Subtracting 2 Measurements 
You can subtract one measurement from another 
(Figure 
J
).
1.
  Point the tool's laser (Figure 
A
 
1
) toward a wall 
or object, and not toward anyone's eyes.
2.
  Press   (Figure 
A
 
3
) to turn the tool on and 
display the red laser dot.
3.
  Make sure the tool position setting (Figure 
E
 
4
) 
is correct for taking the measurement.
4.
  If   is not already displayed as the current 
function (Figure 
E
 
5
), click the current function 
icon and then select   from the list of 
functions (Figure 
G
 
1
).
5.
  Select - to indicate that you want to subtract one 
measurement from another.
6.
  Point the tool's laser toward the wall or object 
whose distance you need to measure  
(Figure 
J
 
1
).
7.
  Press   to measure the distance from the tool 
to the wall or object.
8.
  Point the tool's laser toward the next wall or object 
(Figure 
J
 
2
).
9.
  Press   to measure the distance and subtract it 
from the previous measurement.
10.
 View the difference between the two 
measurements at the bottom of the screen  
(Figure 
J
 
3
).
Measuring Continuously 
To take a series of measurements as you move 
around, change to Continuous Measure mode  
(Figure 
C
).
1.
  Point the tool's laser (Figure 
A
 
1
) toward a wall 
or object, and not toward anyone's eyes.
2.
  Press   (Figure 
A
 
3
) to turn the tool on and 
display the red laser dot.
3.
  Make sure the tool position setting (Figure 
E
 
4
) 
is correct for taking the measurement.
4.
  If   is not already displayed as the current 
function (Figure 
E
 
5
), click the current function 
icon and then select  from the list of 
functions (Figure 
G
 
1
).
5.
  Point the tool's laser (Figure 
A
 
1
) toward 
the wall or object whose distance you need to 
measure (Figure 
C
 
1
).
6.
  At the bottom of the screen, view the current 
measurement (Figure  C   2 ), which will keep 
changing as you move the tool.
7.
  To take the current measurement (from the tool to 
the wall or object) and exit Continuous Measure 
mode, press  .
To take a new measurement, press   to move the 
current measurement up to the previous line on the 
screen. Then repeat steps 4-8.
Measuring Area 
1.
  Point the tool's laser (Figure 
A
 
1
) toward a wall 
or object, and not toward anyone's eyes.
2.
  Press   (Figure 
A
 
3
) to turn the tool on and 
display the red laser dot.
3.
  Make sure the tool position setting (Figure 
E
 
4
) 
is correct for taking the measurement.
4.
  If   is not already displayed as the current 
function (Figure  E   5 ), click the current function 
icon and then select   from the list of functions 
(Figure 
G
 
1
).
5.
  Measure the width (Figure  K   1 ).
•  Position the tool at one end of the wall, floor, 
or object and point the laser dot across the 
width. (Figure 
K
 
1
 shows where to position 
the tool if you are measuring from the bottom 
of the tool.)
•  Press   to display the width measurement at 
the top of the screen.
