Battery safety
information
DANGER TO LIFE! Batteries
are not intended for children. If accidentally
swallowed seek immediate medical attention.
CAUTION!
EXPLOSION HAZARD!
Never recharge non-rechargeable batteries
and do not short-circuit and/or open any
batteries.
Never throw batteries into fire or water.
Do not exert mechanical loads to batteries.
Risk of battery leakage
In the event the batteries leak, remove them
from the device immediately to prevent damage.
Do not let the fluid from a leaking battery come
into contact with your skin, eyes or mucous
membranes. In the event of contact with bat-
tery acid, thoroughly flush the affected area
with clean water and seek immediate medical
attention.
Use only the recommended battery type. Do
not use old and new batteries together.

9GB/CY
Avoid extreme environmental conditions and
temperatures, which could affect batteries,
e.g. above radiators/in direct sunlight.
Remove the batteries from the device if they
have not been used for a long period.
Risk of property damage
Only use the specified battery type!
When inserting the battery ensure the correct
polarity! This is shown in the battery compart-
ment.
If necessary, clean the battery and device con-
tacts before inserting the battery.
Promptly remove used batteries from the product.
Inserting/changing
the battery
If the battery symbol appears in the display
7
,
the inserted battery is almost drained and must be
replaced. Empty batteries can falsify the measured
result.
To insert the battery proceed as follows:
Open the battery compartment cover on the
back of the device. You can remove the used
battery more easily with the aid of the material
strip, which is inside the battery compartment
6. Just pull on the material strip.
Remove the used battery.
Plug the contacts of the 9V-blockbattery on
the contacts of the profiled plug. Make sure
you fit the batteries the right way round. This
is specified by the profiled shape of the con-
tacts. Also ensure without fail that the material
strip is underneath the battery.

10 GB/CY
Insert the battery in the battery compartment
and close the cover again, so that it audibly
latches into place.
Start-up
Before you take a
measurement
Ensure that both measuring pins 2touch the
surface of the material at the same time.
Increase the pressure on the measuring pins
for rough surfaces if necessary.
For delicate surfaces complete the measure-
ment on a section that is not in the visible
area.
Note: The measuring pins are sharp and
may dent or damage the surface.
Rub the damp residue on the surface before
taking the measurement.
Measure several places and take an average
value.
Be aware that salts can increase the conduc-
tivity of water. This can lead to incorrect
readings and results that are too high.
Remove the bark from firewood if needed.
Press the measuring pins against the grain in
various places on the wood.
Taking a measurement
Press the button 5to switch on the
moisture measuring device. On the display 7
‚0.0%‘, the surrounding temperature in °C

11GB/CY
and the previously selected material (1–6)
appears.
Press the button 4and hold it down for
approximately 5 seconds to switch the tem-
perature display between °C and °F.
If the display does not show ‚0.0 %‘ after
switching it on, you can calibrate the device.
Do this as follows:
Open the battery compartment 6, remove
the batteries and press the RESET button with
a pointed object, this button is on the bottom
of the device in the middle.
Press the MODE button 3again to set the
moisture measuring device to the material
you wish to measure.

If you are taking a measurement in an area in
which you cannot read the display, press the
button to freeze the result on the display. The
display will then also show the lock symbol.
Press the button again to take another
measurement.
If you have completed your measurement,
switch the moisture measuring device off with
the button. Then reattach the protective cap.
