▶ The product and its ancillary equipment may present hazards when used
incorrectly by untrained personnel or when used not as directed.
▶ To avoid the risk of injury, use only genuine Hilti accessories and additional
equipment.
▶ Observe the information printed in the operating instructions concerning
operation, care and maintenance.
▶ Never use the product without having received the appropriate instruction
on its use or without having read this documentation.
▶ Due to the principle employed, the results of measurements may be neg-
atively affected by the surrounding conditions. This includes, e.g. close
proximity to equipment that generates powerful magnetic or electromag-
netic fields, taking measurements from unsuitable surfaces and use of
unsuitable reflectors.
▶ Measurements to plastic foam surfaces, e.g. polystyrene foam, to snow
or to highly reflective surfaces, etc. may result in incorrect readings.
2.2 Proper preparation of the working area
▶ Avoid unfavorable body positions when working from ladders. Make sure
you have a safe stance and that you stay in balance at all times.
▶ Secure the site at which you are taking measurements and take care to
avoid directing the laser beam toward other persons or toward yourself.
▶ Use the product only within its specified limits. Do not direct the laser
beam toward mirrors, stainless steel, polished stone or similar surfaces.
▶ Keep the laser exit window clean in order to avoid measurement errors.
▶ Observe the accident prevention regulations applicable in your country.
2.3 Electromagnetic compatibility
Although the laser range meter complies with the strict requirements of
the applicable directives, Hilti cannot entirely rule out the possibility of
interference to the laser range meter caused by powerful electromagnetic
radiation, possibly leading to incorrect operation.
checked by taking measurements by other means when working under such
conditions or if you are unsure. Likewise, Hilti cannot rule out the possibility
of interference with other devices (e.g. aircraft navigation equipment). The
laser range meter complies with the requirements of class A: The possibility
of interference occurring in a domestic environment cannot be excluded.
2.4 Working safely with laser tools
▶ Laser Class 2 tools may be operated only by appropriately trained persons.
▶ Laser beams should not be projected at eye height.
▶ Precautions must be taken to ensure that the laser beam does not
unintentionally strike highly reflective surfaces.
▶ Precautions must be taken to ensure that persons do not stare directly
into the beam.
