Measuring from a Tripod
If you are placing the tool on a tripod to measure
the height of a tall building, follow these steps
(Figure
S
).
1.
Screw the 1/4-20" hole on the back of the tool
onto the 1/4-20" connection on the top of your
tripod (Figure
S
1
).
2.
Point the tool's laser (Figure
A
1
) toward a wall
or object, and not toward anyone's eyes.
3.
Press (Figure
A
3
) to turn the tool on and
display the red laser dot.
4.
Make sure the tool position setting (Figure E 4 )
is to measure from the tripod connection.
5.
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
3
).
6.
Point the laser at the lowest point of the wall or
object whose height you need to measure
(Figure
S
2
).
7.
Press to take the measurement.
8.
Point the laser at other points on the wall or object
(Figure
S
3
).
9.
When ready, press to take the measurement.
10.
On the bottom line of the screen, view the height
of the wall or object (Figure
S
4
).
Positioning Studs
When you are framing a wall, use the Stakeout
feature to easily mark the position of each stud
(Figure
U
).
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 set to to measure from the back of the tool.
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
3
).
5.
Determine the distance between each stud, for
example, 12".
6.
Click and until the top number on the
screen is set to the distance from the right edge
of one stud to the left edge of the next (e.g., 12")
(Figure
U
1
).
7.
Line up the back of the tool with the right edge of
the last stud that is nailed in (Figure
U
2
).
8.
Press to start measuring the distance as you
slowly move the tool to the right.
9.
Continue moving the tool to the right until the
bottom number on the screen is 0.00 in
(Figure
U
3
).
10.
Press to stop measuring.
11.
Using a pencil, mark the location where the left
edge of the stud should be nailed into the wall
frame.
12.
Nail the left edge of the stud at the marked
location.
13.
For each remaining stud in the wall frame, repeat
steps 7-12 (Figure
U
4
).
Measuring an Angle
If you need to determine the angle at which
something is positioned, use the tool to measure
that angle.
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
