Assembly
Battery charging
The battery can be charged from a USB port or USB power
supply (min. 500mA) by using the micro USB cable.
Recommendations for optimal handling of the battery
Only store the battery in the permitted temperature range
(see "Technical data"). Do not leave the battery in your car in
the summer, for example.
A significantly reduced operating time after charging indicates that the battery has deteriorated and must be replaced.
Follow the instructions on correct disposal.
do not leave it in a car for extended periods of time. In
case of large variations in temperature, allow the measuring tool to adjust to the ambient temperature before putting it into operation. The precision of the measuring tool
may be compromised if exposed to extreme temperatures or variations in temperature.
u Avoid substantial knocks to the measuring tool and
avoid dropping it. Always carry out an accuracy check
before continuing work if the measuring tool has been
subjected to severe external influences (see "Checking
accuracy and calibrating the grade measurement (see figureH)", page14) and (see "Accuracy check of the distance measurement", page14).
Switching on/off
Operation
Start-Up
u Protect the measuring tool from moisture and direct
sunlight.
u Do not expose the measuring tool to any extreme tem-
u Never leave the measuring tool unattended when
switched on, and ensure the measuring tool is
switched off after use. Others may be dazzled by the
laser beam.
The following options are available for switching on the
measuring tool:
peratures or variations in temperature. For example,
1 609 92A 4R8 | (13.02.2019)Bosch Power Tools
English | 11
– Pressing the on/off button (8): The measuring tool is
switched on in the length measurement function. The
laser is not switched on.
– Pressing the measuring button (2): Measuring tool and
laser are switched on. The measuring tool will be in the
length measurement function. When the measuring tool is
inserted in the measuring rail (24), the grade measurement function is activated.
u Do not direct the laser beam at persons or animals and
do not stare into the laser beam yourself (even from a
distance).
To switch off the measuring tool, press and hold the on/off
button (8).
If no button on the measuring tool is pressed for approx. five
minutes, then the measuring tool will automatically switch itself off to preserve battery life.
If the angle has not been changed for approx. five minutes
while the measuring tool is in the "grade measurement" operating mode, the tool will automatically switch itself off to preserve battery life.
All saved values are retained when the tool is automatically
switched off.
Measuring process
After the measuring tool has been switched on by pressing
the measuring button (2), the tool is always in the length
measurement function by default, or in the grade measurement function if the tool has been inserted into the measuring rail (24). Other measuring functions can be switched to
by pressing the respective function button (see "Measuring
functions", page12).
Once the measuring tool has been switched on, the rear
edge of the measuring tool is selected as the reference level
for measurement. You can change the reference level by
pressing the reference level selection button(10) (see "Selecting the reference level (see figureA)", page11).
Apply the measuring tool with the selected reference level to
the point at which you want to start the measurement (e.g.
wall).
To switch on the laser beam, briefly press the measuring button (2).
u Do not direct the laser beam at persons or animals and
do not stare into the laser beam yourself (even from a
distance).
Aim the laser beam at the target surface. To initiate the
measurement, briefly press the measuring button (2) again.
While the laser beam is continuously switched on, measurement will begin after the first press of the measuring button
(2). In the continuous measurement function, measurement
begins as soon as the function is activated.
The measured value typically appears within 0.5 seconds
and no later than 4 seconds. The duration of the measurement depends on the distance, the lighting conditions and
the reflective properties of the target surface. The end of the
measurement is indicated by an audio signal. Upon completion of the measurement, the laser beam is automatically
switched off.
If no measurement has been performed within approx.
20seconds of aim being taken, the laser beam is switched
off automatically to preserve battery life.
Selecting the reference level (see figureA)
You can choose between four different reference levels for
the measurement:
– The rear edge of the measuring tool or the front edge of
the measuring pin (9) when it has been folded out by 90°
(e.g. when applying the tool to outer corners)
– The tip of the measuring pin (9) when it has been folded
180° (e.g. when measuring from a corner)
– The front edge of the measuring tool (e.g. when measur-
ing from a table edge)
– The centre of the thread (19) (e.g. for tripod measure-
ments)
To select the reference level, press the button (10) until the
required reference level is shown on the display. The rear
edge of the measuring tool is pre-set as the reference level
every time the measuring tool is switched on.
