d) When a tripod or wall mount is used, check that
the tool is correctly and permanently mounted
and that the tripod is standing securely on solid
ground.
e) Maintain the machine carefully. Check for mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may affect
the machine's operation. If damaged, have the
en
machine repaired before use. Poor maintenance is
the cause of many accidents.
f) Although the tool is protected to prevent entry
of dampness, it should be wiped dry each time
before being put away in its transport container.
g) Check the tool for damage before use. If the tool
is found to be damaged, have it repaired at a Hilti
service center.
h) Operating and storage temperatures must be ob-
served.
i) Check the accuracy of the tool after it has
been dropped or subjected to other mechanical
stresses.
j) When the tool is brought into a warm environment
from very cold conditions, or vice-versa, allow it
to become acclimatized before use.

5 First steps

5.1 Batteries
The tool is equipped with two batteries which can supply power one after the other.
The current state of battery charge (both batteries) is always shown.
When changing batteries, one battery can remain in the tool and continue to provide power while the other battery is
being charged.
When changing batteries while the tool is in operation and to prevent the tool switching itself off, it is recommended
that the batteries are changed one after the other.

5.2 Charging the battery

After unpacking the tool, remove the AC adapter, charger and battery from their holders.
Charge the battery for approx. 4 hours.
5.3 Inserting and changing the battery 3
Insert the charged battery into the tool with the battery connector underneath and facing the tool.
Secure the battery compartment cover carefully.

5.4 Checking functions

NOTE
Please note that this tool makes use of friction clutches for pivoting about the alidade and thus does not have to be
locked at the horizontal drives.
The horizontal and vertical drives are of the continuous type, similar to those of an optical level.
Check the functions of the tool before initial use and at regular intervals in accordance with the following criteria:
18
k) Keep the laser exit aperture clean to avoid meas-
urement errors.
l) Although the tool is designed for the tough condi-
tions of jobsite use, as with other optical and elec-
tronic instruments (e.g. binoculars, spectacles,
cameras) it should be treated with care.
m) As a precaution, check the previous settings or
any adjustments you may have made.
n) View the tool at an angle when setting it up with
the aid of the circular bubble level.
o) Secure the battery compartment cover carefully
in order to ensure that the battery cannot fall
out and that no contact can occur which would
result in the tool being switched off inadvertently
possibly resulting in loss of data.
4.8 Transport
Observe the special guidelines applicable to the trans-
port, storage and use of Li-ion batteries.
The batteries must be insulated or removed from the
tool before the tool is shipped or sent by mail. Leaking
batteries may damage the tool.
To avoid pollution of the environment, the tool and the
batteries must be disposed of in accordance with the
currently applicable national regulations.
Consult the manufacturer if you are unsure of how to
proceed.
