Milwaukee M12 SUB-SCANNER Manuel De L'utilisateur page 3

STUD Mode
In Stud mode, the Sub-Scanner will detect wood or
metal studs and joists behind wall board, wooden
panels, plaster or other non-metallic wall materials.
The Sub-Scanner can not reliably detect studs
behind material of varying densities. Materials
such as carpet, wire metal mesh backing, damp
walls, and stucco may affect readings. Alternating
surfaces, such as thick grout lines or extremely
heavy plaster on drywall, may be detected or show
as metal or studs.
1.Turn on the Sub-Scanner.
2.Select Stud mode.

NOTE: If electric

with the backside of
the wallboard, they
may be identifi ed as
a stud.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury,
electric shock, shut off appropriate circuit
breakers before starting work. The symbol may
not be displayed due to installation condition
of electrical circuit or equipment. Never touch
the circuit under test to avoid possible danger
even if the symbol is not displayed.
Check the functionality of the AC voltage
detector on a well-known power supply prior
to measurement.
AC voltage detection is affected by external
voltage, and how the meter is held or placed.
AC VOLTAGE
The Sub-Scanner detects the presence of AC volt-
age in STUD mode by sensing the electromagnetic
fi eld generated by these live wires. The "V" symbol
lights up when a wall area is "hot".
NOTE: To detect AC voltage, the live wires must be
within 1.6" (40 mm) of the backside of the wallboard
and run perpendicular to the direction of the scan.
Wires run through metal conduit will be blocked
because the metal conduit dramatically dampens
the electromagnetic fi eld generated by the wires
and prevents the tool from sensing live voltage.
Use the METAL mode to scan for conduit.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury,
always remove the batteries from the tool
before performing any maintenance. Never
disassemble the tool. Contact a MILWAUKEE
service facility for ALL repairs.
Maintaining Tool
Keep your tool in good repair by adopting a regular
maintenance program. If the tool does not start
or operate at full power with fully charged batter-
ies, clean the contacts on the battery. If the tool
still does not work properly, return the tool to a
MILWAUKEE service facility for repairs.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of per-
sonal injury and damage, never immerse your
tool, battery pack or charger in liquid or allow
a liquid to fl ow inside them.
Cleaning
Clean dust and debris from tool vents. Keep tool
handles clean, dry and free of oil or grease. Use
only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool
since certain cleaning agents and solvents are
harmful to plastics and other insulated parts. Some
of these include gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thin-
ner, paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents,
ammonia and household detergents containing
ammonia. Never use fl ammable or combustible
solvents around tools.
Repairs
For repairs, return the tool to the nearest service center
listed on the back cover of this operator's manual.
