GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Working safely with the measuring tool is pos-
sible only when the operating and safety infor-
mation are read completely and the instructions
contained therein are strictly followed. Never
make warning labels on the measuring tool un-
recognizable. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
CAUTION: The use of other operating or
adjusting equipment or the application of
other processing methods than those men-
tioned here, can lead to dangerous radiation
exposure.
Do not direct the laser beam at persons
or animals and do not stare into the la-
ser beam yourself. This measuring tool
produces laser class 2 laser radiation according
to IEC 60825-1. This can lead to persons being
blinded.
• Do not use the laser viewing glasses as safety
goggles. The laser viewing glasses are used for
improved visualization of the laser beam, but
they do not protect against laser radiation.
• Do not use the laser viewing glasses as sun
glasses or in traffic. The laser viewing glasses
do not afford complete UV protection and re-
duce color perception.
• Have the measuring tool repaired only
through qualified specialists using original
spare parts. This ensures that the safety of the
measuring tool is maintained.
• Do not allow children to use the laser measur-
ing tool with- out supervision. They could unin-
tentionally blind other persons or themselves.
• Do not operate the measuring tool in explo-
sive environments, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dusts. Sparks can
be created in the measuring tool which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
+ Keep the measuring tool away from cardiac
pacemakers. The magnets generate a field that
can impair the function of cardiac pacemakers.
+ Keep the measuring tool away from mag-
netic data medium and magnetically-sensitive
equipment. The effect of the magnets can lead
to irreversible data loss.
