2.0 Safety
Measures
The respective accident prevention regulations established by the professio-
nal associations regarding Laser Radiation have to be strictly met for all tasks
Measurements in dangerous proximity of electrical installations are only to be
executed when instructed by a responsible electrical specialist, and never
alone.
Never try to disassemble battery cells! The battery contains highly alkaline el-
ectrolyte. Danger of causticization! If electrolyte gets in contact with skin or
clothing, these parts are to be rinsed immediately with water. If electrolyte gets
in contact with the eyes, immediately flush by using pure water and consult a
doctor.
Never try to make contact between both battery cell poles, for example by using
a wire connection. The resulting short-circuit current is very high and causes
extreme heat. Danger of fire and explosion !
Never throw battery cells into a fire as this could cause an explosion.
Never expose batteries or accumulators to humidity.
When replacing or changing the battery, make certain of correct polarity.
Only use batteries as described in the technical data section!
Avoid any heating up of the instrument by direct sunlight to ensure perfect
functioning and long instrument life.
