Working Advice

You can secure the measuring tool on vertical surfaces or magnetisable materials using the holder (15). In conjunction with the ceiling clip (19), the measuring tool can also be aligned vertically.

Place the measuring tool with the 1/4" tripod mount (13) on the 1/4" screw (17) of the holder and screw it tight.

Attachment options for the holder (15):

  • Using a commercially available fastening screw, it can be attached via the screw hole (18) to wood (see figure B)
  • Using the magnets (16), it can be attached to magnetisable materials (see figure C)
  • Using the ceiling clip (19), it can be attached to crown mouldings (see figure D).
  • Keep your fingers away from the rear side of the magnetic accessory while attaching the accessory to surfaces. The strong pulling force of the magnets may jam your fingers.

Roughly align the holder (15) before switching on the measuring tool.

The laser target plate (21) improves visibility of the laser beam in unfavourable conditions and at greater distances.

The reflective surface of the laser target plate (21) improves visibility of the laser line. The transparent surface enables the laser line to be seen from behind the laser target plate.

A tripod offers a stable, height-adjustable support surface for measuring. Place the measuring tool with the 1/4" tripod mount (13) on the thread of the tripod (24) or a conventional camera tripod. Use the 5/8" tripod mount (14) to secure the measuring tool on a conventional building tripod. Tighten the measuring tool using the locking screw of the tripod.

Roughly align the tripod before switching on the measuring tool.

You can secure the measuring tool, for example, on vertical surfaces or magnetisable materials using the universal holder (20). The universal holder is also suitable for use as a floor stand and facilitates the height adjustment of the measuring tool.

  • Keep your fingers away from the rear side of the magnetic accessory while attaching the accessory to surfaces. The strong pulling force of the magnets may jam your fingers.

Roughly align the universal holder (20) before switching on the measuring tool.

Use the laser receiver (23) to improve detection of the laser lines in adverse lighting conditions (bright environment, direct sunlight) and over greater distances.

All operating modes are suitable for operation with the laser receiver (23).

The laser goggles filter out ambient light. This makes the light of the laser appear brighter to the eye.

  • Do not use the laser goggles (accessory) as protective goggles. The laser goggles make the laser beam easier to see; they do not protect you against laser radiation.
  • Do not use the laser goggles (accessory) as sunglasses or while driving. The laser goggles do not provide full UV protection and impair your ability to see colours.

Examples of possible applications for the measuring tool can be found on the graphics pages.
