5 Safety instructions

In addition to the information relevant to safety given
in each of the sections of these operating instructions,
the following points must be strictly observed at all
times.
5.1 General safety rules
a) Check the accuracy of the tool before using it to
take measurements.
b) The tool and its ancillary equipment may present
hazards when used incorrectly by untrained per-
sonnel or when used not as directed.
c) To avoid the risk of injury, use only genuine Hilti
accessories and additional equipment.
d) Modification of the tool is not permissible.
e) Observe the information printed in the operat-
ing instructions concerning operation, care and
maintenance.
f)
Do not render safety devices ineffective and do
not remove information and warning notices.
g) Keep laser tools out of reach of children.
h) Take the influences of the surrounding area into
account. Do not expose the tool to rain or snow
and do not use it in damp or wet conditions. Do
not use the tool where there is a risk of fire or
explosion.
i)
Check the condition of the tool before use. If the
tool is found to be damaged, have it repaired at a
Hilti service center.
j)
The user must check the accuracy of the tool
after it has been dropped or subjected to other
mechanical stresses.
k) When the tool is brought into a warm environment
from very cold conditions, or vice-versa, allow it
to become acclimatized before use.
l)
If mounting on an adapter, check that the tool is
screwed on securely.
m) Keep the laser exit aperture clean to avoid meas-
urement errors.
n) Although the tool is designed for the tough condi-
tions of jobsite use, as with other optical and elec-
tronic instruments (e.g. binoculars, spectacles,
cameras) it should be treated with care.

o) Although the tool is protected to prevent entry
of dampness, it should be wiped dry each time
before being put away after use.
p) Check the accuracy of the measurements several
times during use of the tool.
5.2 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) Measurements taken through panes of glass or other
objects may be inaccurate.
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.
If several laser tools are used in the same working
f)
area, care must be taken to avoid confusing the
beams.
g) Magnetic fields may affect the accuracy of the tool. It
must thus be kept away from magnetic objects. The
tool is not affected by the Hilti universal adapter.
h) Do not use the tool in the proximity of medical instru-
ments.
5.3 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).