It is not possible to make a retrospective alteration to the reference level for measurements that have already been taken
(e.g. when displaying measured values in the measured
value list).

Continuous laser beam
u Do not direct the laser beam at persons or animals and
do not stare into the laser beam yourself (even from a
distance).
In this setting, the laser beam remains switched on even
between measurements; measurement simply requires one
brief press of the measuring button (2).
Measuring functions
Simple length measurement
For length measurements, repeatedly press the button (12)
until the indicator for length measurement appears on the
display.
Briefly press the measuring button (2) once to
switch on the laser and once to measure.
The measured value is displayed in the result
line (c).
For multiple consecutive length measurements, the results
of the last measurements are shown in the measured value
lines (a).
Area measurement
For area measurements, repeatedly press the button (12)
until the indicator for area measurement appears on the
display.
Then measure the width and length one after the other as
with a length measurement. The laser beam remains
switched on between the two measurements.
Once the second measurement has been completed, the area is automatically calculated and
displayed in the result line (c). The individual
measured values can be found in the measured
value lines (a).
Volume measurement
For volume measurements, repeatedly press the button
(12) until the indicator for volume measurement ap-
pears on the display.
Then measure the width, length and depth one after the
other as with a length measurement. The laser beam remains
switched on between the three measurements.
Once the third measurement has been completed, the volume is automatically calculated
and displayed in the result line (c). The individual measured values can be found in the
measured value lines (a).
Values over 999,999m3 cannot be displayed; "ERROR" will
instead appear on the display. Divide the volume to be measured into individual measurements, the resulting values of
which you can calculate separately and then combine into an
overall total.
Continuous measurement and minimum/maximum
measurement (see figureB)
In continuous measurement mode, the measuring tool can
be moved relative to the target, during which the measured
value will be updated every half a second. You can, for example, move a desired distance away from a wall while reading off the current distance at all times.
For continuous measurements, repeatedly press the button
for changing function (4) until the indicator for continuous
measurement appears on the display. To start the continuous measurement, press the measuring button (2).
The minimum measurement is used to determine the
shortest distance from a fixed reference point. For example,
it can help in determining verticals or horizontals.
The maximum measurement is used to determine the
greatest distance from a fixed reference point. For example,
it can help in determining diagonals.
The current measured value is shown in the
result line (c). The maximum ("max") and minimum ("min") measured value appear in the
measured value lines (a). It is then always
overwritten if the current length measurement
value is smaller or larger than the previous minimum or maximum value.
Press the memory deletion button (8) to erase the previous
minimum or maximum values.
Press the measuring button (2) to end the continuous measurement. The last measured value is displayed in the result
line (c). Pressing the measuring button (2) again starts a
new continuous measurement.
Continuous measurement automatically switches off after
fiveminutes. The last measured value remains displayed in
the result line (c).
Indirect distance measurement
The indirect distance measurement is used to determine distances that cannot be measured directly, due to an obstacle
that would impede the path beam or the absence of a target
surface that could serve as a reflector. This measuring procedure can only be employed vertically. Any horizontal deviation will lead to measurement errors.
The laser beam remains switched on between the individual
measurements.
For indirect length measurements, three measuring modes
are available. Each measuring mode can be used for determining different distances.

a) Indirect height measurement (see figureC)
Repeatedly press the button for changing function (4) until
the indicator for indirect height measurement 1 appears on
the display.
Ensure that the measuring tool is at the same height as the
lower measuring point. Then tilt the measuring tool around
the reference level and measure distance (1) as for a length
measurement.
Once the measurement is complete, the result
for the required distance "X" is displayed in
the result line (c). The measured values for distance "1" and angle "α" can be found in the
measured value lines (a).
b) Double indirect height measurement (see figureD)
Repeatedly press the button for changing function (4) until
the indicator for double indirect height measurement
ap-
pears on the display.
Measure distances "1" and "2" in succession as for a length
measurement.
Once the measurement is complete, the result
for the required distance "X" is displayed in
the result line (c). The measured values for distances "1" and "2" and angle "α" can be found
in the measured value lines (a).
Ensure that the reference level for the measurement (e.g.
the rear edge of the measuring tool) remains in exactly the
same place for all the individual measurements in a single
measuring process.
a) Indirect length measurement (see figureE)
Repeatedly press the button for changing function (4) until
the indicator for indirect length measurement 1 appears on
the display.
