Maintain the machine carefully. Check for mis-
j)
alignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
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.
k) 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.
l)
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.
m) As a precaution, check the previous settings or
any adjustments you may have made.
n) View the tool at an angle when setting it up with
the aid of the circular bubble level.
o) Secure the battery compartment cover carefully
in order to ensure that the battery cannot fall
out and that no contact can occur which would
result in the tool being switched off inadvertently
possibly resulting in loss of data.
4.5.1 Careful use of battery-powered tools or
appliances
a) Do not expose batteries to high temperatures and
keep them away from fire. This presents a risk of
explosion.
b) Do not disassemble, squash or incinerate batter-
ies and do not subject them to temperatures over
75°C. This presents a risk of fire, explosion or injury
through contact with caustic substances.
c) Avoid ingress of moisture. Ingress of moisture may
cause a short circuit, resulting in burning injuries or
fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may leak from the
battery. Avoid contact. If contact accidentally oc-
curs, flush with water. In the event of the liquid
5 First steps
5.1 Controller
5.1.1 Switching on the POC 100 and POC 200 controllers
coming into contact with the eyes, rinse the eyes
with plenty of water and consult a doctor. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
e) Use only batteries of the type approved for use
with the applicable tool. Use of other batteries or
use of the batteries for purposes for which they are
not intended presents a risk of fire and explosion.
f)
Observe the special guidelines applicable to the
transport, storage and use of Li-ion batteries.
g) Store the battery in a cool and dry place. Never store
the battery where it is exposed to direct sunlight or
sources of heat, e.g. on heaters / radiators or behind
glass.
h) Paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws and other
small metal objects that could short-circuit the
electrical contacts must be kept away from bat-
teries that are not in use and away from battery
chargers. Short-circuiting the contacts on a battery
or charger may cause burning injuries or start a fire.
i)
Do not charge or continue to use damaged bat-
teries (e.g. batteries with cracks, broken parts,
bent or pushed-in and/or pulled-out contacts).
j)
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.
4.6 Transport
Observe the special guidelines applicable to the trans-
port, storage and use of Li-ion batteries.
The batteries must be insulated or removed from the
tool before the tool is shipped or sent by mail. Leaking
batteries may damage the tool.
To avoid pollution of the environment, the tool and the
batteries must be disposed of in accordance with the
currently applicable national regulations.
Consult the manufacturer if you are unsure of how to
proceed.
