SAFETY GUIDELINES - DEFINITIONS

It is important for you to read and understand this manual. The information it contains relates to protecting YOUR SAFETY and PREVENTING PROBLEMS. The symbols below are used to help you recognize this information.

DANGER: Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result

in death or serious injury.

WARNING: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could

result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result

in minor or moderate injury.

CAUTION: Used without the safety alert symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation

which, if not avoided, may result in property damage.

Safety Instructions

• Do not operate the stud sensor in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.

• Use the stud sensor only with AAA batteries. Use of any other batteries may create a risk of fire.

CAUTION: Material thickness, type of material, moisture content, and other variables can effect sensing results. The sensor may detect electric wiring or pipes in the same manner that studs are detected depending on their location to the wall surface. Use caution when drilling, nailing or cutting into walls, floors and ceilings which may contain electrical wiring or pipes. Because studs are normally spaced 16 inches (406 mm) or 24 inches (610 mm) apart and are usually 1-1/2 inches (38 mm) wide, beware of anything closer together or of a different width. WARNING: Always turn off the power when working near

electrical wires.

Operation -

Using the Level

Gecko Grip levels are designed with slider pads (1) and non-slip, grip assist pads (2). This unique feature is helpful when using the level on vertical surfaces. To use this feature:

• Place the level on a vertical surface. The slider pads will allow you to easily align the bubble to a level position (centered between the two lines in the spirit vial).

• Press in on the level to allow the grip assist pads to grip to the vertical surface.

• Holding the level with one hand, use a pencil in your free hand to make whatever location markings are needed.

CAUTION: Do not let go of the level. The grip assist pads are not intended to hold the

level to the wall by themselves. NOTE: Optimal Gecko Grip performance will be achieved when:

• The pads are free of dust and dirt. Performance of the grip assist pads may be restored by wiping them using a damp cloth.

• Surface is flat allowing both grip assist pads to contact surface.

Using the ACCU MARK Adjustable Marking Targets (BDSL10 only)

Adjustable marking targets (6) are located on both ends of the level. They are used for transferring and or repeating a measurement from one location to another. To use this feature:

• Align the targets with the wall mounts of the object you want to hang on a wall as shown in figure A.

• To transfer that measurement to your work area, ensure bubble is aligned to a level position and mark the wall mount locations through the slots in the targets using a pencil as shown in figure B.

• Install appropriate fasteners to wall and hang object.

Using the Stud Sensor (BDSL30 only) Installing the Batteries

• Remove the small torpedo level (7) from the larger 2 foot (610mm) level as shown in figure C.

• Remove and discard the label over the battery compartment cover.

• Open the battery compartment cover (10). Insert 2 fresh 1.5 volt AAAbatteries (not included) making sure to match (+) and (-) terminals correctly.

• Replace battery compartment cover and click into place.

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 carry on 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.”

Stud Sensing

• Remove the stud sensor/level as shown in figure C.

• Place sensor on wall and turn unit on by pressing in and holding the ON button (8). The bottom red LED will light (figure D). The green LED will light momentarily while unit calibrates. NOTE: The red LED will flash when batteries are weak. Replace batteries for accurate stud sensing.

MISE EN GARDE : lire attentivement toutes les directives. Le non-respect des directives indiquées ci-dessous peut entraîner des risques de choc électrique, d’incendie ou de blessures corporelles graves.

CONSERVER CES DIRECTIVES

LIGNES DIRECTRICES EN MATIÈRE DE SÉCURITÉ - DÉFINITIONS

Il est important que vous lisiez et compreniez ce mode d’emploi. Les informations qu’il contient concernent VOTRE SÉCURITÉ et visent à ÉVITER TOUT PROBLÈME. Les symboles ci-dessous servent à vous aider à reconnaître cette information.

DANGER : Indique une situation dangereuse imminente qui, si elle n’est pas évitée, causera

la mort ou des graves blessures.

