SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Failure to follow warnings may result in bodily injury.
The following warnings must be followed to avoid
injury:
•DO NOT remove warning labels.
• DO NOT use optical tools such as a transit to
view laser beam. Serious eye injury could result.
• DO NOT project the laser beam directly into the
eyes of others.
• DO NOT stare directly at the laser beam.
• DO NOT project laser beam onto a reflective
surface.
• DO NOT operate around children, or allow
children to operate.
• DO NOT disassemble the laser.
• Always turn off laser when the tool is not in use.
WARNINGS:
IMPORTANT:Read all instructions prior to operating
the IntelliLLaasseerr™PPrrooand DO NOT remove any labels

IntelliLLaasseerr™PPrroo(77-500)
Main Stud Sensing/Laser Unit
The Stanley®IntelliLLaasseerr™PPrroouses electronic signals
to locate the position of studs, joists or live AC wires
through drywall and other common wall materials.
Once the edge of the stud has been detected, the
IntelliLLaasseerr™PPrrooLCD display gives visual and audio
indications that allow you to easily pinpoint the stud’s
edge position. A pencil line allows you to quickly note
the location of the stud edges.
The Stanley®IntelliLLaasseerr™PPrroostud sensor generates
a vertical laser plane. The unit can also be tilted to
produce a laser plane at any angle.
The IntelliLLaasseerr™PPrrooallows the user to locate wood
and metal studs through common wall materials up
to 1 1/2inches thick.
The IntelliLLaasseerr™PPrrooprovides automatic calibration ,
a backlit LCD screen, auto shut off and heavy duty
ABS construction.
Depth detection selected by side button for 1/2inch,
1inch and 1 1/2inch.

IntelliLaser™ Pro (77-500)
Laser Pod
The addition of the laser pod opens up the functionality
of the stud finder. The unit is mountable using adhesive
pads (included). Retractable feet keep the adhesive
away from the surface during placement. The laser pod
can be tilted ±10°once it is attached to the surface
without removing the adhesive. This allows for easy
repositioning of the laser plane. The laser pod can be set
to level, plumb or any other angle required. With the
laser pod mounted to the wall horizontally, you are free
to use the main stud sensor laser pod and mark both the
height and stud locations at the same time.
The IntelliLLaasseerr™™PPrroolaser pod generates a horizontal
or vertical laser plane. It can also be mounted to the wall
to reproduce any angle required.
The IntelliLLaasseerr™™PPrroolaser pod provides heavy duty
ABS construction with large rubber pads to provide a
firm grip and superior impact
resistance.

Application and Removal of Adhesive on Laser
Pod
1. To apply the adhesive to the unit, follow the steps
outlined in illustration 8.
2. Lower the standoff legs by pressing the release
button (see illustration 6).
3. Make sure that the adhesive plate is centered
so you have clearance to tilt the unit to either
side (see illustration 6).
4. Place the unit on the surface and position it
where required. Press the unit toward the wall
so the adhesive is applied and the legs lock in
the retracted position.
5. To remove the adhesive from the surface and
the laser unit, SSLLOOWWLLYYpull on the adhesive tab in
the direction shown.
Note: To assure a continued good bond of the adhesive
to the product, periodically wipe the sliding adhesive
plate (see illustration 6) with a swab dipped in
isopropyl or rubbing alcohol to keep the surface clean.
To remove the adhesive from
the surface and laser unit,
slowly pull the tab in the
direction shown.
Apply the 2nd adhesive pad
in the position shown.
Press the adhesive on to the
laser unit in the position shown.
Use the release liner to press the
adhesive to the unit. Then peel
away second release liner.

Calibration
Calibrate the unit on wall before scanning for wood
or metal stud.
Note: While calibrating, the IntelliLLaasseerr™PPrroomust
nnoottbe placed directly over a stud, dense material
such as metal, wet or newly painted areas as this
will prevent the unit from calibrating properly. If this
is done over wood or metal stud the unit will give
no indication when moved away from the area.
Move to a different location and try again.
1. Hold the IntelliLLaasseerr™PPrrooflat against the surface,
making firm contact. Press and hold the “On”
button. All indicators on the LCD are displayed
while the unit goes through its’ 1 to 3 second
calibration cycle. The word “CALIBRATING“ will
appear on LCD (illustration 4) while the unit is
calibrating to surface.
Following the completion of calibration, the unit
will beep and the word “READY” will be shown
on the LCD (illustration 9). The LED light will
illuminate the keypad showing the depth mode
(1/2” depth default).

away second release liner.
ILLUSTRATION 8
Remove the release
liner from 1 side.
Avoid touching adhesive.
WARNING: Do not pull the adhesive and/or laser pod
away from the surface. Damage to the surface may
result. If the tab separates from the adhesive, very slowly
pull the unit away from the surface to allow time for the
adhesive to gently separate from the surface/unit.
114C IM 14Aug06 8/14/06 7:40 PM Page 8

IMPORTANT:The unit can
not be moved before
calibration is complete.
“READY” will appear
on the LCD.
Notes:
1. Laser line is always on when
holding the “ON” button.
2. Continue to hold the “ON” button during stud
detection.
USAGE OF STUD SENSOR
Selecting depth detection
1. Depress and hold “ON” button once (1x) to select
to 1/2” read depth detection. The 1/2” mode LED
will illuminate (illustration 5). The unit will then
calibrate, followed by a beep and a “READY”
displayed on the LCD.
2. “Double-click”/Depress and hold “ON” button
twice (2x) to select 1” read depth selection. The
1” LED will illuminate (illustration 5). The unit will
then calibrate, followed by a beep and a “READY”
will appear on the LCD.
3. “Triple-click”/ Depress and hold “ON” button three
times (3x) to select 1-1/2” read depth selection.
The 1” LED will illuminate (illustration 5). The unit
will then calibrate, followed by a beep and a
“READY” will appear on the LCD.
Detecting Wood or Metal Studs
1. Once the unit is calibrated, slide the unit across
the surface in a straight line horizontally.
As the unit gets closer to the stud, the cross will
appear and the indicator rings will illuminate in

The unit will also sound a constant tone.
2. Use the indicator line to mark the stud edge.
3. Continue sliding past the stud until the indicator
turns off and the unit stops beeping.
4. Repeat steps 1 and 2 in the other direction.
5. The midpoint between the two marks is the stud
center.
