Cautions on Operating
You should always use caution when nailing, cutting and drilling in walls, ceilings and floor that
may contain wiring and pipes near the surface. Always remember that studs or joists are normally
spaced16inches(41cm)or24inches(61cm)apartandare1½inches(38mm)inwidth.Toavoid

OPERATING TIPS

Prevent Interference
To ensure best performance from the Stud Sensor 150, keep your free hand at least 6 inches
(15cm) away from the unit and wall surface while testing or scanning surfaces.
