cords or extension cords present a risk of electric
shock.
w) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
x) Do not expose the supply cord to heat, oil or sharp
edges.
y) Never operate the AC adapter when it is dirty or
wet. Dust (especially dust from conductive ma-
terials) or dampness adhering to the surface of
the AC adapter may, under unfavorable condi-
tions, lead to electric shock. Dirty or dusty tools
should thus be checked at a Hilti Service Center
at regular intervals, especially if used frequently
for working on conductive materials.
z) Avoid touching the contacts.
5.2.1 Battery tool use and care
a) Do not expose batteries to high temperatures or
fire. This presents a risk of explosion.
b) Do not disassemble, squash or incinerate batter-
ies and do not subject them to temperatures over
75°C. A risk of fire, explosion or injury through con-
tact with caustic substances may otherwise result.
c) Avoid ingress of moisture. Moisture in the interior
of the tool may cause a short circuit and chemical
reactions resulting in burns to the skin or fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may leak from the
battery. Avoid contact. If contact accidentally oc-
curs, flush with water. In the event of the liquid
coming into contact with the eyes, rinse the eyes
with plenty of water and consult a doctor. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
e) Do not use batteries other than those approved
for use with the applicable tool or appliance. Use
of other batteries or use of the battery for purposes
for which it is not intended presents a risk of fire and
explosion.
f) Observe the special guidelines applicable to the
transport, storage and use of Li-ion batteries.
g) When not in use, keep the battery and the charger
away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws
or other small metal objects that could cause a
short circuit at the battery terminals or the char-
ging contacts. A short circuit at the battery terminals
or charging contacts could result in personal injury
(burns) or fire.
h) Avoid short-circuiting the battery.Before inserting
the battery in the tool, check that the terminals of
the battery and the tool are free from foreign objects.
Short-circuiting the battery terminals presents a risk
of fire, explosion or contact with caustic substances.
i) Do not charge or continue to use damaged bat-
teries (e.g. batteries with cracks, broken parts,
bent or pushed-in and/or pulled-out contacts).
Use only the PUA 81 AC adapter, PUA 82 motor
j)
vehicle power adapter or other chargers recom-
mended by the manufacturer to power the tool or
charge the battery. Failure to observe these points
may result in damage to the tool. Use of a charger
with batteries other than the specific type(s) for which
it is designed presents a risk of fire.
5.3 Proper organization of the work area
a) Secure the area in which you are working and
take care to avoid directing the beam towards
other persons or towards yourself when setting
up the tool.
b) Avoid unfavorable body positions when working
from ladders. Make sure you work from a safe
stance and stay in balance at all times.
c) Readings taken in the vicinity of reflective objects or
surfaces, through panes of glass or similar materials
may produce incorrect results.
d) Ensure that the tool is set up on a steady, level
surface (not subject to vibration).
e) Use the tool only within its specified limits.
f) Make sure that your PR 30-HVS is responding only
to your PRA 30 and not to other PRA 30s that may
be in use on the jobsite.
g) When working in "charging during operation"
mode, attach the AC adapter in a secure posi-
tion, e.g. on a tripod.
h) Use of products for applications different from those
intended could result in hazardous situations. Use
the product and its accessories etc. in accord-
ance with these instructions and in the manner
intended for the particular type of product. Take
the working conditions and the work to be per-
formed into account.
i) Use of the telescopic staff in the vicinity of over-
head high voltage cables is not permissible.
5.3.1 Electromagnetic compatibility
Although the tool complies with the strict requirements
of the applicable directives, Hilti cannot entirely rule out
the possibility of the tool being subject to interference
caused by powerful electromagnetic radiation, leading
to incorrect operation. Check the accuracy of the tool
by taking measurements by other means when working
under such conditions or if you are unsure. Likewise, Hilti
cannot rule out the possibility of interference with other
devices (e.g. aircraft navigation equipment).
5.3.2 Laser classification for Laser Class 2 / Class
II appliances
Depending on the version purchased, the tool com-
plies with Laser Class 2 in accordance with IEC825-
1:2007/EN60825-1:2007 and Class II in accordance with
CFR 21 § 1040 (FDA). This tool may be used without
need for further protective measures. The eyelid clos-
ure reflex protects the eyes when a person looks into
the beam unintentionally for a brief moment. This eyelid
closure reflex, however, may be negatively affected by
medicines, alcohol or drugs. Nevertheless, as with the
en
