10. Care and maintenance
10.1 Cleaning and drying
– Blow dust off the lens.
– Do not touch the lens with your fingers.
– Use only a clean, soft cloth for cleaning.
If necessary, slightly moisten the cloths
with pure alcohol or a little water.
- NOTE -
– Do not use any other liquids as these
might damage the plastic parts.
– Observe the temperature limits when
storing your equipment. This is particu-
larly important in winter or summer,
especially if the equipment is kept inside
a vehicle (storage temperatures: -30°C
to +70°C / -22°F to +158°F).
– Replace damaged parts.
10.2 Storage
– Remove the range meter from its case if
it has become wet. Clean the range
meter, carrying case and accessories.
Re-pack the equipment only when it is
completely dry.
– Check the accuracy of the equipment
before it is used after a long period of
storage or transportation.
– Remove the batteries if the range meter
is not going to be used for a consider-
able time. The range meter can be
damaged by leaking batteries.
10.3 Transportation
Use either the original Hilti cardboard box
the tool was delivered in or packaging of
equivalent quality for transporting or ship-
ping your equipment.
- NOTE -
Always remove the batteries before
shipment.

11. Disposal
- CAUTION -
Improper disposal of the equipment may
have serious consequences:
Burning plastic parts / components
generates toxic fumes which may present
a health hazard.
Batteries might explode if damaged or
exposed to very high temperatures. This
could cause poisoning, burns, acid burns
or environmental pollution. Careless
disposal might permit unauthorized and
improper use of the equipment, possibly
leading to serious personal injury, injury
to third parties and pollution of the
environment.
Most of the materials from which Hilti
range meters are manufactured can be
recycled. A prerequisite for recycling is
proper separation of the materials. In
many countries, Hilti has already made
arrangements for old range meters (and
other tools and machines) to be taken
back for recycling. Ask the Hilti customer
service or your local Hilti representative
for further information.
Dispose of batteries in
accordance with national
regulations
Only for EU countries
Disposal of electric tools
together with household waste
is not permissible!
In observance of Euro pean Directive
2002/96/EC on waste electrical and electron-
ic equipment and its implementation in
accordance with national law, electric tools
that have reached the end of their life must
be collected separately and returned to an
environmentally compatible recycling facility.
