If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, take it out of operation and protect
it from any accidental use. DO NOT attempt to repair the product yourself. Safe operation
can no longer be guaranteed if the product:
– is visibly damaged,
– is no longer working properly,
– has been stored for extended periods in poor ambient conditions or
– has been subjected to any serious transport-related stresses.
6.5 (Rechargeable) batteries
Correct polarity must be observed while inserting the (rechargeable) batteries.
The (rechargeable) batteries should be removed from the device if it is not used for a long
period of time to avoid damage through leaking. Leaking or damaged (rechargeable) bat-
teries might cause acid burns when in contact with skin, therefore use suitable protective
gloves to handle corrupted (rechargeable) batteries.
(Rechargeable) batteries must be kept out of reach of children. Do not leave (rechargeable)
batteries lying around, as there is risk, that children or pets swallow them.
All (rechargeable) batteries should be replaced at the same time. Mixing old and new (re-
chargeable) batteries in the device can lead to (rechargeable) battery leakage and device
damage.
(Rechargeable) batteries must not be dismantled, short-circuited or thrown into fire. Never
recharge nonrechargeable batteries. There is a risk of explosion!
6.6 Laser
When operating the laser equipment, always make sure that the laser beam is directed so
that no one is in the projection area and that unintentionally reflected beams (e.g., from
reflective objects) cannot be directed into areas where people are present.
Laser radiation can be dangerous, if the laser beam or its reflection enters unprotected
eyes. Therefore, before using the laser equipment, familiarise yourself with the statutory
regulations and instructions for operating such a laser device.
Never look into the laser beam and never point it at people or animals. Laser radiation can
seriously damage your eyes.
If laser radiation enters your eyes, close your eyes immediately and move your head away
from the beam.
If your eyes have been irritated by laser radiation, do not continue to carry out tasks with
safety implications, such as working with machines, working from great heights or close to
high voltage. Also, do not operate any vehicles until the irritation has completely subsided.
Do not point the laser beam at mirrors or other reflective surfaces. The uncontrolled, re
-
flected beam may strike people or animals.
Never open the device. Setting or maintenance tasks must only be executed by a trained
specialist familiar with potential hazards. Improperly executed adjustments might result in
dangerous laser radiation.
The product is equipped with a class 2 laser. Laser signs in different languages are in-
cluded in the package. If the sign on the laser is not written in the language of your country,
please affix the appropriate sign onto the laser.
Caution: if operation settings or procedures other than those described in these instructions
are used, it could lead to exposure to dangerous radiation.