AVERTISSEMENT : Indique une situation potentiellement

dangereuse qui, si elle n’est pas évitée, pourrait causer la mort ou de graves blessures.

MISE EN GARDE : Indique une situation potentiellement dangereuse qui, si elle n’est pas

évitée, pourrait causer des blessures mineures ou modérées.

MISE EN GARDE : Utilisé sans le symbole d’alerte à la sécurité, indique une situation potentiellement dangereuse qui, si elle n’est pas évitée, peut résulter en des dommages à la propriété.

Directives de sécurité

• Ne pas faire fonctionner le détecteur de montant dans un milieu déflagrant, en présence de liquides, de gaz ou de poussières inflammables par exemple.

• Utiliser le détecteur de montant uniquement avec des piles AAA. L’utilisation de toute autre pile peut provoquer un incendie.

MISE EN GARDE : les résultats de détection dépendent de l’épaisseur et du type de matériau, de la teneur en humidité et d’autres variables. Le détecteur peut repérer les câblages électriques ou les tuyaux de la même façon que les montants sont détectés selon leur emplacement relativement à la surface du mur. Être prudent pour le perçage, le clouage ou la coupe dans les murs, les planchers et les plafonds pouvant contenir des câblages électriques ou des tuyaux. Les montants étant généralement espacés de 406 mm (16 po) ou de 610 mm (24 po) et présentent une largeur habituelle de 36 mm (1 1/2 po), être prudent pour tout ce qui est moins espacé ou de largeur différente.

AVERTISSEMENT : toujours effectuer une mise hors tension au moment de travailler près des fils électriques.

Fonctionnement -

Utilisation du niveau

Les niveaux Gecko Grip sont pourvus de coussinets coulissants (1) et de coussinets adhérents non glissants (2). Cette fonction unique est utile lorsque le niveau est utilisé sur des surfaces verticales. Utilisation de cette fonction :

• Mettre le niveau sur une surface verticale. Les coussinets coulissants vous permettront d’aligner facilement la bulle à une position de niveau (centrée entre les deux lignes de la fiole).

• Exercer une pression sur le niveau pour faire coller les coussinets adhérents à la surface verticale.

• Tout en tenant le niveau d’une main, utiliser un crayon de l’autre main pour inscrire les repères d’emplacement nécessaires.

MISE EN GARDE : toujours tenir le niveau. Les coussinets adhérents ne sont pas

conçus pour maintenir le niveau au mur de manière autonome. REMARQUE : le rendement optimal Gecko Grip est atteint lorsque :

• Les coussinets sont exempts de poussière et de saleté. On peut rétablir le rendement des coussinets adhérents en les nettoyant avec un chiffon humide.

• La surface est plate ce qui permet aux deux coussinets adhérents d’être en contact avec la surface.

On utilise les cibles de repère réglables ACCU MARK (BDSL10 uniquement)

Les cibles de repère réglables (6) sont situées aux deux extrémités du niveau. Les cibles sont utilisées pour transférer ou répéter une mesure d’un endroit à un autre. Utilisation de cette fonction :

• Aligner les cibles avec les montants muraux de l’objet que vous voulez accrocher au mur comme le montre la figure A.

• Pour transférer cette mesure à votre zone de travail, s’assurer que la bulle est alignée à une position de niveau, puis inscrivez les emplacements des montants dans les fentes pratiquées dans les cibles à l’aide d’un crayon comme le montre la figure B.

• Poser des attaches appropriées au mur, puis accrocher l’objet.

Utilisation du détecteur de montant (BDSL30 seulement) Pose des piles

• Enlever le petit niveau torpedo (7) du grand niveau de 610 mm (2 pi) comme le montre la figure C.

• Enlever et éliminer l’étiquette du couvercle du logement des piles.

• Ouvrir le couvercle (10) du logement des piles. Insérer 2 piles neuves AAAde 1,5 volts (non incluses) et s’assurer de bien respecter la polarité (+) et (-).

• Remettre le couvercle en l’enclenchant en position.
