LINE

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.

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.

!WARNING 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.
