• Metre/feet conversion
Pressing button E 4repeatedly will subsequently
convert the measurement into millimetres, feet/inches,
and feet
• Operating the tool 7
- switch on the tool (symbol 8appears in display
indicating that the tool is already in the length
measurement mode)
- select other measurement mode (surface/volume/
indirect/continuous), if desired
- press “CLR” for returning from surface/volume/
indirect/continuous measurement mode to length
measurement mode
- the tool measures from its rear by default (the tool
length is included in the measuring result); press
button K 4for measuring from the front of the tool
- press “GO” to switch on the laser beam (symbol 9
will appear in display)
- aim the tool towards the target surface at a right
angle (use bubble level P 4)
! do not look into the laser beam
! do not point the laser beam at persons or animals
- press “GO” again; measured value appears in display
(laser beam switches off automatically)
- the laser beam also automatically switches off when
during approximately 20 seconds after switching on
the laser beam no measurements have been taken
! the measuring range is significantly reduced in
unfavorable conditions (especially when
measuring outdoors at intense sunlight) resulting
in error signals on the display
• Instructions for proper measurement
! do not move the tool during measuring (except in
continuous measurement mode)
- do not cover reception lens A 4and laser beam
opening B 4when measuring
- in unfavorable conditions (e.g. when measuring
outdoors at intense sunlight) use laser enhancing
glasses (SKIL accessory 2610395907) for increasing
the visibility of the laser dot
- when measuring against transparent, reflecting,
porous or structured surfaces, place a piece of paper
on the target surface
• Surface measurement 0
- press button G 4
- aim the tool towards the first target surface (length)
- press “GO” to switch on the laser beam
- press “GO” again; measured length appears on top
and bottom line of display
- aim the tool towards the second target surface
(width)
- press “GO” again; measured width appears on top
line of display while calculated surface appears on
bottom line of display
- press “GO” again for starting a completely new
surface measurement
- press “CLR” for returning to length measurement
mode
• Volume measurement !
- press button H 4
- aim the tool towards the first target surface (length)
- press “GO” to switch on the laser beam
- press “GO” again; measured length appears on top
and bottom line of display
- aim the tool towards the second target surface
(width)
- press “GO” again; measured width appears on top
line of display while calculated surface appears on
bottom line of display
- aim the tool towards the third target surface (height)
- press “GO” again; measured height appears on top
line of display while calculated volume appears on
bottom line of display
- press “GO” again for starting a completely new
volume measurement
- press “CLR” for returning to length measurement
mode
• Indirect height measurement @
- press button J 4
- aim the tool towards the first target surface (length)
- press “GO” to switch on the laser beam
- press “GO” again; measured length appears on top
and bottom line of display
- aim the tool towards the second target surface
(height)
! tilt the tool, but do not change its rear position
- press “GO” again; measured length of diagonal line
appears on top line of display while calculated height
appears on bottom line of display
! ensure that the second measurement is longer
than the first measurement
- press “GO” again for starting a completely new
indirect height measurement
- press “CLR” for returning to length measurement
mode
! always keep in mind that indirect height
measurement results in just a rough indication,
and should only be used when a better and more
accurate approach is not possible
• Continuous measurement #
- press “GO” for 2 seconds (symbol $starts flashing
and an acoustic signal sounds with a rapid tone
sequence)
- the laser beam remains switched on, so that the
actual distance can be read out continuously
- press “GO” or “CLR” for interrupting the continuous
measurement (the current measured value is
indicated in the display)
- the continuous measurement mode automatically
switches off after 10 minutes (the last measured
value remains indicated in the display) and can also
be ended by selecting another measurement mode
• Recall of previous measurements
- press “RCL” for reviewing previous measurements,
starting with the last measured distance (10 at the
maximum)
