TOOLCRAFT 2865714 2-in-1 Laser Measuring Tape
Intended use
This product is a 2-in-1 laser measuring tape equipped with a 40 m (135 ft) digital laser measure and a 5 m (16 ft) tape measure. The digital laser features multiple measurement functions, including distance measurement, real-time measurement, area, volume, as well as 2-point Pythagoras and 3-point Pythagoras for indirect height or width measurements. The product is ideal for measuring distances between two surfaces, estimating carpets, tiles, measuring a wall for painting, or measuring the height of a wall without using a ladder. The product is intended for indoor use only. Do not use it outdoors. Contact with moisture must be avoided under all circumstances. If you use the product for purposes other than those described, the product may be damaged. Improper use can result in short circuits, fires or other hazards.

All repairs must be performed by a qualified technician or an authorised repair centre. The device is not a toy. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets. Do not leave packaging material lying around carelessly. This may become dangerous playing material for children. If you have questions which remain unanswered by these operating instructions, contact our technical support service or other technical personnel. Maintenance, modifications and repairs must only be completed by a technician or an authorised repair centre.
Handling
Please handle the product carefully. Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a low height can damage the product.
Operation
Do not leave the product unattended when it is turned on. To avoid the risk of injury, always retract the tape measure slowly and carefully. Consult an expert when in doubt about the operation, safety or connection of the appliance. If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, take it out of operation and protect it from any accidental use. DO NOT attempt to repair the product yourself. Safe operation can no longer be guaranteed if the product:
- is visibly damaged,
- is no longer working properly,
- has been stored for extended periods in poor ambient conditions or
- has been subjected to any serious transport-related stresses.
Laser beam
- When operating the laser equipment, always make sure that the laser beam is directed so that no one is in the projection area and that unintentionally reflected beams (e.g., from reflective objects) cannot be directed into areas where people are present.
- Laser radiation can be dangerous, if the laser beam or its reflection enters unprotected eyes. Therefore, before using the laser equipment, familiarise yourself with the statutory regulations and instructions for operating such a laser device.
- Never look into the laser beam and never point it at people or animals. Laser radiation can seriously damage your eyes.
- If laser radiation enters your eyes, close your eyes immediately and move your head away from the beam. If your eyes have been irritated by laser radiation, do not continue to carry out tasks with safety implications, such as working with machines, working from great heights or close to high voltage. Also, do not operate any vehicles until the irritation has completely subsided.
- Do not point the laser beam at mirrors or other reflective surfaces. The uncontrolled, reflected beam may strike people or animals.
- Never open the device. Setting or maintenance tasks must only be executed by a trained specialist familiar with potential hazards. Improperly executed adjustments might result in dangerous laser radiation.
- The product is equipped with a class 2 laser. Laser signs in different languages are included in the package. If the sign on the laser is not written in the language of your country, please affix the appropriate sign onto the laser.
- Caution: if operation settings or procedures other than those described in these instructions are used, it could lead to exposure to dangerous radiation.

Product overview
Using the tape measure
- Press and hold the
measure button for 5 seconds until the display and laser turn off. - Pull out the tape measure to start measuring.
- Push the thumb lock down to lock the tape when required.
- Retract the tape measure slowly and in a controlled manner after use. Use the thumb lock to help control the retraction speed, and guide the tape with the other hand as it retracts into the product. Keep fingers away from the edges of the metal tape to prevent cuts.
Charging the battery
Before first use, or when the display shows an empty battery icon, fully charge the built-in rechargeable battery. The charging time is 2 – 3 hours.
- Open the charging input cover by gently lifting the tab on the cover, as illustrated. The cover is permanently attached to the product. Do not remove it.
- Connect the USB charging cable (included) to the USB-C® input on the product.
- Connect the other end of the charging cable to a USB power adaptor. Do not charge the battery via a USB port on your computer as the power supply will not be sufficient. The display will show the battery charging animation while the battery is charging, and will show a solid full battery icon when charging is complete.
- Once fully charged, disconnect the charging cable and close the USB-C® charging input cover.
Turning the product on/off
WARNING: Do not look directly into the laser beam or project the laser beam directly into the eyes of others. Serious eye injury can result.
- To turn the product on, press the measure button. The display and laser will turn on.
