Operation
Measuring Conditions
Range
Range is limited to 60 m.
At night or dusk and if the target is in shadow the
measuring range without target plate is increased.
Use a target plate to increase the measurement
range during daylight, or if the target has poor reflec-
tion properties!
Target Surfaces
CAUTION:
Measuring errors can occur when measuring
toward colourless liquids (e.g. water) or dust free
glass, Styrofoam or similar semi-permeable surfaces.
Aiming at high gloss surfaces may deflect the laser-
beam and lead to measurement errors.
Hazards of Use
CAUTION:
Watch out for erroneous distance measure-
ments if the instrument is defective or if it has been
dropped or has been misused or modified.
Precautions:
Carry out periodic test measurements.
Particularly after the instrument has been subject to

abnormal use, and before, during and after important
measurements.
Make sure the Milwaukee LM 60 optic is kept clean
and that there is no mechanical damage to the
bumpers.
CAUTION:
In using the instrument for distance measure-
ments or for positioning moving objects (e.g. cranes,
building equipment, platforms, etc.) unforeseen
events may cause erroneous measurements.
Precautions:
Only use this product as a measuring sensor, not as
a control device. Your system must be configured and
operated in such a way, that in case of an erroneous
measurement, malfunction of the device or power
failure due to installed safety measures (e.g. safety
limit switch), it is assured that no damage will occur.
Switching on/off
1x briefly: the instrument and the laser are
switched on.
The display shows the battery symbol until
the next button is pressed.
Pressing this button for longer switches the
instrument off.
The instrument switches off automatically after
three minutes of inactivity.
Setting the instrument
Press long until the desired unit is displayed.
Possible units:
CLEAR-Key
1x briefly: the last action is cancelled.

Reference Setting
Default reference setting is from the rear of the
instrument.
The instrument can be set for the following measure-
ments:
• To measure from an edge (see drawing ), fold
out the stop bracket until it snaps in for the first
time. See drawing .
• To measure out of a corner (see drawing ),
fold out the stop bracket until it snaps in, push
the stop bracket with a little force to the right
side; the stop bracket can now be completely
unfolded. See drawing .
CAUTION:
Make sure that when measuring from the
unfolded endpiece, the measuring reference is set to
"End piece"!
1x briefly: the next measurement is taken from
the front edge.
2x briefly: the measurement is taken from the
unfolded end piece.
After one measurement, the reference returns auto-
matically to the default setting (rear reference).
1x long: the measurements are taken with the
front as reference until a new measuring refer-
ence is set
2x long: the measurements are taken from the
unfolded end piece until a new measuring refer-
ence is set.
See drawing .

The result of the area measurement is displayed in
the summary row, the two previously measured
values in intermediate lines 1 and 2.
Indirect Measurement
The instrument can measure distances with the
Pythagorean method. This procedure facilitates in
measuring distances that are difficult to access.
)Adhere to the prescribed sequence of meas-
urements:
• All target points must be vertical or horizontal on
the surface of the wall.
• The best results are achieved when the intrument
is rotated around a fixed point (e.g. the stop
bracket is fully extended and the instrument is
placed against a wall).
• To take the measurement, the minimum/
maximum function can be called up. The minimum
value is used for measurements that must be at
right-angles to the target; the maximum distance
is used for all other measurements.
)Make sure that the first measurement and the
distance to be measured are at right angles. Use the
minimum/maximum function.
Indirect measurement - determining a
distance using 2 auxilliary measurements
See drawing
3x briefly: the symbol is displayed.
The distance to be measured flashes in the symbol.
1x briefly: takes a measurement of the distance

zontal distance
The result of the function is displayed in the summary
row.
If the button is pressed for along time while
measuring a distance, maximum or minimum contin-
uous measuring is activated.

If the button is pressed for along time while
measuring a distance, maximum or minimum contin-
uous measuring is activated.
Stake out function
This function is helpful when staking out equal
distances, e.g in the erection of wooden substruc-
tures. See drawing
5x briefly: the symbol is displayed.
A value is displayed in the summary row (default
value 1.000 m). This value can be adjusted to the
desired stake out distance.
The value is increased.
The value is reduced.
Holding the button down accelerates the speed at
which the value changes.
1x briefly: starts continuous measurement.
In intermediate line 1, the set distance or the next
appropriate multiple thereof is displayed.
In the summary row, the distance to the next appro-
priate stake out point is displayed.
When approaching a stakeout point (to less than
0,10 m), the instrument starts to beep. When the
point is reached, the beep sound changes and inter-
mediate line 1 starts to flash.
1x briefly: distance measurement is interrupted
and the instrument switches back to individual
distance measuring mode.
Historical memory
1x briefly: the symbol and the last measured
value are displayed.
Use the "+" or "-" buttons to navigate through the
last 10 values. The values can also be used in func-
tions.
Using stored values in functions
Using added distances in area functions (e.g. wall
surfaces or painters):
Adding distances (see additions / subtractions)
Call up area function to e.g. measure the height
of a room.
1x briefly: calls up the historical memory and to
possibly search for the correct value.
1x long: the value is entered into the function
and the result of the function (e.g. area) is
displayed.
Timer (self-triggering)
1x briefly: The symbol is displayed.
The timer is preset to 5 seconds.
The value is increased.
The value is reduced.

* Use a target plate to increase the measurement range
during daylight or if the target has poor reflection properties!
** in favourable conditions (good target surface properties,
room temperature) up to 10 m. In unfavourable conditions,
such as intense sunshine, poorly reflecting target surface or
high temperature variations, the deviation over distances
above 10 m can increase by ± 0.15 mm/m.
Electromagnetic Compatibility
(EMC)
The term "electromagnetic compatibility" is taken to
mean the capability of the product to function
smoothly in an environment where electromagnetic
radiation and electrostatic discharges are present,
and without causing electromagnetic interference to
other equipment.
WARNING
The Milwaukee LM 60 conforms to the most
stringent requirements of the relevant standards and
regulations.
Yet. the possibility of the product causing interfer-
ence in other equipment cannot be fully excluded.
Laser classification
The Milwaukee LM 60 produces a visible laser beam
which emerges from the front of the instrument.
See drawing .
The product is a Class 2 Laser Product in accordance
with:
• IEC60825-1 : 2007 "Radiation safety of laser
products"
Class 2 Laser Products:
Do not stare into the beam or direct it unnecessarily
at other persons. Eye protection is normally afforded
by aversion responses including the blink reflex.
WARNING
Looking directly into the laser beam with
optical aids (e.g. binoculars, telescopes) can be
hazardous.
Precautions:
Do not look directly into the beam with optical aids.
CAUTION:
Looking into the laser beam may be hazardous
to the eyes.
Precautions:
Do not stare into beam. Do not look into the laser
beam. Make sure the laser is aimed above or below
eye level (particularly with fixed installations, in
machines, etc.).
