and warning notes in these operating instructions.
• For safety and approval reasons, unauthorised conversion and/or modification of the device are not

• Consult an expert if in doubt as to the operation, the safety or the connection of the device.
• Meters and accessories have no place in the hands of children. Therefore, be particularly careful when
children are present.
• Protect the product from extreme temperatures direct sunlight, high humidity, moisture, flammable
gases, vapours and solvents.
• Do not operate the meter in rooms or under unfavourable conditions where combustible gases, vapours
or dusts are or may be present.
• Avoid operation in direct proximity of strong magnetic or electromagnetic fields or transmission aerials.
This could affect the measurement.
• Steam, dust, smoke and/or vapours may impair looks and lead to an incorrect measuring result!
• When operating the laser device, always observe that the laser beam is guided so that no persons are
present in the projection area and that inadvertently reflected beams (e.g. by reflecting objects) cannot
reach the area where persons are present.
• Laser radiation may be dangerous if the laser beam or a reflection enters the unprotected eye. There-
fore, familiarise yourself with the statutory regulations and measures of precaution for the operation of
this kind of laser device before using the laser facility.
• Never look into the laser beam and never point it at people or animals. Laser radiation can seriously
damage your eyes.
• If a laser beam hits the eye, close your eyes deliberately and move your head from the beam at once.
• If your eyes have been irritated by the laser radiation, do not perform any safety-relevant work, such as
work with machines, at heights or near high voltages, anymore. Do not operate any vehicles anymore
until the irritation has subsided.
