opening the tool may cause emission of laser
radiation in excess of class 2.
d) Modification of the power tool or tampering with its
parts is not permissible.
e) To avoid the risk of injury, use only genuine Hilti
accessories and additional equipment.
f) Do not use the tool in areas where there is a
danger of explosion.
g) Use only clean, soft cloths for cleaning. If necessary,
they may be moistened with a little alcohol.
h) Keep laser tools out of reach of children.
i) Do not point the tool toward the sun or other powerful
light sources.
j) Do not use the tool as a level.
k) Check the tool before taking important measure-
ments or after it has been dropped or subjected to
mechanical effects such as impact or vibration.

6.3 Proper organization of the work area

a) Observe the accident prevention regulations applic-
able in your country.
b) Avoid hard impacts or strong vibration.
c) High temperature fluctuations will cause condensa-
tion to form on the objective lens. The tool should
thus be allowed to acclimatize before use.
d) The tool should not be exposed to the heat of the
sun for long periods.
e) Remove the battery if the tool is to remain unused for
a long period of time. Leaking batteries may damage
the tool.
f) After use, the tool should be stored in its toolbox in a
dry state.
g) The bubble levels should be checked at regular in-
tervals by reversing their position and readjusted if
necessary.

6.4 Electromagnetic compatibility

Although the tool complies with the strict requirements
of the applicable directives, Hilti cannot entirely rule out
the possibility of the tool
- causing interference to other devices (e.g. aircraft nav-
igation equipment) or being subject to
- interference caused by powerful electromagnetic radi-
ation, leading to incorrect operation.
Check the accuracy of the tool by taking measurements
by other means when working under such conditions or
if you are unsure.

6.4.1 Laser classification

The laser plummet incorporated in the tool conforms to
laser class 2 based on the IEC825-1 / EN60825-01:2008
standard and class II based on CFR 21 § 1040 (FDA).
The eyelid closure reflex protects the eyes when a person
looks into the beam unintentionally for a brief moment.
This eyelid closure reflex, however, may be negatively
affected by medicines, alcohol or drugs. This tool may
be used without need for further protective measures.
Nevertheless, as with the sun, one should not look directly
into sources of bright light. Do not direct the laser beam
toward persons.

6.5 General safety rules

a) Check the tool for damage before use. If the tool
is found to be damaged, have it repaired at a Hilti
service center.
b) Check the accuracy of the tool after it has
been dropped or subjected to other mechanical
stresses.
c) When the tool is brought into a warm environment
from very cold conditions, or vice-versa, allow it
to become acclimatized before use.
d) When a tripod is used, check that the tool is
securely mounted (screwed on) and that the tripod
stands securely on solid ground.
e) Keep the laser exit aperture clean to avoid meas-
urement errors.
f) 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.
g) 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.
h) As a precaution, check the previous settings or
any adjustments you may have made.
i) View the tool at an angle when setting it up with
the aid of the circular bubble level.
j) 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.

6.6 Transport

The battery must be insulated or removed from the tool
before the tool is shipped or sent by mail. Leaking bat-
teries may damage the tool.
To avoid pollution of the environment, the tool and the
battery must be disposed of in accordance with the
currently applicable national regulations.
Consult the manufacturer if you are unsure of how to
proceed.
