Operation

Initial Operation

 Do not leave the switched-on measuring tool unattended and switch the mea-
suring tool off after use. Other persons could be blinded by the laser beam.
 Protect the measuring tool against moisture and direct sun light.
 Do not subject the measuring tool to extreme temperatures or variations in tem-
perature. As an example, do not leave it in vehicles for a long time. In case of large
variations in temperature, allow the measuring tool to adjust to the ambient temper-
ature before putting it into operation. In case of extreme temperatures or variations
in temperature, the accuracy of the measuring tool can be impaired.
 Avoid heavy impact to or falling down of the measuring tool. After severe exte-
