1 609 92A 5G9 | (06.11.2019) Bosch Power Tools

English | 17
– 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 and hold the [Func] button(7). Use the [+] but-
ton(3) or the [–] button(8) 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

Indirect height measurement / Simple Pythagoras Measurement (see figureE)
The indirect height measurement is used to measure distances that cannot be measured
directly because an obstacle would obstruct the laser beam or no target surface is avail-
able as a reflector. Correct results are achieved only when the right angles required for
the respective measurement are exactly adhered to (Pythagorean Theorem).
