-
press “GO” to switch on the laser beam (symbol 8
will appear in display)
-
aim the tool towards the target surface
! do not look into the laser beam
! do not point the laser beam at persons or animals
- press “GO” again; measured value appears in display
(laser beam switches off automatically)
-
the laser beam also automatically switches off when
during approximately 20 seconds after switching on
the laser beam no measurements have been taken
!
keep in mind that the tool measures from its rear
(the tool length is included in the measuring result)
-
press “C” for clearing the last individual measured
value
-
press “C” repeatedly for clearing the last individual
measured values in reverse order (m³ - m²)
•
Instructions for proper measurement
! do not move the tool during measuring
(except in
continuous measurement mode)
-
do not cover reception lens A 3 and laser beam
opening B 3 when measuring
-
in unfavorable conditions (e.g. when measuring
outdoors at intense sunlight) use laser enhancing
glasses (SKIL accessory 2610395907) or place a
piece of paper on the target surface
-
measuring against transparent, reflecting, porous or
structured surfaces may lead to faulty measurements
•
Surface measurement
- press button G
3 (symbol 9 will appear in display)
-
aim the tool towards the first target surface (length)
-
press “GO” (symbol 8 will appear in display)
-
press “GO” again; measured length appears on top
line of display
-
aim the tool towards the second target surface
(width)
-
press “GO” again; measured width appears on top
line of display while calculated surface appears on
bottom line of display
-
press “GO” again for starting a completely new
surface measurement
•
Volume measurement
- press button H
3 (symbol 0 will appear in display)
-
aim the tool towards the first target surface (length)
-
press “GO” (symbol 8 will appear in display)
-
press “GO” again; measured length appears on top
line of display
-
aim the tool towards the second target surface (width)
-
press “GO” again; measured width appears on top
line of display while calculated surface appears on
bottom line of display
-
aim the tool towards the third target surface (height)
-
press “GO” again; measured height appears on top
line of display while calculated volume appears on
bottom line of display
-
press “GO” again for starting a completely new
volume measurement
•
Continuous measurement !
-
press button F 3 after switching on the tool
(symbol @ will appear in display)
-
press “GO” (symbol 8 will appear in display)
-
the laser beam remains switched on, so that the
actual distance can be read out continuously
-
press “GO” again for interrupting the continuous
measurement (the current measured value is
indicated in the display)
-
press “GO” again for restarting the continuous
measurement
-
the continuous measurement mode automatically
switches off after 5 minutes (the last measured value
remains indicated in the display) and can also be
ended by selecting another measurement mode
•
Storing/adding measured values
- after taking a measurement press “M+” for storing
the measured value
-
the letter “M” appears in the display and the plus-
sign underneath briefly flashes
-
add additional measured values to the memory value
with “M+” (possible only when the measuring units
correspond)
•
Subtracting measured values
- press “M-” in order to subtract the current measured
value from the memory value (possible only when the
measuring units correspond)
-
the letter “M” appears in the display and the minus-
sign underneath briefly flashes
•
Reading memory
- when pressing “M=”, the value stored in the memory
is displayed together with symbol “M=” (the last
measured value remains indicated in the display)
-
double the memory contents by pressing “M+”
- set memory contents to zero by pressing “M-”
• Clearing memory
First press “M=”, then press “C” (the letter “M” is no
longer displayed)
•
Faulty measurement
- when the measurement is unsuccessful, “ERROR”
appears in display
-
determine the cause, take corrective action, and take
the measurement again
Possible causes for faulty measur
ement:
- the measurement took place outside the measuring
range
-
the angle between laser beam and target was too
acute
-
the target surface reflected too intensely (e.g. mirror)
or insufficiently (e.g. black fabric), or the ambient light
was too bright
-
the reception lens A 3 or the laser beam opening
B 3 was misted up (e.g. due to a rapid temperature
change)
-
measured values were added/subtracted with non-
corresponding measuring units

APPLICATION ADVICE
• When corrective action cannot correct an error, or when
“FAIL” appears in display, measuring is no longer
possible; in this case send the tool to your dealer or the
nearest SKIL service-station
•
Do not expose the tool to continuous vibration or
extremely hot or cold temperatures
•
Always store the tool indoors in its protective carton/
case
