General Safety Rules; Careful Use Of Battery-Powered Tools Or Appliances; Transport - Hilti POS 150 Manual De Instrucciones

h) Switch the laser tool off when it is not in use.

4.5 General safety rules

a) Before taking measurements, the user must make
sure that the instruments and equipment used
meet the requirements of the task.
b) Do not operate the tool in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases or dust. Tools and appliances create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Check the tool for damage before use. If the tool
is found to be damaged, have it repaired at a Hilti
service center.
d) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon sense when operating the machine. Don't
use the machine when you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A mo-
ment of inattention while operating machines may
result in serious personal injury.
e) Operating and storage temperatures must be ob-
served.
When the tool is brought into a warm environment
f)
from very cold conditions, or vice-versa, allow it
to become acclimatized before use.
g) Check the accuracy of the tool after it has
been dropped or subjected to other mechanical
stresses.
h) 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.
i) Keep the laser exit aperture clean to avoid meas-
urement errors.
j) 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
machine repaired before use. Poor maintenance is
the cause of many accidents.
k) 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.
Although the tool is protected to prevent entry
l)
of dampness, it should be wiped dry each time
before being put away in its transport container.
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.
4.5.1 Careful use of battery-powered tools or
appliances
a) Do not expose batteries to high temperatures or
fire. This presents a risk of explosion.
b) Do not disassemble, squash or incinerate batter-
ies and do not subject them to temperatures over
75°C. A risk of fire, explosion or injury through con-
tact with caustic substances may otherwise result.
c) Avoid ingress of moisture. Moisture in the interior
of the tool may cause a short circuit and chemical
reactions resulting in burns to the skin or fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may leak from the
battery. Avoid contact. If contact accidentally oc-
curs, flush with water. In the event of the liquid
coming into contact with the eyes, rinse the eyes
with plenty of water and consult a doctor. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
e) Do not use batteries other than those approved
for use with the applicable tool or appliance. Use
of other batteries or use of the battery for purposes
for which it is not intended presents a risk of fire and
explosion.
f) Observe the special instructions applicable to the
transport, storage and use of Li-ion batteries.
g) Store the battery in a cool, dry place. Never store
the battery where it is exposed to direct sunlight or
sources of heat, e.g. on heaters / radiators or behind
a motor vehicle windscreen.
h) When not in use, keep the battery and the charger
away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws
or other small metal objects that could cause a
short circuit at the battery terminals or the char-
ging contacts. A short circuit at the battery terminals
or charging contacts could result in personal injury
(burns) or fire.
i) Do not charge or continue to use damaged bat-
teries (e.g. batteries with cracks, broken parts,
bent or pushed-in and/or pulled-out contacts).
j) Use only the battery chargers recommended by
the manufacturer to charge the batteries. Use of a
charger with batteries other than the specific type(s)
for which it is designed presents a risk of fire.

4.6 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.
