5. Safety information
– When using the circular bubble level
(bull's eye) for alignment, only look at
the range meter from the side.
5.4 Proper organization of workplace
– Secure the area in which you are
measuring. When setting up the range
meter, take care to avoid directing the
beam towards yourself or other people.
– Avoid unfavourable body position when
working on ladders or scaffolding. Make
sure you have a stable stance and avoid
danger of overbalancing at all times.
– Measurements taken through panes of
glass or other objects may be inaccurate.
– Use the range meter only while observing
the specified operating conditions, i.e.
not directed towards a mirror, bright
chromium steel, polished stone, etc.
– Observe the accident prevention regula-
tions in force in the country you are
working.
5.4.1 Electromagnetic compatibility
Although the range meter complies with
the strict requirements of the relevant
guidelines, Hilti cannot entirely rule out
the following possibilities:
– The range meter might cause
interference to other equipment,
e.g. aircraft navigational equipment.
– The range meter might be subject to
interference caused by powerful radia-
tion, which can then lead to incorrect
operation. Check the readings for
plausibility when measuring in these
conditions or if you are unsure of the
results.
5.4.2 Laser classification
The range meter conforms to laser class 2
based on the IEC60825-1: 1993 + A1:
1997+ A2: 2001/ DIN EN60825-1: 2003;
standard and class II based on CFR 21 §
1040 (FDA). These range meters may be
used without need for further protective
measures. The eyelid closure reflex pro tects
the eyes if a person looks into the beam
unintentionally for a brief moment. The
eyelid closure reflex can, however, be nega-
tively influenced by medication, alcohol or
drugs. Nevertheless, as with the sun, a per-
son should not look directly into sources of
bright light. The laser beam should not be
directed towards persons.
Laser information plates based on
IEC60825-1: 1993 + A1: 1997+ A2: 2001/
DIN EN60825-1: 2003;
Laser information plates for the US
based on CFR 21 § 1040 (FDA)
This laser product complies with 21 CFR
1040, as applicable.
5.4.3. Transport
Remove the alkaline or rechargeable
batteries whenever transporting the
range meter.