Ensure that the measuring tool is at the same height as the
required measuring point. Then tilt the measuring tool
around the reference level and measure distance "1" as for a
length measurement.
Once the measurement is complete, the result
for the required distance "X" is displayed in
the result line (c). The measured values for distance "1" and angle "α" can be found in the
measured value lines (a).
Wall area measurement (see figureF)
The wall area measurement is used to determine the sum of
multiple individual areas with a common height.
In the illustrated example, the total area of several walls that
have the same ceiling height A but different lengths B is to
be determined.
For wall area measurements, repeatedly press the button for
changing function (4) until the indicator for wall area measurement appears on the display.
Measure the ceiling height A as with a length measurement.
The measured value ("cst") is displayed in the top measured
value line (a). The laser remains switched on.
Then measure the length B1 of the first wall.
The area is automatically calculated and dis-
played in the result line (c). The last measured
value for length can be found in the middle
measured value line.(a). The laser remains
switched on.
Now measure the length B2 of the second wall.
The individual measured value displayed in the
middle measured value line (a) is added to the
length B1. The sum of the two lengths ("sum",
displayed in the bottom measured value line
(a)) is multiplied by the saved height A. The total area value
is displayed in the result line (c).
You can measure any number of lengths Bx, which will be
automatically added and multiplied by the height A.
The requirement for a correct area calculation is that the first
measured length (for example the ceiling height A) is
identical for all sub-areas.
Grade measurement (see figureG)
Press the button for grade measurement (3) to bring up the
indicator for grade measurement on the display. The rear
of the measuring tool serves as the reference level. Press the
button for grade measurement (3) again to use the sides of
the measuring tool as a reference level and rotate the display
view by 90°.
Press the measuring button (2) to fix the measured value
and transfer it to the measured value memory. Press the
measuring button (2) again to continue the measurement.
If the display flashes during measurement, the measuring
tool has been tipped too heavily to the side.
If the "digital spirit level" function is activated in the basic
settings, the grade value is also displayed in the other measuring functions in line (d) of the display (1).
Timer function
The timer function is useful when the measuring tool should
be kept stationary during measurement, for example.
Press and hold the button for the timer function (6) to bring
up the indicator on the display.
The time period between triggering the timer and starting
measurement is displayed in the measured value line (a).
The time period can be set between 1–60 seconds by pressing the plus button (11) or minus button (5).
The measurement is made automatically after
the set time period has expired.
The timer function can also be used for dis-
tance measurements within other measuring
functions (e.g. area measurement). It is not possible to add
or subtract measuring results or carry out continuous measurement.
List of the last measured values
The measuring tool stores the last 20 measured values and
their calculations and displays them in reverse order (with
the most recent measured value displayed first).
Bosch Power Tools1 609 92A 4R8 | (13.02.2019)

To retrieve the saved measurements, press the
button (7). The result of the last measurement
appears on the display, along with the indicator for the measured values list (e) and with
storage space for the numbering of the dis-
played measurements.
If no further measurements are saved upon pressing the but-
ton (7) again, the measuring tool switches back to the last
measuring function. Press one of the buttons for the measuring functions to exit the list of measured values.
To permanently save the currently displayed measured
length value as a constant, press and hold the button for the
list of measured values (7) until "CST" is shown on the display. An entry in the list of measured values cannot be retrospectively saved as a constant.
To use a measured length value in a measuring function (e.g.
area measurement), press the button for the list of measured values (7), select the desired entry and confirm it by
pressing the results button (6).
Deleting measured values
Briefly pressing the button (8) will delete the last measured
value in all measuring functions. Repeatedly pressing the
button briefly will delete the individual measured values in
reverse order.
To delete the currently displayed entry in the list of measured values, briefly press the button (8). To delete the complete list of measured values and the constant "CST", press
and hold the measured value list button (7) and at the same
time briefly press the button (8).
In the wall area measurement function, a brief first press of
the button (8) will delete the last individual measured value;
a second press will delete all lengths BX; a third will delete
the ceiling height A.
Adding measured values
To add measured values together, first perform any measurement or select an entry from the list of measured values.
