*) The range improves the better the laser light is returned from
the surface of the target (dispersing, not refl ecting) and the
brighter the laser is compared to the ambient light (interior
rooms, twilight).
**) In unfavourable conditions such as strong sunlight or poorly
refl ective surfaces, the maximum deviation is ± 8mm at 20m.
In favourable conditions, a deviation influence of ± 0.1mm/m
must be taken into account.

EN 60825-1:2014
CAUTION LASER RADIATION! DO NOT STARE
INTO BEAM! CLASS 2 LASER PRODUCT!
Never look directly into the laser beam or into the opening
from which it emerges.
Looking at a laser beam through optical instruments (e.g.
magnifying glasses etc.) can cause eye injuries.
ATTENTION! If operating and adjustment equipment is used
or procedures other than those specified here are carried
out, this may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Never aim the laser beam at reflective surfaces, people or
animals. Even brief visual contact with a laser beam can
result in eye injuries.
Safety instructions for batteries/

Measuring lengths
Briefly press the MEAS button 4again to activate the laser
beam. Once the laser is switched on, this is indicated on
the top left corner of the display 3by the icon 7.
Note: If laser beam is already activated, the above men-
tioned step can be skipped.
Now aim the laser at the target point. Briefly press the
MEAS button 4again. If the measurement is successful
the measured value will be shown on the bottom line of the
display 3and the laser beam will be turned off.
If needed to measure another distance, repeat above steps.
Newly measured value will be shown on the bottom line of
the display 3and the previous measured value will be
shown in the middle of the display 3. Now, the laser
beam will be turned off.
