SAFETY

• 

Do not look into the laser beam (laser radiation)

2

•  Do not point the laser beam at persons or animals

•  Do not place the tool in a position that may cause 

anyone to look into the laser beam intentionally or 
unintentionally

•  Do not use any magnifying optical tools (such as 

magnifying glasses, telescopes, or binoculars) to view 
the laser beam

•  Do not remove or damage the warning label on the tool
•  Do not operate the tool in the presence of flammable 

liquids, gases or dust

•  Do not operate the tool with children around
•  This tool should not be used by people under the age of 

16 years

•  Do not use the tool for any purpose other than those 

mentioned in this instruction manual

USE

•  Mounting of batteries 

4

!  ensure that the tool is switched off

-  use exclusively alkaline-manganese or rechargeable 

batteries

-  turn tool upside down
-  remove cover Q
-  insert 4 x 1,5V battery (pay attention to correct 

polarisation)

-  mount cover Q
-  when battery level is low, symbol 

5

 will appear in 

display

-  when symbol 

5

 appears in the display for the first 

time, then at least 100 measurements are still 
possible

-  replace the batteries when symbol 

5

 starts flashing 

(measuring no longer possible)

-  always replace the complete set of batteries
-  always remove the batteries from the tool, if the tool 

will not be used for a long period

•  On/off

-  switch on the tool by either pressing “on/off” or “GO” 

(the laser beam is not switched on yet)

-  switch off the tool by pressing “on/off”
-  the tool automatically switches off after 5 minutes of 

inactivity

•  Metre/feet conversion

-  measurements are in metres/centimetres by default
-  press button E 

3

 for converting metres/centimetres 

into feet/inches

•  Operating the tool 

6

-  switch on the tool (symbol 

7

 appears in display 

indicating that the tool is already in the length 
measurement mode)

-  select other measurement mode (surface/volume), if 

desired

-  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

!  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 

measured values in reverse order (m³ - m²)

•  Instructions for proper measurement

!  do not move the tool during measuring

 (except in 

continuous measurement mode)

-  do not cover reception lens A 

3

 and laser beam 

opening B 

3

 when measuring

-  in unfavorable conditions (e.g. when measuring 

outdoors at intense sunlight) use laser enhancing 
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

)

-  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 
bottom line of display

-  press “GO” again for starting a completely new 

surface measurement

•  Volume measurement

-  press button H 

3

 (symbol 

0

 will appear in display)

-  aim the tool towards the first target surface (

length

)

-  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 
bottom line of display

-  aim the tool towards the third target surface (

height

)

-  press “GO” again; measured height appears on top 

line of display while calculated volume appears on 
bottom line of display

-  press “GO” again for starting a completely new 

volume measurement

•  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 

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
