•
Do not wear sunglasses or other protective glasses when using
the laser. They offer NO protection against the laser light and can
interfere with the safe and secure recognition of the laser beam.
•
Never open the housing of the appliance. If you do, there is a risk
the laser light could exit without control and cause eye damage.
•
Take steps to ensure that, when the appliance is in use, the beam
direction cannot be inadvertantly changed, for example by an
accidental collision. This could cause the laser beam to be directed
straight into someones eyes.
To avoid damaging the device:
•
Do not permit dust or dirt to penetrate into the appliance.
Do not use it in moist or damp environments.
•
Remove the batteries if you do not intend to use the appliance for
an extended period – batteries discharge themselves and can then
leak. Always and only use replacement batteries of the type detailed
in the technical data.
To avoid the risks of accidents and personal injuries:
•
Do not let a wholly or partly drawn-out measuring tape retract
abruptly – through the momentum it could thrash about and cause
injuries. It is best to retract it in short segments only.
•
To avoid cuts and lacerations, keep your hands away from the
measuring tape when retracting it.
•
Always check to ensure that the appliance is in a serviceable condi-
tion before taking it into use. If the appliance is visibly damaged in
any way, it may not be used. Arrange for it to be safety-checked by
Customer Services first.
