* STUD FINDER
Your tool may be equipped with a stud finder
located on top of your tool.
To remove, simply slide off the housing
towards the back of the tool.
Before first use, open the battery compartment
door and remove the protective plastic insert
from between the batteries. Assure proper
battery placement as shown in the
compartment and replace the door (Fig. 4).
Your stud finder uses four L1154 button cell
batteries.
To use, place stud finder flat against the wall
with LEDS pointing up. Be sure to keep your
fingers below the line on the stud finder to
avoid false readings (Fig. 5).
Push and hold button to calibrate and activate
unit (Green LED) (Fig. 5). Slowly slide unit
horizontally across the wall without picking up
or tilting.
The yellow LED indicates you are
approaching a stud.
The red LED indicates stud edge. Mark this
spot.
With the button still depressed, continue
sliding the stud finder in the same direction
until the red LED turns off. This is the studs
other edge. Mark this spot.
The midpoint of the two marks is the center of
the stud.
A fault has occurred when all three LEDS
flash . To correct, simply restart the circuit.
Stud finders can detect
other objects besides
studs, such as electrical wiring and
metal/plastic pipes. Contact with a “live”
wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool
“live” and shock the operator.
(Studs are normally spaced 16 or 24 inches
apart and are 1-1/2" wide. Beware of anything
closer together or of a different width.) Always
turn off power when working near electrical
wires.
DRILL BIT STORAGE COMPARTMENT
AND QUICK REFERENCE GAUGE
Your tool may be equipped with a bit storage
compartment and quick reference gauge
located on top of your tool.
To remove, simply slide off the housing
towards the back of the tool.
The quick reference gauge will allow you to
identify the size of drill bits, and standard or
metric screws.
Hex bits can be slid in from the front for storage.
