The person responsible for the product must ensure that
all users understand these directions and adhere to them.
The symbols used have the following meanings:
WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation or an unintended use
which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation or an unintended use
which, if not avoided, may result in minor injury and/or appreci-
able material, financial and environmental damage.
Important paragraphs which must be adhered to in practice
as they enable the product to be used in a technically
correct and efficient manner.

•The result is shown in the main line and the measured distance above.
•A reduced level of accuracy, lower than the level of accuracy of the instrument
itself, must generally be expected when the Pythagoras measuring method is
used. In order to obtain the best results we recommend to use a tripod or to flip
out the corner end piece.
•Pressing the measuring key for 2 sec in the function activates automatically
