3. LASER SAFETY INFORMATION
• If an eye injury is caused by exposure to the laser beam, seek immediate
medical attention from a licensed ophthalmologist.
• Never look at the laser beam through a telescope, binoculars or other optical
instruments. Doing so could cause permanent eye damage.
• Sight the targets so that laser beam does not stray from them.
Caution
• Perform checks at start of work and periodic checks and adjustments with the
laser beam emitted under normal conditions.
• When the instrument is not being used, turn off the power.
• When disposing of the instrument, destroy the battery connector so that the
laser beam cannot be emitted.
• Operate the instrument with due caution to avoid injuries that may be caused
by the laser beam unintentionally striking a person in the eye. Avoid setting the
instrument at heights at which the path of the laser beam may strike pedestrians
or drivers at head height.
• Never point the laser beam at mirrors, windows or surfaces that are highly
reflective. The reflected laser beam could cause serious injury.
• When using the Laser-pointer function, be sure to turn OFF the output laser
after distance measurement is completed. Even if distance measurement is
canceled, the Laser-pointer function is still operating and the laser beam
continues to be emitted. (After turning ON the Laser-pointer, the laser beam is
emitted for 5 minutes, and then automatically switches OFF. But in the Status
screen and when target symbol (ex.
laser beam is not automatically turned off. )
