3. LASER SAFETY INFORMATION
• Never intentionally point the laser beam at another person.The laser beam is
injurious to the eyes and skin. If an eye injury is caused by exposure to the laser
beam, seek immediate medical attention from a licensed ophthalmologist.
• Do not look directly into the laser beam. Doing so could cause permanent eye
damage.
• Do not stare at the laser beam. Doing so could cause permanent eye damage.
• Never look at the laser beam through a telescope, binoculars or other optical
instruments. Doing so could cause permanent eye damage.
• Sight 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.)
