5.2 Correct use

The tool is designed for indoor use. Vertical and/or horizontal lines can be projected by the

tool. The tool levels itself automatically. The automatic self-leveling system must be deactivated

when the tool is used for applications in an inclined plane.

– Check the accuracy of the tool at regular intervals. –To achieve maximum accuracy, project the lines onto

an even, vertical surface. Align the tool at 90° to the surface.

– The tool and its ancillary equipment may present

hazards when used incorrectly by untrained personnel or when used not as directed.

–To avoid the risk of injury, use only original Hilti

accessories and additional equipment. –Modification of the tool is not permissible. – Observe the information printed in the operating
