- 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
als
! 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
ew
measured values in reverse order (m³ - m²)
• Instructions for proper measurement
tool
! do not move the tool during measuring (except in
ble
continuous measurement mode)
- do not cover reception lens A 3 and laser beam
opening B 3 when measuring
ge of
- in unfavorable conditions (e.g. when measuring
outdoors at intense sunlight) use laser enhancing
se
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)
able
- 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

• 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
e), if
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 measurement:
- 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
• Belt bag for easy and convenient storage #
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
