Before every use, select an inconspicuous area lower down on the desired surface to
check whether the gel pad will stick to this substrate, and that it can be safely removed
without damaging the substrate.
Always remove the measuring tool once you have finished taking a measurement, or if
the substrate is being worked on in some manner (e.g. drilling, screwdriving, or hammer-
ing).
Positioning the measuring tool on the substrate:
Turn the protective cap(15) of the gel pad anticlockwise and remove it. Remove the pro-
tective film from the gel pad before using it for the first time.
Gently press the measuring tool against the chosen surface until it is firmly affixed. Ap-
plying excessive pressure may damage the measuring tool.
If the laser line is intended to appear at a certain height on the wall, this height should be
marked in advance. Then position the measuring tool on the wall so that the height mark-
ing is situated in the centre of the marking aid(1) of the measuring tool.
Removing the measuring tool from the substrate (see figureA):
Carefully remove the measuring tool from the substrate as shown in the image. Removing
the measuring tool from a delicate surface too quickly can damage the substrate.
After removing the tool, check that the gel pad(14) is still clean. If it has become dirty, it
should be cleaned as necessary.
Place the protective cap(15) on the gel pad(14) and turn it clockwise to lock it in place.
The measuring tool should only ever be transported and stored with the protective cap
attached. If the gel pad becomes dirty, it will lose its adhesive strength.
Attaching with the pin pad (seefigureB)
The substrate must be dry and firm.
To ensure the attachment is secure, position the measuring tool with the pin pad(7) on
the substrate so that the pins are diagonally aligned to the measuring tool. It is not re-
commended to attach with pins horizontally or vertically to the measuring tool.
Insert the pins into the recesses on the pin pad. Ensure that the pins are securely affixed
to the substrate.
If the laser line is intended to appear at a certain height on the wall, this height should be
marked in advance. Then position the measuring tool on the wall so that the height mark-
ing is situated in the centre of the marking aid(1) of the measuring tool.
Always remove the measuring tool once you have finished taking a measurement, or if
the substrate is being worked on in some manner (e.g. drilling, screwdriving, or hammer-
ing).
