Laser measuring tool 0530
INTRODUCTION
• This tool is intended for measuring distances indoors as
well as outdoors by means of laser beam projection
• When used properly, this tool easily and accurately
measures length, surface and volume
• Carefully read this instruction manual and pay
special attention to the safety instructions and
warnings; failure to follow these may result in
serious (eye) injury 1
• Before using the tool for the first time, paste the
supplied sticker in your national language over the

1) The measuring range increases depending on how well
the laser light is reflected from the target surface and
how bright the laser point is in relation to the ambient
light intensity
2) The measuring accuracy deviates +0,06% at
unfavorable conditions (e.g. at intense sunlight)

SAFETY
• Do not look into the laser beam (laser radiation) 2
• Do not point the laser beam at persons or animals
• Do not place the tool in a position that may cause
anyone to look into the laser beam intentionally or
unintentionally
• Do not use any magnifying optical tools (such as
magnifying glasses, telescopes, or binoculars) to view
the laser beam
• Do not remove or damage the warning label on the tool
• Do not operate the tool in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust
• Do not operate the tool with children around
• This tool should not be used by people under the age of
16 years
• Do not use the tool for any purpose other than those
mentioned in this instruction manual
USE
• Mounting of batteries 4
! ensure that the tool is switched off
- use exclusively alkaline-manganese or rechargeable
batteries
- turn tool upside down
- remove cover Q
- insert 4 x 1,5V battery (pay attention to correct
polarisation)
- mount cover Q
- when battery level is low, symbol 5 will appear in
display
- when symbol 5 appears in the display for the first
time, then at least 100 measurements are still
possible
- replace the batteries when symbol 5 starts flashing
(measuring no longer possible)
- always replace the complete set of batteries
- always remove the batteries from the tool, if the tool
will not be used for a long period
• On/off
- switch on the tool by either pressing “on/off” or “GO”
(the laser beam is not switched on yet)
- switch off the tool by pressing “on/off”
- the tool automatically switches off after 5 minutes of
inactivity
• Metre/feet conversion
- measurements are in metres/centimetres by default
- press button E 3 for converting metres/centimetres
into feet/inches
• Operating the tool 6
- switch on the tool (symbol 7 appears in display
indicating that the tool is already in the length
measurement mode)
- select other measurement mode (surface/volume), if
desired
