Assembly
Inserting/Replacing the
Battery (see figure B)
Use only alkali-manganese or recharge-
able batteries.
To open the battery lid 7, slide the lid in
the direction of the arrow tip and fold it
up. Insert the batteries. Pay attention
that the polarity is correct, according to
the representation on the inside of the
battery lid.
After inserting the batteries and clos-
ing the battery lid 7, the measuring tool
is automatically switched on. For the
checking of the display, all indicator
elements appear for approx. 20 sec-
onds. Afterwards, the current angle is
displayed.
When the battery indicator b appears
in the display for the first time, meas-
urements are still possible for approx.
1 – 2 hours.
When the battery indicator b blinks,
the batteries must be replaced. Meas-
urements are no longer possible.
Always replace all batteries at the
same time. Only use batteries from one
brand and with the identical capacity.
f Remove the batteries from the
measuring tool when not using
it for extended periods. When
storing for extended periods, the
batteries can corrode and dis-
charge themselves.

Attaching the Leg

Extension (see figure A)
Slide the leg extension 4 (accessory)
onto the fold-out leg 1 from the front
(shown in figure A on the fold-out page),
observing the arrow on the extension.
Extend the leg extension as far as nec-
essary, but not beyond the stop (maxi-
mum position shown in figure A).

Operation
Initial Operation
Note: Protect the measuring tool
against moisture and direct sun irradia-
tion.

Switching On and Off

Press the “ON/OFF” switch 9 to
switch the measuring tool on or off.
After inserting or replacing the batter-
ies, the measuring tool is automatically
switched on.
After approx. 5 minutes without button
actuation or angle change, the measur-
ing tool switches off automatically to
preserve battery life.

Operating Instructions
Note: Keep the supporting surfaces
and contact edges 14 of the measuring
tool clean. Protect the measuring tool
against impact and shock. Debris par-
ticles or deformation can lead to faulty
measurements.

Measuring Angles (see figure D)

Position the fold-out leg 1 and the base
leg 6 plane against the edges to be
measured. The displayed reading cor-
responds with the internal angle w
between the base leg and the fold-out
leg.
The reading is indicated on both dis-
plays (on the front and rear side of the
base leg). The reading is indicated until
the legs are moved in relation to each
other.

Retaining the Measured Value

(“HOLD”)
The current reading can be retained in
the display by pressing the “HOLD”
button 8.
When the Hold mode is activated,
“HOLD” c is indicated in the display
and the Hold mode is confirmed by the
blinking of both the hold indicator and
the reading c. The reading remains
unchanged (even when the legs are
moved in relation to each other) until
the “HOLD” button 8 is pressed again.

Projecting/Transferring Angles
(see figure D)
Position the measuring tool with the
fold-out leg or with the base leg against
the workpiece. Adjust the required
angle with the other leg and project the
angle onto the workpiece.
When directly projecting a measured
angle onto a workpiece, pay attention
that the fold-out leg and the base leg
are not moved in relation to each other
and that the “HOLD” mode is not
switched on.
Measuring with Leg Extension
(see figure G–J)
The leg extension 4 (accessory) ena-
bles the measuring of angles when the
contact surface is shorter than the fold-
out leg 1.
Attach the leg extension 4 (see “Attach-
ing the Leg Extension”). Position the
base leg 6 and the leg extension plane
against or on the edges to be meas-
ured.
The reading of the angle w between
base leg and fold-out leg is indicated in
the display. The required angle v
between base leg and leg extension is
calculated as follows:
v = 180° – w
Examples for measuring with leg exten-
sion are shown in figures G to J on the
fold-out page.

Maintenance and
Service
Maintenance and Cleaning
For safe and proper working, always
keep the measuring tool clean.
Do not immerse the measuring tool into
water or other fluids.
Wipe off debris using a moist and soft
cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents
or solvents.
When the measuring tool is exposed to
rain for an extended period, its function
may be impaired. However, after com-
pletely drying off, the measuring tool is
ready for operation. No calibration is
required.

If the measuring tool should fail despite

the care taken in manufacturing and
testing procedures, repair should be
carried out by an authorized after-sales
service centre for Bosch power tools.
In all correspondence and spare parts
orders, please always include the
