InstallingEnsure lasertheon/offBatteryswitch (A) is in the full off position by moving laser button to "O" position. Remove the battery compartment cover (H). Insert 2 fresh 1.5 volt AAalkaline batteries making sure to match (+) and (-) terminals correctly. Replace battery compartment cover.

WARNING: Batteries can explode, or leak, and can cause injury or fire. To reduce this risk:

• Carefully follow all instructions and warnings on the battery label and package. • Always insert batteries correctly with regard to polarity (+ and -), marked on the battery and the equipment. • Do not short battery terminals. • Do not charge batteries. • Do not mix old and new batteries. Replace all of them at the same time with new batteries of the same brand and type. • Remove dead batteries immediately and dispose of per local codes. • Do not dispose of batteries in fire. • Keep batteries out of reach of children. • Remove batteries if the device will not be used for several months.

“Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like. The US Department of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes (i.e. packed in suitcases and carryon luggage) UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits. So when transporting individual batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and well insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.”

STUDFor studDETECTIONdetection through up to 3/4 inch (19mm) thick drywall. Figure 1

1). Hold unit straight up and down and place flat against wall as shown in .

2). Press in and hold the detector on/off button (B). LCD screen (D) will light and detector will run initialization process.

3). READY message will appear on LCD screen and the unit will beep once to indicate it is calibrated and ready for detection.

4). Slide unit slowly, Figure 2, horizontally across surface of wall without lifting or tilting. When the STUD FOUND message appears on the LCD screen, slow down and keep sliding until EDGE message appears and beep sounds as shown in Figure 3. This is the stud edge. Mark this spot (at arrow on lower part of unit).

5). Keep moving past mark until EDGE and STUD FOUND disappear.

6). Continue holding detector button and reverse direction.

7). Find and mark other stud edge, following step 4).

8). Center of the stud is between marks.

ACTestWIREon aSENSINGknown “live” AC wire before each use. For AC Detection up to 1-1/2 inches (38mm) from the surface. The sensor detects AC voltage and will identify only live wires. AC voltage detection feature works continuously when detecting studs. It assists in identifying when the sensor is near live AC wiring and detector button (B) is depressed. Once AC voltage has been detected AC wire indicator LED (C) will light.

If the unit is calibrated close to AC wire, it may decrease AC wiring sensor sensitivity. Static charge may spread detection 12 inches (30.4cm) on both sides of wire.

WARNING: Occasionally, pipes and electrical wiring may not be detected by this product. Observe caution when cutting or drilling into areas that may contain concealed pipes or wiring. The sensor will not detect live wires inside metal pipe or metal conduit, behind metallic wall covering, or behind some plywood or other dense materials.

Use caution if area has plywood, thick wood backing behind drywall, or thicker than normal walls.

WARNING: Always turn off the power when working near electrical wires, electric shock may result.

AUTOOperationLEVELINGof Laser:LASERPlaceLINESunit flat against wall as shown in Figure 1. Move laser on/off button (A) to "I" position to actuate the auto leveling horizontal laser lines.

HANGINGHands FreeONOperationDRYWALLofSURFACESLaser: To hangONLYthe unit on a wall, remove the orange protective cap from the drywall pin (F) and store it on the cone as shown in Figure 4. Push pin into drywall (Figure 5). When pressing pin into drywall, make sure it is straight and seated firmly. Hang the laser on the cone as shown in Figure 6 and check to make sure that the unit is secure on the wall. Figure 7 illustrates a typical application for the laser when it is wall

mounted. Pin is sharp and should be handled with care. The drywallpin should always be pushedCAUTION:in by hand and never driven by a hammer. Replace protective cap after each use. NOTE: The pin is only for use on drywall NOT other surfaces including plaster.

HANGINGHands FreeONOperationOTHER SURFACESof Laser: For surfaces other than drywall, the (key hole) hanging cone (E) can be used with a standard nail or screw in a predrilled hole. To usethe keyhole hanging cone, place it over a nail or screw on a vertical surface with the narrow portion of the opening pointing upward. Push the laser onto the hanging cone until it snaps into place. To remove the laser, lift it slightly and pull it straight off. The unit can also be used with the hanging cone attached to the back and then hanging the unit on the nail or screw. Makesure it is straight and seated firmly on the cone and that the unit is secure on the wall.

DANGER: Laser Radiation, avoid direct eye exposure.

•HelpfulIf the laserHintslight becomes dim or is no longer visible when the switch is in the on position check or change the battery.

•The laser lines are only level on the wall against which the unit is held or hung. The short line visible on any adjacent wall is not level.

•The laser unit is a wall use tool only and only generates level lines when held against a vertical surface.

•The laser unit is equipped with a pendulum lock that stops pendulum motion when the laser on/off switch is moved to the off position.

•If the laser on/off switch is pushed part way to the on position, the laser lines may be on while the pendulum lock is still engaged.

•Hold stud sensor straight up and down.

•HBecauselpful studsHintsare(Con’t)normally. spaced 16 inches or 24 inches apart and are 1-1/2 inches wide, beware of anything closer together or of a different width. Doors and windows are constructed with studs and headers which are closer together.

•When using unit over a stucco wall, place a piece of cardboard overthe surface to help

•provide a smooth motion acrossthe wall.

•AvoidCarpetingmaterialsand paddingwhich have inconsistent density suchas:

•Ceramic floor tile

•Wallpaper containing metallic foils orfibers. Generally,surfaces covered with regular wallpaper or fabric will scan with no difference in function.

•Walls that are freshly painted and are still damp.

•Excessively thick plaster and lath.
