Measuring Functions - Bosch GLM 40 Professional Manual Original

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. To switch the laser beam on again, briefly press the measuring but-
ton (2) [ ]. To initiate a further measurement, briefly press the measuring button
(2) [ ] again.
Do not direct the laser beam at persons or animals and do not stare into the laser
u
beam yourself (even from a distance).
In the continuous measurement mode, the measurement begins immediately upon
switching on the function.
Note: The measured value typically appears within 0.5 seconds and no later than
4 seconds. The duration of the measurement depends on the distance, the lighting con-
ditions and the reflective properties of the target surface. Upon completion of the meas-
urement, the laser beam is automatically switched off.
