insulated with elements containing metallic fibres or on slab walls

and surfaces with thick plastering.

2. It is important to check the location of the stud again through,

3. The object detected inside the wall can also possibly be an electrical

wire, a pipe or something else. For this reason, you should use

extreme caution when drilling, sawing or hammering nails since you

could hit a pipe or electrical wire. For safety’s sake, take other

readings in the »metal« and »alternating current« modes.

4. Keep your hand away from the device when it is in operation, in

order to prevent interference and inaccurate readings.
