[. . . ] PD 38 laser range meter Contents It is essential that the operating instructions are read before the range meter is used the first time. Always keep these operating instructions together with the range meter. Ensure that the operating instructions are with the range meter when it is given to other persons. Contents 1. 3 Location of identification data on the range meter . [. . . ] On doing so, the last valid distance measurement will be shown in the result line in the display. -NOTEContinuous measurement is possible in all situations where distances can be measured. This applies also to functions, such as areas and volumes. 5. 489 m If further measurements are taken, up to three previously determined distances are shown in the intermediate result lines, i. e. a total of the last four measured distances are shown. 5. 489 12. 349 24. 634 m m m 27. 317 m 7. 4. 3 Measuring mode Two different distance measuring modes are available. These are single distance measurement and continuous distance measurement. The continuous measurement mode is used for setting out given distances or offsets and is also used where distance measurements are more difficult, e. g. to corners, edges, niches, etc. 18 7. Operation 7. 4. 4 Measuring from corners The spike is used when measuring diagonally across rooms or from inaccessible corners. This automatically sets the measuring reference to the end of the spike. The range meter takes the extended reference point into account and corrects the measured distances accordingly. 7. 4. 5 Measuring with the aid of target objects When taking measurements to outside corners, e. g. on buildings, perimeter fences, etc. , boards, bricks or other suitable objects can be used as the target. Use of the PDA 50 target plate is recommended for long distances and in unfavourable light conditions, e. g. Position the range meter with the spike at the desired starting point for the measurement and aim towards the target. 3. The measured distance appears in the display. 7. 4. 6 Measuring in bright conditions The PD 38 has a built-in optical target sight. When measuring to very bright surfaces, the laser spot is often not visible. Thanks to the laser spot superimposed in the optical sight, you can always clearly and reliably aim at the target. We recommend use of the PDA 50 target plate for long distances and bright light conditions. 19 7. Operation 7. 4. 7 Taking measurements to rough surfaces When measuring to rough surfaces, e. g. coarse render, stucco, etc, an average distance value is measured with the centre of laser spot weighted higher than the edges of the laser spot. 7. 4. 10 Taking measurements to transparent surfaces It is not possible to measure distances to transparent materials, e. g. This is because light penetrates these materials and therefore measuring errors may occur. [. . . ] A prerequisite for recycling is proper separation of the materials. In many countries, Hilti has already made arrangements for old range meters (and other tools and machines) to be taken back for recycling. Ask Hilti customer service or your local Hilti representative for further information. Dispose of batteries in accordance with national regulations Only for EU countries Disposal of electric tools together with household waste is not permissible! [. . . ]
