d) When a tripod or wall mount is used, check that
the tool is correctly and permanently mounted
and that the tripod is standing securely on solid
ground.
e) Maintain the machine carefully. Check for mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may affect
the machine’s operation. If damaged, have the
machine repaired before use. Poor maintenance is
the cause of many accidents.
f) Although the tool is protected to prevent entry
of dampness, it should be wiped dry each time
before being put away in its transport container.
g) Check the tool for damage before use. If the tool
is found to be damaged, have it repaired at a Hilti
service center.
h) Operating and storage temperatures must be ob-
served.
i) Check the accuracy of the tool after it has
been dropped or subjected to other mechanical
stresses.
j) When the tool is brought into a warm environment
from very cold conditions, or vice-versa, allow it
to become acclimatized before use.
k) Keep the laser exit aperture clean to avoid meas-
urement errors.
l) 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.
m) As a precaution, check the previous settings or
any adjustments you may have made.
n) View the tool at an angle when setting it up with
the aid of the circular bubble level.
o) Secure the battery compartment cover carefully
in order to ensure that the battery cannot fall
out and that no contact can occur which would
result in the tool being switched off inadvertently
possibly resulting in loss of data.
4.8 Transport
Observe the special guidelines applicable to the trans-
port, storage and use of Li-ion batteries.
The batteries must be insulated or removed from the
tool before the tool is shipped or sent by mail. Leaking
batteries may damage the tool.
To avoid pollution of the environment, the tool and the
batteries must be disposed of in accordance with the
currently applicable national regulations.
Consult the manufacturer if you are unsure of how to
proceed.
5 First steps

that the batteries are changed one after the other.
