Stake out function

Two different distances (a and b) can be entered into
the instrument and can then be used to mark off
defined measured lengths, e.g. in the construction of
wooden frames.

Entering stake out distances:

Press this button three times and the stake out

function symbol appears in the display

The value (a) and the corresponding intermediate line
flash.

By using

and

, you can adjust the values

(first a and then b) to suit the desired stake out
distances. Holding the buttons down increases the
rate of change of the values.

Once the desired value (a) has been reached it can be
confirmed with the

button.

The value (b) and the intermediate line flashes (the

defined value (a) is automatically adopted). Value (b)
can be entered using

and

The defined value (b) is confirmed with the

button.

Pressing the

button starts the laser measure-

ment. The display shows required stake out distance
in the summary line between the stake out point
(first a and then b) and the instrument (rear refer-
ence).

If the DISTO™ is then moved slowly along the stake
out line the displayed distance decreases. The instru-
ment starts to beep at a distance of 0.1m from the
next stake out point.

The arrows in the display

indicate in which direc-

tion the DISTO™ needs to be moved in order to
achieve the defined distance (either a or b). As soon
as the stake out point is reached the beep changes
and the intermediate line starts to flash.

The function can be stopped at any time by pressing
the

button.
