Assembly

Inserting/Changing the Battery

It is recommended that you use alkaline manganese batteries to operate the measuring tool.
Do not use lithium-ion batteries. This may result in damage to the measuring tool.

To open the battery compartment cover (4), press on the locking mechanism (5) and remove the battery compartment cover. Insert the battery. When inserting the batteries, ensure that the polarity is correct according to the illustration on the inside of the battery compartment. Close the battery compartment before using the measuring tool. If the battery is running low, the light-up ring (2) will flash yellow three times after the tool is switched on. The measuring tool can be operated for approx. another 15 min.

Take the battery out of the measuring tool if you do not intend to use the tool for a long time. When it is stored in the measuring tool for longer periods, the battery can corrode and discharge itself.

Attaching the Measuring Tool

Selecting/changing the pad

The measuring tool can be attached to walls or other vertical surfaces. Depending on the type of substrate, either the gel pad (15) or the pin pad (6) can be used. As a general rule: The gel pad (15) is suitable for smooth surfaces. The pin pad (6) is suitable for coarse or rough surfaces and wallpaper on drywalls. The pin pad cannot be attached to concrete (regardless of the surface).

Substrate for attaching with the

BOSCH-Atino-Line-Laser-fig-8

To change the gel pad, turn the gel pad holder (14) anticlockwise and take the gel pad (15) and holder off the measuring tool. Attach the pin pad (6) and turn it clockwise as far as it will go. The same procedure should also be followed when switching from the pin pad to the gel pad.

Attaching with the gel pad

Requirements

The substrate must be dry and firm.
The gel pad is not guaranteed to stick to damp, particularly dusty, sharp-edged or highly textured surfaces. If attached to unsuitable surfaces such as these, the measuring tool can fall off and become damaged or damage the substrate.
If the gel pad becomes dirty or does not stick to smooth surfaces any more, it must be cleaned or replaced (see “Cleaning the Gel Pad”,).
Before every use, select an inconspicuous area lower down on the desired surface to check whether the gel pad will stick to this substrate, and that it can be safely removed without damaging the substrate.
Always remove the measuring tool once you have finished taking a measurement, or if the substrate is being worked on in some manner (e.g. drilling, screwdriving, or hammering).

Positioning the measuring tool on the substrate:

Turn the protective cap (16) of the gel pad anticlockwise and remove it. Remove the protective film from the gel pad before using it for the first time.
Gently press the measuring tool against the substrate until it is firmly affixed. Applying excessive pressure may damage the measuring tool.

Removing the measuring tool from the substrate:

Push the measuring tool carefully away from the substrate. Removing the measuring tool from a delicate surface too quickly can damage the substrate.
Place the protective cap (16) on the gel pad (15) so that the locking markings (17) on the protective cap and gel pad are pointing towards each other. Then turn the protective cap clockwise all the way.
The measuring tool should only ever be transported and stored with the protective cap attached. If the gel pad becomes dirty, it will lose its adhesive strength.

Attaching with the Pin Pad

The substrate must be dry and firm.
Insert the pins into the recesses on the pin pad. Ensure that the pins are securely affixed to the substrate.
Always remove the measuring tool once you have finished taking a measurement, or if the substrate is being worked on in some manner (e.g. drilling, screwdriving, or hammering).

Operation

Starting Operation

Special Safety Instructions for Operation

Protect the measuring tool from moisture and direct sunlight.
Do not expose the measuring tool to any extreme temperatures or variations in temperature. For example, 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.
Avoid substantial knocks to the measuring tool and avoid dropping it. Damaging the measuring tool can cause accuracy to be compromised. Calibrate the measuring tool after it has been dropped or subjected to heavy impact. Check the laser line by comparing it with a known horizontal or vertical reference line.

Switching On/Off

To switch on the measuring tool, briefly press the On/off button (1). The light-up ring (2) flashes green three times when the battery has sufficient capacity. The laser line lights up immediately after switching on the measuring tool.

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, briefly press the on/off button (1) again.
Never leave the measuring tool unattended when switched on, and ensure the measuring tool is switched off after use. Others may be blinded by the laser beam.
If no button on the measuring tool is pressed for approx. 15 minutes and the housing is not rotated, the measuring tool will automatically switch off to preserve battery life.

Levelling a Laser Line

When attaching the measuring tool vertically, the laser line can either be levelled horizontally to the right (90°) or left (270°), or vertically upwards (0°) or downwards (180°). If the measuring tool is not aligned vertically, the laser line can only be used as a non-levelled reference line. The levelling status is indicated by means of the light-up ring (2):

BOSCH-Atino-Line-Laser-fig-9

Working Advice

Working with the Tape Measure

The zero point of the tape measure (11) is situated in the centre of the marking aid (18), it can be marked directly on the substrate.

Note: The zero point marking can be offset by up to ±1 mm compared to the laser line.

Pull the tape measure housing (10) away from the measuring tool and mark additional points at the required distances at the height of the laser line. Do not pull the tape measure (11) out any further than up to the end of the imprinted scale. You can double the work area by placing the measuring tool in the middle of the work surface and measuring on two sides one after the other. The tape measure will roll itself up again automatically.

Note: Do not let go of the unrolled tape measure (11). Uncontrolled retraction may damage the tape measure.

Calibrating the Laser Line

Calibration should be carried out in the following cases:
- After the tool has been dropped or subjected to heavy impact
- Every 6 months
If necessary, check the levelling of the laser line on a known horizontal or vertical reference line.
Always perform a thorough and complete calibration to avoid incorrect measuring results.
- Attach the measuring tool to a vertical surface.
- While the measuring tool is either switched on or off, press the on/off button (1) for at least 3 s until the laser beam starts flashing and the light-up ring (2) is no longer lit.
- Slowly and evenly rotate the housing of the measuring tool once by more than 360°.
The rotation should take at least 15 s.
- The calibration process is completed successfully once the light-up ring (2) lights up green.
- If the light-up ring (2) lights up red after calibration, the calibration has failed. Restart the calibration.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning

Keep the measuring tool clean at all times.
Never immerse the measuring tool in water or other liquids.
Wipe off any dirt using a damp, soft cloth. Do not use any detergents or solvents.

Cleaning the Gel Pad

Clean the gel pad (15) whenever it has become contaminated with dust or other particles, or if its adhesive strength has been reduced.
Only wash the gel pad when it has been detached from the tool.

Rinse the gel pad (15) with water. Wash it as necessary using a common household neutral soap or a detergent. Do not use any cleaning agents that contain alcohol or solvents. Leave the gel pad, holder and protective cap to dry completely. The gel pad must not be warmed up (e.g. through warm air or heating).
If the adhesive strength is still not sufficient even after the gel pad (15) has been cleaned, it should be replaced.
