IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric
shock, fi re and/or serious injury. Save these instructions - This operator's
manual contains important safety and operating instructions for the
MILWAUKEE Laser Distance Meter. Before using the Laser Distance Meter,
read this operator's manual and all labels on the Laser Distance Meter.
LASER SAFETY
• Laser light - Do not stare into beam or
view directly with optical instruments.
Do not point laser light at others.
Laser light can cause eye damage.
• Avoid exposure to laser radiation.
Laser may emit hazardous radiation.
• Do not point laser at refl ective surfac-
es. Unpredictable results may occur.
WORK AREA SAFETY
• Keep children and bystanders away
while operating Laser Distance Meter.
Store idle Laser Distance Meter out of
the reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the tool or
these instructions to operate it.
• Avoid dangerous environments.
Do not use in rain, snow, damp or wet
locations. Do not use in the presence
of explosive atmospheres (gaseous
fumes, dust or fl ammable materials)
because sparks may be generated
when inserting or removing batteries,
possibly causing fi re.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert, watch what you are do-
ing and use common sense when
operating Laser Distance Meter. Do
not use while you are tired or under
the infl uence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention
may result in serious personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper foot-
ing and balance at all times. This
enables better control in unexpected
situations.
BATTERY USE AND CARE
• This tool is designed to be powered
by 2-AAA batteries properly inserted
into the MILWAUKEE Laser Distance
Meter. Do not attempt to use with any
other voltage or power supply.
• Do not leave batteries within the
reach of children.
• Do not mix new and used batteries.
Do not mix brands (or types within
brands) of batteries.
• Do not mix rechargeable and non-
rechargeable batteries.
• Install batteries according to polarity
(+ / –) diagrams.
• Properly dispose of used batteries
immediately.
• Do not incinerate or dismantle bat-
teries.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid
may be ejected from the battery,
avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, fl ush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
SERVICE
• Have your Laser Distance Meter
serviced by a qualifi ed repair person
using only identical replacement
2
parts. This will ensure that the safety
of the tool is maintained.
• Do not disassemble. Incorrect reas-
sembly may result in the risk of electric
shock or fi re. If it is damaged, take it to
a MILWAUKEE service facility.
• Store in a cool, dry place. Do not
store where temperatures may exceed
158°F (70°C) such as in direct sunlight,
a vehicle or metal building during the
summer.
HAZARDS OF USE
• Do not remove or deface labels.
Maintain labels and nameplates.
These carry important information.
If unreadable or missing, contact a
MILWAUKEE service facility for a free
replacement.
• Watch out for erroneous distance
measurements if the meter is defec-
tive or if it has been dropped or has
been misused or modifi ed. Carry out
periodic test measurements.Particularly
after the meter has been subject to ab-
normal use, and before, during and after
important measurements. Make sure the
optic is kept clean and that there is no
mechanical damage to the bumpers.
• In using the meter for distance mea-
surements or for positioning moving
objects (e.g. cranes, building equip-
ment, platforms, etc.) unforeseen
events may cause erroneous mea-
surements. Only use this product as
a measuring sensor, not as a control
device. Your system must be confi g-
ured and operated in such a way, that
in case of an erroneous measurement,
malfunction of the device or power
failure due to installed safety measures
(e.g. safety limit switch), it is assured
that no damage will occur.
• Target Surfaces- Measuring errors
can occur when measuring toward
colourless liquids (e.g. water) or
dust free glass, Styrofoam or similar
semi-permeable surfaces. Aiming at
high gloss surfaces may defl ect the
laserbeam and lead to measurement
errors.
