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 instructions. 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 than those specified here are used or other procedures are carried out, this can lead to dangerous exposure to radiation.

• The measuring tool is delivered with a laser warning 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 national language, stick the provided warning label in your national language over it before operating for the first time.

• If laser radiation hits your eye, you must close your eyes and immediately turn your head away from the beam.

• Do not make any modifications to the laser equipment.

• Do not use the laser goggles (accessory) as protective 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 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 specialist using only original replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the measuring tool is maintained.

• Do not let children use the laser measuring tool unsupervised. They could unintentionally blind themselves or other persons.

• Do not use the measuring tool in explosive atmospheres which contain flammable liquids, gases or dust. Sparks may be produced inside the measuring tool, which can ignite dust or fumes.

• The measuring tool is equipped with a wireless interface. Local operating restrictions, e.g. in aeroplanes or hospitals, must be observed.

• Caution! When using the measuring tool with Bluetooth®, a fault may occur in other devices and systems, aeroplanes and medical devices (e.g. pacemakers, hearing aids). Also, damage to people and animals 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 explosive 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.

• Do not use the measuring tool to photograph any people or animals, as this can involve the laser beam being continuously switched on. You could blind somebody or cause accidents or eye damage with the laser beam switched on.

• Do not use the measuring tool if the display glass is visibly damaged (e.g. cracks in the surface, etc.). This poses a risk of injury.

• Keep the measuring tool and the magnetic accessories away from magnetic data storage media and magnetically sensitive devices. The effect of the magnets inside the measuring tool and accessories can lead to irreversible data loss.
