Handling

1. Spool the hairline 4 times around the rubber wheel,
2. Fix the line at the starting point and start to inspect the desired distance,
3. Read the distance directly from the counter. To start a new measurement, the counter can directly be reset.

Note:

The original hairline can be left in the forest as it decomposes quickly and is not dangerous for animals.
