As a general rule: The gel pad (14) is suitable for smooth surfaces. The pin pad (7) is
suitable for coarse or rough surfaces and wallpaper on drywalls. The pin pad cannot be
attached to concrete (regardless of the surface).
Gel pad
(Ceramic) tiles
Smooth wooden surfaces
Natural stone, marble, concrete
Gloss-coated surfaces (depending on the
age and condition of the substrate)
To change the gel pad, turn the gel pad holder (13) anticlockwise and take the gel
pad (14) and holder off the measuring tool. Attach the pin pad (7) and turn it clockwise
as far as it will go. The same procedure should also be followed when switching from the
pin pad to the gel pad.
Attaching with the gel pad
Requirements:
The substrate must be dry and firm.
The gel pad is not guaranteed to stick to damp, particularly dusty, sharp-edged or highly
textured surfaces. If attached to unsuitable surfaces such as these, the measuring tool
can fall off and become damaged or damage the substrate.
If the gel pad becomes dirty or does not stick to smooth surfaces any more, it must be
cleaned or replaced (see "Cleaning the Gel Pad", page 24).
Before every use, select an inconspicuous area lower down on the desired surface to
check whether the gel pad will stick to this substrate, and that it can be safely removed
without damaging the substrate.
Always remove the measuring tool once you have finished taking a measurement, or if
the substrate is being worked on in some manner (e.g. drilling, screwdriving, or hammer-
ing).
Positioning the measuring tool on the substrate:
Turn the protective cap (15) of the gel pad anticlockwise and remove it. Remove the pro-
tective film from the gel pad before using it for the first time.
Gently press the measuring tool against the chosen surface until it is firmly affixed. Ap-
plying excessive pressure may damage the measuring tool.
