instructions and other instructions can result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Keep all safety precautions and instructions for future reference.
Personal safety
▶ Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a measuring tool. Do not
use a measuring tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating the measuring tool can result in serious injuries.
▶ Do not allow yourself to be lulled into a false sense of security and do not flout the safety rules for tools,
even if you are familiar with the tool after using it many times. Carelessness can result in serious injury
within a fraction of a second.
▶ Keep children and other persons away from the working area.
Electrical safety
▶ Do not expose the product to rain or moisture. Water entering an electric device increases the risk of
electric shock.
Using and handling the measuring tool
▶ Due to the principle employed, the results of measurements may be negatively affected by the surrounding
conditions. This includes, for example, close proximity to products that generate powerful magnetic
or electromagnetic fields, taking measurements from unsuitable surfaces and the use of unsuitable
reflectors.
▶ When the product 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 product if it has been dropped or subjected to other mechanical stresses.
▶ Do not use the product for purposes for which it was not intended. Use it only as directed and when in
faultless condition.
Using and handling the cordless power tool
▶ Use only the specified batteries in the measuring tools. Use of other batteries can result in injury and a
risk of fire.
▶ 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.
▶ Paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws and other small metal objects that could short-circuit the electrical
contacts must be kept away from batteries that are not in use and away from battery chargers. Short-
circuiting the contacts on a battery or charger can cause burn injuries or start a fire.
▶ Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery. Avoid contact with the liquid. Liquid
leaking from the battery may cause skin irritation or burns.
▶ Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the appliance. This precaution reduces the risk of the
power tool starting accidentally.
▶ Remove the battery before storing or transporting the product. Store the product in a dry place where it
cannot be accessed by children or unauthorized persons.
