[MODE] + [OFF/ON] – Software Reset
Clears all values, including memory. Resets
all permanent settings, including clicker and
beep settings.
[LOCK] – Lock Switch
Locks the mode, scale and units so they
cannot inadvertently be changed.
[SUBTRACT/COUNT] – Subtract/Count Key
Toggles measuring mode between positive
and negative direction. Increases the Count
value by one. Count function is active in the
“count” mode.
[RCL] – Recall Key
Used to recall stored values. When you
press [RCL] [RCL], the last value rolled is
displayed, allowing roll to continue from
this value.

2 – Scale Master®Classic
[MODE] – Mode Selection
Used to toggle between the following scale
modes (in sequence):
1) Architectural (ARCH)
2) Engineering I (ENG I)
3) Engineering II (ENG II)
4) Custom (CUSTOM)
5) Count (COUNT)
[SUBTRACT/COUNT]+[MODE] –
Unit Selection
Holding [SUBTRACT/COUNT] and
repeated presses of [MODE] will scroll
through the available units. Values can be
converted from U.S. units to Metric within
the U.S. mode. However, values cannot
be converted from Metric to U.S. when in
Metric mode.
[SCALE] – Scale Selection
Used to toggle between various scales within
each scale mode. See “Built-In Scales” section.
[M1+] – Memory Add Key (Length)
Adds the displayed value to the M1+
memory. is key is used to store a length in
order to calculate an area.
[M2x] – Memory Add Key (Width)
Adds the displayed value to the M2x memory.
is key is used to store a width in order to
calculate an area. When a length and width have
been stored in
[M1+] and [M2x] , pressing
[RCL] [M2x] displays the stored width, the
next press of
[M2x] displays the area calculated
from the stored length and width, and the next
press of
[M2x] displays the calculated volume if
a height has been stored. Please see page 12 for
calculating an Area and Volume.

3 – User’s Guide
[RESET]
Used to clear the display. When pressed together
with another key, clears the value of that key.
U.S. and Metric Modes
e Scale Master Classic is set up to use U.S.
scales by default. e Scale Master Classic can
be set up to use Metric scales by performing the
following steps:
1) Remove the battery door on the back of the
Scale Master Classic and remove batteries.
2) Flip the switch from IMP
(U.S. /Imperial mode)
to MET (Metric mode).
3) Replace the batteries and
battery door before using
the Scale Master Classic.
While in Metric mode,
MET will remain lit in the display.

Adjusting the Wheel
e Celcon® polymer wheel can be adjusted
for each user’s preference.
To adjust the wheel, take
a small, at-head jeweler’s
screwdriver and slightly
rotate the screw located
near the wheel tip. Rotating
the screw about 1/4 to 1/3
turn should be sucient. Rotating the screw

within those two values should adjust the wheel
between free spinning (which is too loose) to
skidding (which is too tight).
Rolling a Measurement
To take a measurement with the Scale Master Classic:
1) Switch the unit on. Press [RESET]to clear
the display.
2) Select your type of scale by pressing the
[MODE] key. en press the [SCALE]key to
select your scale.
3) Begin rolling. e display will register your
measurements.
To ensure accurate measurements, be sure to
hold the unit upright and start and stop the
SMC at the exact points you are measuring.
4) Press the appropriate key if you want to store
this measurement (ex. [M1+] to store as
length, [M2x] to store as width).
5) Press
[RESET]to clear the display and begin a
new measurement.
Note: If the wheel is rolled anytime a value is
displayed due to a recall or a calculation, you
may notice a very slight delay before the current
measurement appears on the display. It is important
to note that this measurement includes the distance
rolled during the delay. is slight delay is to
minimize the accidental clearing of recalled and
calculated values from the display due to very slight
wheel movement.

Locking Modes, Scales and Units
Your Scale Master Classic comes equipped
with a lock switch that prevents inadvertently
changing drawing scales. When the lock is
activated, a lock symbol will be displayed in the
LCD. While active, the Mode, Scale and Units
cannot be revised.
Turning the Clicker & Beep On/Off
To toggle the rolling click o or on, press

“count” and error/notication beep o or on.
Using the Custom Scale/Ruler
e default value (after a Clear All/Software
Reset) for Custom Scale is one-to-one (e.g.,
1 inch equals 1 inch). is lets you use your
Scale Master Classic as a rolling ruler, which is
especially useful for measuring irregular shapes.
1) To reset your Custom Scale setting to a one-
to-one ratio, press [RESET]+ [SUBTRACT/
COUNT]to perform a Clear All.
2) en press the [MODE] key until the
“custom” mode appears.
3) Begin rolling.

Clears values stored in memory M1+ and M2x.
Converting Between Scales
e Scale Master Classic can automatically
convert values between scales. For example, 20
feet rolled in 1/16"scale will be converted to
10 feet in 1/8"scale. You may want to roll a
value in one scale and then add that exact value
(unconverted) to a value rolled in another scale.
1) Roll a value and press [M1+]. Press
[SCALE] to change scales.
2) Roll another value and press [M1+].
3) Press
[RCL] [M1+] to recall the combined total.

You can use the [SUBTRACT/COUNT]key to
count items such as electrical outlets, drains, etc.
Press [MODE]until you nd the “count”
mode. en press the [SUBTRACT/COUNT]
key to count the items.
You can use the [M1+] and [M2x] memory
keys to store or accumulate the counts for two
dierent items. After you have a count value,
press [M1+] or [M2x] to store it.
