LD050P Laser Distance Measure Rangefinder
Product Information: Makita LD050P
The Makita LD050P is a laser distance meter that can accurately
measure distances, areas, volumes, and Pythagoras measurements. It
has a clear and easy-to-read display that shows measurements in
real-time and has symbols for different functions. The device
requires batteries to operate, and it is important to use the
correct type of batteries for reliable use.
Product Usage Instructions
Instrument Set-up
Before using the Makita LD050P for the first time, it is
important to read the safety instructions and user manual
carefully. The person responsible for the product must ensure that
all users understand these directions and adhere to them.
Display
The Makita LD050P has a display with symbols that have specific
meanings. The “WARNING” symbol indicates a potentially hazardous
situation or unintended use that could result in death or serious
injury. The “CAUTION” symbol indicates a potentially hazardous
situation or unintended use that could result in minor injury
and/or material, financial, or environmental damage. The “i” symbol
indicates important paragraphs that must be adhered to in practice
as they enable the product to be used in a technically correct and
efficient manner.
Insert batteries
To ensure reliable use, do not use zinc-carbon batteries. Change
batteries when the battery symbol is flashing. To insert
batteries:
- Slide the battery cover open on the back of the device.
- Insert two AAA alkaline batteries into the battery compartment,
ensuring correct polarity is observed. - Slide the battery cover back into place until it clicks into
position.
Operations
The Makita LD050P has several functions that can be used:
- Switching ON/OFF: Press and hold the
“On/Measure” button to turn on the device. Press and hold the
“Clear/Off” button to turn off the device. - Clear: Press the “Clear/Off” button to clear
the last measurement or to turn off the device. - Message Codes: The device has several message
codes that indicate specific situations. Refer to the user manual
for more information. - Adjusting measuring reference: Press the
“Measuring reference/Unit” button to adjust the measuring
reference. - Distance unit setting: Press and hold the
“Measuring reference/Unit” button to select the desired distance
unit.
Measuring Functions
The Makita LD050P can perform several types of measurements:
- Distance: Point the device at the target and
press the “On/Measure” button to take a distance measurement. - Area: Take two distance measurements and press
the “Area/Volume” button to calculate the area. - Volume: Take three distance measurements and
press the “Area/Volume” button to calculate the volume. - Pythagoras: Take two distance measurements and
press the “Pythagoras” button to calculate the Pythagoras
measurement.
Care
To ensure the Makita LD050P operates correctly and safely, it is
important to take care of it. Keep it clean and dry, and do not use
it in extreme temperatures or environments. Store it in a safe and
dry place when not in use.
Safety Instructions
When using the Makita LD050P, it is important to adhere to the
safety instructions provided in the user manual. This includes
understanding areas of responsibility, permitted and prohibited
uses, hazards in use, limits of use, disposal, electromagnetic
compatibility, FCC statement (applicable in the US), laser
classification, and labelling. Refer to the user manual for more
information.
