INSTRUCTION MANUAL

Laser Safety

Read the following safety instructions before attempting to operate this product. Keep these instructions in a safe place for future reference.

WARNING! SAVE ALL WARNINGS & INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
Read and understand all instructions.

• Use the tool only with the specifically designated batteries.
• Store the tool out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Laser tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Repairs, services,s or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel will void the warranty. Only approved and authorized service technicians can carry out warranty repairs.
• Do not use optical tools such as a telescope or transit to view the laser beam. Serious eye injury could result.
• Do not place the tool in a position that may cause anyone to intentionally or unintentionally stare into the laser beam. Serious eye injury could result.
• Do not position the tool near a reflective surface which may reflect the laser beam toward anyone’s eyes. Serious eye injury could result.
• Do not use the tool at a position where the laser beam can cross any person at head height.
• Do not let children come in contact with the tool.
• Turn the tool off when it is not in use. Leaving the tool on increases the risk of staring into the laser beam.
• Do not operate the tool around children or allow children to operate the tool. Serious eye injury may result.
• Do not remove or deface warning labels.

FIGURE 6

Pythagoras measurement

• To calculate the unilateral distance of a triangle Pythagorean mode can be used. When taking measurements of the triangle, ensure the length of the right side is shorter than the length of the hypotenuse.
  If not, the instrument will display an error signal.

• To ensure the accuracy of measurement, take measurements from the same starting point of the first-order hypotenuse. Then follow with the measurement of the right side. Please follow the instructions according to the method required. (See Figs.5-8 determine the appropriate method).

1. Calculate the side of a right-angle triangle (Fig.7)
   Press the area/volume / Pythagoras button three times to enter Pythagorean mode. Follow the instructions displayed on the screen as follows:
   • Press the red button to measure the length (a) of the hypotenuse.
   • Press the red button to measure the length (b) of the rectangular side.
   • Length (x) will be calculated automatically with results shown on the display screen. FIGURE 7

2. Calculate the hypotenuse of a right-angle triangle (Fig.8)
   Press the area/volume / Pythagoras button five times to enter Pythagorean mode. Follow the instructions displayed on the screen as follows:
   • Press the read button to measure the length (a) of the rectangular side.
   • Press the read button to measure the length (b) of the next rectangular side.
   • Length (x) of the hypotenuse will be calculated automatically with results shown on the display screen. FIGURE 8

3. Calculate the partial length of a right-angle triangle (Fig.9)
   Press the area/volume / Pythagoras button seven times to enter
   Pythagorean mode. Follow the instructions displayed on the screen as follows:
   • Press the red button to measure the length (a) of the hypotenuse.
   • Press the red button to measure the length (b) of the second hypotenuse.
   • Press the red button to measure the length (c) of the rectangular side.
   • Length (x) of the vertical side will be calculated automatically with results shown on the display screen.
