General Safety
Please check your package contains the following items:
This feature allows you to measure distances from the back of the tool to a target point. Point-N-Measure Digital Tape W5746 User Manual
Q: Can I use the W5746 outdoors in sunlight? A: Yes, but the laser dot may be hard to see beyond 30 feet. Use the continuous mode or attach a white target card.
Q: Is it waterproof? A: No—it is IP54 rated for dust and splashes (light rain). Do not drop in water.
Q: Does it replace a traditional tape measure? A: For straight-line distances up to 50 ft, yes. For curved surfaces or recessed depths (like window jambs), keep a physical tape handy. Volume Measurement : Follow steps for "Area" then
Q: What is the accuracy spec? A: ± 1/8 inch (± 3 mm) from 2 inches to 50 feet under ideal indoor lighting and matte target conditions.
Q: Why does the measurement change when I move slightly? A: The laser measures absolute straight-line distance. Any tilt or movement changes the hypotenuse, affecting the reading. Always aim perpendicular to the target.
