– To switch on the measuring tool without the laser, briefly press the on/off button (5)
[ ].

Measuring process
Once switched on, the measuring tool is in the length measurement function. For a differ-
ent measuring function, press the [Func] button (7). Use the [+] button (3) or the [–]
button (8) to select the required measuring function (see "Measuring functions",
page16). Activate the measuring function with the [Func] button (7) or with the meas-
uring button (2) [ ].
Once the measuring tool has been switched on, the rear edge of the measuring tool is se-
lected as the reference level for measurement. To change the reference level (see "Se-
lecting the reference level (see figureA)", page15).
Apply the measuring tool to the point at which you want to start the measurement (e.g.
wall).
Note: If the measuring tool has been switched on using the on/off button (5) [ ], briefly
press the measuring button (2) [ ] to switch the laser on.
To initiate the measurement, briefly press the measuring button (2) [ ]. Then the laser
beam is switched off. For a further measurement, repeat this process.
u Do not direct the laser beam at persons or animals and do not stare into the laser
beam yourself (even from a distance).
Note: The measured value typically appears within half a second, and no later than ap-
proximately four seconds. The duration of the measurement depends on the distance,
the lighting conditions and the reflective properties of the target surface. Upon comple-
tion of the measurement, the laser beam is automatically switched off.
Selecting the reference level (see figureA)
You can choose between three different reference levels for the measurement:
– The rear edge of the measuring tool (e.g. when placing against walls)
