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, reflected 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 included 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.
(Rechargeable) batteries
Correct polarity must be observed while inserting the batteries.
•
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 batteries might cause acid burns when in contact with skin, therefore use suitable protective gloves
to handle corrupted batteries.
Batteries must be kept out of reach of children. Do not leave the battery lying around, as there is risk, that children or pets
•
swallow it.
All the batteries should be replaced at the same time. Mixing old and new batteries in the device can lead to battery leakage
•
and device damage.
Batteries must not be dismantled, short-circuited or thrown into fire. Never recharge non-rechargeable batteries. There is
•
a risk of explosion!
Miscellaneous
Servicing, adjustment or repair works must only be carried out by a specialist/ specialist workshop.

•
To measure small, irregular or soft objects, place a piece of cardboard in front of the object.
•
Change of measurement base does not affect old readings.
•
The unit cannot measure through glass.
•
For measuring long distance from 12 to 15 meters, the relative humidity should be 50% or above and target size
•
should be at least 3 x 3 m.
