3. Operating Instructions
Using your measuring wheel for accurate distance measurement is straightforward:
- Positioning: Place the wheel at the starting point of the distance you wish to measure.
- Reset Counter: Ensure the counter display reads "0000.0" before starting. If not, press the reset button.
- Begin Measurement: Hold the handle firmly and walk in a straight line along the path to be measured. The wheel will rotate, and the counter will automatically record the distance.
- Reading the Display: The digital display shows the measured distance in meters, with one decimal place (e.g., 123.4 meters).
- Stopping Measurement: Stop walking when you reach the end point. The final reading on the display is the measured distance.
- Forward and Reverse: The counter adds distance when the wheel moves forward and subtracts when it moves backward, allowing for precise adjustments.
