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 instructions
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

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-
en
