Safety Instructions
All instructions must be read and observed
in order for the measuring tool to function
safely. The safeguards integrated into the
measuring tool may be compromised if the
measuring tool is not used in accordance with these in-
structions. Never make warning signs on the measuring
tool unrecognisable. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR
FUTURE REFERENCE AND INCLUDE THEM WITH THE
MEASURING TOOL WHEN TRANSFERRING IT TO A THIRD
PARTY.
Warning! If operating or adjustment devices other
u
than those specified here are used or other proced-
ures are carried out, this can lead to dangerous expos-
ure to radiation.
The measuring tool is delivered with a laser warning
u
sign (marked in the illustration of the measuring tool
on the graphics page).
If the text of the laser warning label is not in your na-
u
tional language, stick the provided warning label in
your national language over it before operating for the
first time.
Do not direct the laser beam at persons or
animals and do not stare into the direct or
reflected laser beam yourself. You could
blind somebody, cause accidents or damage
your eyes.
If laser radiation hits your eye, you must close your
u
eyes and immediately turn your head away from the
beam.
Do not make any modifications to the laser equip-
u
ment.
Do not use the laser goggles (accessory) as protective
u
goggles. The laser goggles make the laser beam easier to
see; they do not protect you against laser radiation.
Do not use the laser goggles (accessory) as
u
sunglasses or while driving. The laser goggles do not
provide full UV protection and impair your ability to see
colours.
Have the measuring tool serviced only by a qualified
u
specialist using only original replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the measuring tool is main-
tained.
Do not let children use the laser measuring tool unsu-
u
pervised. They could unintentionally blind themselves or
other persons.
Do not use the measuring tool in explosive atmo-
u
spheres which contain flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Sparks may be produced inside the measuring tool,
which can ignite dust or fumes.
Do not open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuit-
u
ing.

In case of damage and improper use of the battery, va-
u
pours may be emitted. The battery can set alight or ex-
plode. Ensure the area is well ventilated and seek medical
attention should you experience any adverse effects. The
vapours may irritate the respiratory system.
If used incorrectly or if the battery is damaged, flam-
u
mable liquid may be ejected from the battery. Contact
with this liquid should be avoided. If contact accident-
ally occurs, rinse off with water. If the liquid comes
into contact with your eyes, seek additional medical
attention. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause ir-
ritation or burns.
The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such
u
as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally.
An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery to
burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
When the battery is not in use, keep it away from pa-
u
per clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small
metal objects that could make a connection from one
terminal to another. A short circuit between the battery
terminals may cause burns or a fire.
Only use the battery with products from the manufac-
u
turer. This is the only way in which you can protect the
battery against dangerous overload.
Only charge the batteries using chargers recommen-
u
ded by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery may pose a fire risk when used with a
different battery.
Protect the battery against heat, e.g. against
continuous intense sunlight, fire, dirt, water
and moisture. There is a risk of explosion and
short-circuiting.
Remove the rechargeable battery/non-rechargeable
u
batteries from the measuring tool before carrying out
work on the measuring tool (e.g. assembly, mainten-
ance, etc.). The battery/batteries should also be re-
moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury
from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
Caution! When using the measuring tool with
u
Bluetooth®, a fault may occur in other devices and sys-
tems, aeroplanes and medical devices (e.g. pace-
makers, hearing aids). Also, damage to people and an-
imals in the immediate vicinity cannot be completely
excluded. Do not use the measuring tool with
Bluetooth® in the vicinity of medical devices, petrol
stations, chemical plants, areas with a potentially ex-
plosive atmosphere and in blasting areas. Do not use
the measuring tool with Bluetooth® on aeroplanes.
Avoid using the product near your body for extended
periods.
The Bluetooth® word mark and logos are registered trade-
marks owned by Bluetooth SIG, Inc. and any use of such
marks by Robert Bosch Power Tools GmbH is under li-
cense.

around the air humidity, ambient temperature and in-
