How to Use a Black & Decker Bullseye

Use the Bullseye properly to ensure your walls are level and decorations are sturdy.

The Black & Decker Bullseye is an auto-leveling tool with stud detection and an LCD display. The auto-leveling feature on the Bullseye is initiated with the touch of a button and uses a laser. The laser can extend up to 20 feet in both directions of the Bullseye, depending on light and surrounding objects. The auto-leveling feature within the Bullseye will automatically readjust any time the unit is moved. You can use the auto-leveling feature while also using the stud detector, which can detect wood and metal studs. Use your Black & Decker Bullseye properly to ensure level and sturdy projects.

Things You'll Need

• Pencil

Instructions

1. Place the Bullseye flat against the wall; switch the laser button to "On." Move the unit to the spot that needs to be leveled. The auto-leveling, horizontal red laser line will appear on the wall for leveling. The laser line will extend to the left and to the right. The laser will create a level line and adjust automatically if the unit is moved.

2. Place the Black & Decker Bullseye flat against the wall. Hold the unit so that it is vertical.

3. Press and hold the detector "on/off" button. The LCD screen will now come on and the detector will initialize. Once finished, the LCD screen will read "Ready" and the unit will beep once. The Bullseye is now calibrated and ready to detect studs.

4. Slide the Bullseye slowly across the surface, making sure the unit stays against the wall at all times. Look at the LCD screen. When the message "Stud Found" appears, continue to slide the unit slowly until "Edge" appears on the screen and the Bullseye beeps. Place your pencil in the arrow-shaped notch in the middle of the Bullseye unit located on the bottom of the unit. Make a small mark visible on the wall to identify the middle of the stud.

5. Slide the Bullseye past the mark until the display messages disappear. Continue this process to find more studs within the wall.
