2 Safety instructions

2.1 Basic information concerning safety
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to
follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and
instructions for future reference. The term "power tool"
in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
2.2 General safety rules
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
b) Do not render safety devices ineffective and do
not remove information and warning notices.
c) Keep laser tools out of reach of children.
d) Failure to follow the correct procedures when open-
ing the tool may cause emission of laser radiation in
excess of class 2. Have the tool repaired only at a
Hilti Service Center.
e) The plane of the laser beam should be well above or
well below eye height.
f) Take the influences of the surrounding area into
account. Do not use the tool where there is a risk
of fire or explosion.
g) (Statement in accordance with FCC §15.21):
Changes or modifications not expressly approved
by the manufacturer can void the user's authority to
operate the equipment.
h) Check the condition of the tool before use. If the
tool is found to be damaged, have it repaired at a
Hilti service center.
i) The user must check the accuracy of the tool
after it has been dropped or subjected to other
mechanical stresses.

l) Keep the laser exit aperture clean to avoid meas-
urement errors.
m) 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.
n) 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.
o) Check the tool before using it for important meas-
uring work.
p) Check the accuracy of the measurements several
times during use of the tool.

Maintain the machine carefully. Check for mis-

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.

2.3 Proper organization of the work area