Next, press the plus button (11). "+" will appear on the display as confirmation. Then perform a second measurement
or select another entry from the measured value list.
Press the results button (6) to retrieve the sum
of both measurements. The calculation is
shown in the measured value lines (a) and the
sum is displayed in the result line (c).
When the sum has been calculated, you can add more measured values or measured value list entries to this result if you
press the plus button (11) before each measurement. Press
the results button (6) to end the addition.
Information on addition:
– Mixtures of length, area and volume values cannot be ad-
ded together. For example, if a length value and an area
value are added together, "ERROR" will appear briefly on
the display when the results button (6) is pressed. The
measuring tool will then switch back to the most recently
active measuring function.
– The result of a measurement (e.g. volume value) is always
added; for continuous measurements, the measured
value displayed in the result line (c) is added. It is not
possible to add individual measured values from the
measured value lines (a).
Subtracting measured values
To subtract measured values, press the minus
button (5); "-" will appear on the display as
confirmation. The subsequent steps are the
same as for the "Adding measured values" sec-
tion.
Practical advice
General advice
The reception lens (17) and the laser beam output (16)
must not be covered during the measuring process.
The measuring tool must not be moved during a measurement (with the exception of the continuous measurement
and grade measurement functions). For this reason, place
the measuring tool against or on a firm surface whenever
possible.
Influences on the measuring range
The measuring range depends on the lighting conditions and
the reflective properties of the target surface. For better visibility of the laser beam when working outdoors and in bright
sunlight, use the laser viewing glasses (27) (accessory) and
the laser target plate (28) (accessory) or shade the target
area.
Influences on the measurement result
Due to physical effects, the possibility of inaccurate measurements when measuring various surfaces cannot be excluded. These include:
– Transparent surfaces (e.g. glass, water)
– Reflective surfaces (e.g. polished metal, glass)
– Porous surfaces (e.g. insulating materials)
– Structured surfaces (e.g. roughcast, natural stone).
If necessary, use the laser target plate (28) (accessory) on
these surfaces.
Inaccurate measurements are also possible where the laser
is pointed at target surfaces diagonally.
Layers of air at different temperatures and indirectly re-
ceived reflections can also influence the measured value.
Checking accuracy and calibrating the grade
measurement (see figureH)
Regularly check the accuracy of the grade measurement.
This is accomplished by means of a reverse measurement.
To do this, lay the measuring tool on a table and measure the
inclination. Turn the measuring tool by 180° and measure
the inclination again. The difference between the displayed
values must not exceed 0.3°.
In case of greater deviation, the measuring tool must be recalibrated. To do this, press and hold the grade measurement button (3). Follow the directions on the display.
Accuracy check of the distance measurement
You can check the accuracy of the measuring tool as follows:
1 609 92A 4R8 | (13.02.2019)Bosch Power Tools
English | 15
– Choose a measuring section of approx. 1–10 m in length
that is permanently unchanged, the exact length of which
is known to you (e.g. room width, door opening). The
measuring section must be indoors, and the target surface of the measurement must be smooth and reflect
well.
– Measure the section ten times in succession.
The deviation between the individual measurements and the
mean value must not exceed ± 2mm. Record the measurements in order to be able to compare the accuracy later on.
Working with the tripod (accessory)
The use of a tripod is particularly necessary for larger distances. Place the measuring tool with the 1/4" thread (19)
on the quick-release plate of the tripod (26) or a conventional camera tripod. Tighten it using the locking screw of the
quick-release plate.
Set the reference level for measurements with a tripod by
pressing the button (10) accordingly (thread reference
level).
Working with the measuring rail (see figuresI–K)
The measuring rail (24) can be used for a more exact grade
measurement result. Distance measurements are not possible with the measuring rail.
Insert the measuring tool into the measuring
rail (24) as shown and lock the measuring tool
in place with the locking lever (25). Press the
measuring button (2) to activate the "measuring rail" operating mode.
Regularly check the accuracy of the grade measurement by
means of a reverse measurement or the levels on the measuring rail.
In case of greater deviation, the measuring tool must be recalibrated. To do this, press and hold the grade measurement button (3). Follow the directions on the display.
To end the "measuring rail" operating mode, switch off the
measuring tool and remove it from the measuring rail.
