 Check the secure attachment of the measuring tool. Improperly secured
measuring tools can fall down and cause injury to yourself or other persons.
A falling down measuring tool can become damaged or cause damage.
Attachment with fastening straps (see figure C):
– Thread the fastening straps 25 through the openings 15 and attach the
measuring tool with both straps to a pipe or similar. Pay attention that
the Velcro attachment of the strap end is pressed against the fastening
strap. For thin pipes, thread the fastening strap through the openings
with the smooth side facing outward and wrap it once more around the
measuring tool; for thick pipes, thread the fastening strap through the
openings with the smooth side facing inward.
 Always secure the measuring tool with both fastening straps and
check the tight seating of the straps. The holding force of the straps
25 depends on the nature of the material that they are being fastened to.
Loosely attached measuring tools can slip down and become damaged
or cause damage.
 Do not allow children to use the fastening straps 25 without supervi-
sion. Possible danger of injury through the fastening straps.
Switching the Grade Measurement and Display On and Off
To switch on the grade measurement and display, press the On/Off button
2. The measuring tool is in grade measurement mode with standard zero
point.
To switch off the grade measurement and display, press the On/Off button
2 again.
When no button on the measuring tool is pressed for approx. 30 minutes
and its grade is not changed by more than 1.5°, then the grade measure-
ment and display are automatically switched off to save the battery. This
does not affect the laser.
Switching the Laser On and Off
To switch on the laser, press the On/Off button 19 to position "I".
 Do not point the laser beam at persons or animals and do not look in-
to the laser beam yourself, not even from a large distance.
To switch off the laser, press the On/Off button 19 to position "0".
 Do not leave the measuring tool unsupervised with the laser
switched on, and switch the laser off after use. Other persons could
be blinded by the laser beam.
When not using the laser, switch it off in order to save energy.
Changing the Unit of Measure (see figure A)
You can change between the units of measure "°", "%" and "mm/m" at any
time. For this, press the button for changing the unit of measure 5 as often
as required until the desired setting is displayed in indicator f. The current
measuring value is automatically converted.
The unit-of-measure setting is retained when switching the measuring tool
on or off.
Switching the Audio Signal On/Off
The audio signal can be switched on/off with the audio signal button 1.
When the audio signal is switched on, indicator c appears in the display.
The signal tone setting is maintained after switching the measuring tool off
and on again.
Measured-value Indication and Alignment Aids
For each movement of the measuring tool, the measured value is updated.
After moving the measuring tool to any extent, wait until the measured value
no longer changes before reading the value.
Depending on the position of the measuring tool, the measured value and
the unit of measure are indicated in the display rotated by 180°. Thus, the
indication can also be read for overhead work.
By means of the alignment aids a in the display the measuring tool indicates
the direction in which it has to be inclined, in order to reach the target value.
For standard measurements, the target value is the horizontal or the vertical
line; in "Copy" mode, the target value is the saved measuring value and
when changing the zero point, the target value is the saved zero point.
When the target value is reached, the arrows of the alignment aids a go out
and a continuous audio signal sounds when the audio signal is switched on.

Measuring Functions

Holding/Copying a Measured Value (see figure D)
Two functions can be controlled with the "Hold/Copy" button 6:
– Holding ("Hold") of a measured value, even when the measuring tool is
moved afterwards (e.g., because the measuring tool is in a position in
which the display cannot be read);
– Copying ("Copy") of a measured value.
"Hold" function:
– Press the "Hold/Copy" button 6. The current measured value b is held in
the display; all display elements flash, with exception of the measured
value.
– To switch to the "Copy" function, press the audio signal button 1; to start
a new measurement, press the "Hold/Copy" button 6.
