or animal
• Laser's potential to cause damage is retained for hundreds
of feet
• Refer to the maintenance section of this manual in the event
of a laser failure
Safe Practices
This instrument is designed for professionals who know the hazards
associated with their trade. While this instrument offers no foreseeable
dangers beyond its laser sight, the equipment you are servicing, as well
as the environment you're working in, can be hazardous. These are a
few common safety practices for those working around temperature
critical environments:
• Follow the manufacturer's maintenance procedures when
servicing equipment
• Verify that an infrared thermometer is suitable for the type of
material you are measuring
• Before using this instrument to determine if an area is safe to
touch or enter, verify your readings are reasonably accurate by
comparison with known measurements
• Properly maintain your INF151 and calibrate it regularly
