Using the Milwaukee 2278 - 20NST Infrared Temperature Gun is easy. First, make sure it's compatible with the M12 system and note that you'll need to provide your own M12 battery. Point the gun at the surface you want to measure. With its 12:1 distance - to - spot ratio, you can measure a 1 - foot spot from 12 feet away. You can set up high and low temperature alerts according to your needs for quicker scanning. The gun has different modes like Hold, Max, Min, Avg, and Diff. Simply press the appropriate buttons to switch between them. When it comes to maintenance, keep the gun clean. Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture. Also, be careful not to drop it, although it can withstand 6 - foot drops, repeated drops may still affect its performance. Read the manual thoroughly for more detailed information and safety precautions.
