IMPORTANT: Please read these instructions before operating the product.
1. GENERAL SAFETY RULES
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
The label on your tool may include the following symbols:
- V: Volts
- mW: Milliwatts
- : Laser warning symbol
- nm: Wavelength in nanometers
- 2: Class 2 Laser
WARNING: Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in hazardous radiation exposure, electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
- Do not operate the laser in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
- Store idle laser out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Lasers are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
- Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
- 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 laser in a position which may cause anyone to intentionally or unintentionally stare into the laser beam. Serious eye injury could result.
- Do not position the laser near a reflective surface which may reflect the laser beam toward anyone's eyes. Serious eye injury could result.
- Turn the laser off when it is not in use. Leaving the laser on increases the risk of staring into the laser beam.
- Do not modify the laser in any way. Modifying the tool may result in hazardous laser radiation exposure.
- Do not operate the laser around children or allow children to operate the laser. Serious eye injury may result.
- Do not remove or deface warning labels. If labels are removed user or others may inadvertently expose themselves to radiation.
- Position the laser securely on a level surface. Damage to the laser or serious injury could result if the laser falls.
WORK AREA
- Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
- Do not operate laser tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
- Keep children and bystanders away while operating a laser tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
PERSONAL SAFETY
- Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a laser tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
- Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
- Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection may be required for appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE and CARE
- Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
- Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
- Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used on another tool.
SERVICE
- Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
- When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.
DISPOSAL / RECYCLE
- Do not place equipment and its accessories in the trash. Items must be properly disposed of in accordance with local regulations. Please see epa.gov/recycle for addition.

Primary Menu (see Figure B)
Press power button to turn on the device, and the system will automatically access the primary menu. The interface has three menu symbols:
- ? Measure Mode
- ⚙️ Settings Mode
- ?️ Records Mode
Tips: Press the up/down arrow keys to scroll to the desired mode, then press the power button to access the next-level menu.
Measurement Mode
Choose measure icon and press power button, then entering next interface, there are four measurement options to choose.
WARNING: Failure to follow the guidelines below may result in inaccurate measurements or no reading at all.
- Hold the device steady and avoid shaking during measurement.
- Position the measured surface perpendicular to the laser for optimal accuracy.
- Avoid measuring reflective surfaces (e.g., glass), as they may interfere with readings.
Distance Measurement
- To measure, press the power button. The measurement will be shown on the bottom of the display.
- Press the power button again, and the previous measurement will move to the middle line.
- Press the power button for a new measurement on the bottom line.
- Press the power button again, and the measurement from the middle line will move to the top line, while the measurement from the bottom line will move to the middle line.
Area Measurement
- To measure the width and length one after the other, as with a length measurement.
- The first measured value will be shown at the top of the display. The laser beam remains switched on between the two measurements.
- After the second measurement has been completed, the area will be automatically calculated and displayed. The end result will be shown at the bottom of the display, while the current measured value will be shown above it.
Volume Measurement
- To measure the width, length, and depth one after the other, as with a length measurement.
- The first measured value will be shown at the top of the display. The laser beam remains switched on between the three measurements.
- After the third measurement has been completed, the volume will be automatically calculated and displayed. The end result will be shown at the bottom of the display, while the current measured value will be shown above it.
Bubble Level
- Activate the bubble level measurement function, place the device on the plane to be measured, and ensure the surface is clean and flat to avoid affecting the measurement results.
- Observe the angle readings on the display as shown in the figure on the right, which displays the angles in both the X and Y directions.

7. TAPE MEASURE OPERATION GUIDE
1. Top Measuring (See Figure E)
With a movable magnetic hook, this tape ensures precise measurements by having the claw directly touch the target surface, eliminating hook errors. It uses the tape's top as the zero point for accuracy.
2. Hook Measuring (See Figure F)
Hook the target and slide the ruler hook to the right to avoid hook errors. It still uses the tape's top as the zero point for accurate results.
Tips: When powered on, pull out the tape to activate the tape measurement mode on the display.
- Press the power button to save the value after measurement.
- Press lock button 9 to retrack the tape.
- Press return button 3 to exit the tape measure display mode.
Precautions
- Keep the tape measure level or straight to avoid tilting errors.
- Retract the tape after use to prevent damage.
Maintenance and Care
- Clean the tape regularly to avoid dust or dirt buildup.
- Avoid impacts or bending to maintain accuracy.
- Store in a dry place to prevent rust.
