General Safety Rules - Hilti PLT 300 Manual De Instrucciones

▶ Avoid ingress of moisture. Ingress of moisture may cause a short circuit, resulting in burning injuries or
fire.
▶ Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery. Avoid contact with the liquid. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If the liquid contacts the eyes, also seek medical
attention. Liquid leaking from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
▶ Use only batteries of the type approved for use with the applicable tool. Use of other batteries or
use of the batteries for purposes for which they are not intended presents a risk of fire and explosion.
▶ Store the battery in a cool and dry place. Never store the battery where it is exposed to direct sunlight or
sources of heat, e.g. on heaters / radiators or behind glass.
▶ 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
charging contacts. Short-circuiting the contacts on a battery or charger may cause burning injuries or
start a fire.
▶ Do not charge or continue to use damaged batteries (e.g. batteries with cracks, broken parts, bent
or pushed-in and/or pulled-out contacts).
▶ Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for a certain
type of battery may present a risk of fire when used with other types of battery.
▶ Observe the special guidelines applicable to the transport, storage and use of Li-ion batteries.
▶ The battery must be insulated or removed from the tool before the tool is shipped or sent by mail.
Leaking batteries may damage the PLT 300.

General safety rules

▶ Before beginning measuring work, check that the accuracy of the tools used is adequate for the
requirements of the task.
▶ Do not operate the PLT 300 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.
▶ Wear personal protective equipment, always including protective glasses and protective gloves.
▶ Check the PLT 300 and PLC 300 before use for possible damage. Have any damage repaired by Hilti
Service.
▶ Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when working with the PLT 300. Do
not use the PLT 300 while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating the tool may result in serious personal injury.
▶ Operating and storage temperatures must be observed.
▶ When the PLT 300 or PLC 300 is brought into a warm environment from very cold conditions, or
vice-versa, allow it to become acclimatized before use.
▶ Check the accuracy of the PLT 300 after it has been dropped or subjected to other mechanical
stresses.
▶ When a tripod or wall mount is used, check that the PLT 300 is correctly and permanently mounted
and that the tripod is standing securely on solid ground.
▶ Keep the laser exit window clean in order to avoid measurement errors.
▶ Maintain the PLT 300 carefully. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may affect operation of the PLT 300. If parts are damaged, have
the parts replaced before use of the PLT 300. Poor maintenance is the cause of many accidents.
▶ Although the PLT 300 is designed for the tough conditions of jobsite use, as with other optical and
electronic instruments (e.g. binoculars, spectacles, cameras) it should be treated with care.
▶ Although the PLT 300 is protected to prevent entry of dampness, it should be wiped dry each time
before being put away in its transport container.
▶ As a precaution, check the previous settings or any adjustments you may have made.
▶ Fasten the battery compartment cover carefully so that the battery doesn't fall out. If battery
contact is lost the PLT 300 will switch itself off, possibly leading to loss of data.
