Where to find a manual for stanley 077445 stud sensor?

Most stud finders have a sensitivity adjustment that should be carefully adjusted per instruction manual before use.
Failure to do this results in erroneous indications.

If you have adjusted exactly per the instructions with the same result the unit is probably faulty.

Try using a magnet instead. Move the magnet back and forth against the wall, slowly... until it sticks to one of the ferrous screws hidden in the sheetrock. These hidden screws are holding the wall board/sheetrock onto a stud.
Magnets! Free stud finder! and no batteries to replace!

Here's is a link to the manual for download - direct from Stanley.
Good luck!

Hi Gene,

• Place the unit flat against the wall.
• Press and hold the button.
• The LED will come on for a second or two then go out.
• Slowly move the unit laterally until the LEDs come on again.
• When they top out, that is the beginning of the stud.
• When they start to go back down, that is the end of the stud.

That's about it..

Best regards
Mike
