Edge-Finding Stud Finder
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
ZIRCON ® STUD FINDERS WORK BY SENSING DENSITY CHANGES BEHIND THE WALL. OTHER OBJECTS CAN BE DETECTED ESPECIALLY
IF THEY ARE VERY CLOSE TO THE WALL. DO NOT ASSUME EVERYTHING DETECTED IS A STUD.
- Always use a new 9V alkaline battery with an extended expiration date at least 3 years beyond the current date.
- Do not rely exclusively on the tool to locate items behind a surface. Use other information to help locate such items before
penetrating the surface, including construction plans, visible points of entry of pipes and wiring into walls such as in a basement,
and standard stud-spacing practices.
- Always scan for studs at several different heights on the wall and mark the location of every target indicated by the stud finder.
This is called "mapping the wall." Pipes and other objects will likely not give consistent readings from floor to ceiling, like a stud will.
- Readings should always be consistent and repeatable.
- Zircon stud finders are recommended for interior use only.
- Studs normally run from floor to ceiling, except above and below windows, and above doors.
- Other objects commonly contained in walls, floors, or ceilings are water pipes, gas lines, firestops, and electrical wiring.
- Sensing depth and accuracy can vary depending on scanning environment conditions such as mineral content, moisture, texture and
consistency of the wall materials.
- Always turn off power when working near electrical wires.
- Depending on the proximity of electrical wiring or pipes to the wall surface, the tool may detect them in the same manner as studs.
Caution should always be used when nailing, cutting, or drilling in walls, floors, and ceilings that may contain these items.
- Studs and joists are normally spaced 40 or 60 cm apart, are normally 38 mm wide, and may be separated by firestops. Anything
closer together, or of a different width, may not be a stud or joist.

POWER UP
To activate tool, press and hold Power Button. If button
is not held, unit shuts off.
FIND A STUD
The tool is designed to locate the edges of wood and metal studs
up to 19 mm behind the scanned surface.
The accuracy of the position of a stud
found is typically within 3 mm.
For best results, hold the tool as
shown ( Figure A ), and move slowly
when scanning.
Do not touch the surface during
calibration or scan.

WORKING WITH DIFFERENT MATERIALS
Wallpaper This tool functions normally on walls covered with
wallpaper or fabric, unless the materials are metallic foil, contain
metallic fibres, or are still wet after application. Wallpaper may
need to dry for several weeks after application.
Freshly painted walls Paint may take a week or longer to dry
after application.
Lath and plaster Due to irregularities in plaster thickness, this
tool is not recommended for use on lath and plaster.

Highly textured walls or acoustic ceilings When scanning
a ceiling or wall with an uneven surface, place thin cardboard on
the surface to be scanned.
This tool cannot scan for studs and joists through carpet
and padding.
Electrical wiring and pipes Depending on the proximity
of electrical wiring or pipes to the wall surface, the tool
may detect them in the same manner as studs.
Caution should always be used when nailing, cutting,
or drilling in walls, floors, and ceilings that may contain
these items.
Studs and joists are normally spaced 40 or 60 cm apart, and
are 38 mm wide. Anything closer together, or of a different width,
may not be a stud or joist.
NOTE: Sensing depth and accuracy can vary
depending on scanning environment conditions
such as mineral content, moisture, texture and
consistency of the wall materials.
This tool is not designed for use with:
• Ceramic tile, slate, granite, marble and other rock surfaces
• Carpeting and padding
• Wallpaper with metallic fibres
• Freshly painted walls that are still damp (may take one
week or longer to dry after application)
