General warning

Read the operating instructions before use.

 These numbers refer to the corresponding illustrations. The

illustrations can be found on the fold-out cover pages. Keep these pages open while studying the operating instructions. In these operating instructions, the PML 32 / PML 32-R line laser is referred to as «the tool».

Location of identification data on the tool

The type designation and serial number can be found on the type plate on the tool. Make a note of this information in your operating instructions and always refer to it when making an enquiry to your Hilti representative or service department.

Type : ___________ Serial no.: ___________

Warning signs

Return waste material for recycling

The tool projects two laser lines at 90° to each other (when projected onto a vertical, even surface situated at 90° to the tool). Leveling is automatic within ±5°.

The automatic leveling system can be deactivated for applications in an inclined plane.

Operating modes:

- Horizontal laser beam

- Vertical laser beam

- Horizontal and vertical laser beams

- Inclined plane (pendulum deactivated)

5. Safety precautions

5.1 Basic information concerning safety

In addition to the information relevant to safety given in each of the sections of these operating instructions, the following points must be strictly observed at all times.

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

instructions concerning operation, care and

maintenance.

5. Safety precautions

– Do not render safety devices ineffective and do not

remove information and warning notices. – Keep laser tools out of reach of children. – Have the tool repaired only at a Hilti service centre.

Failure to follow the correct procedures when opening

the tool may cause emission of laser radiation in

excess of class 2. – Do not expose the tool to rain or snow and do not use

it in damp or wet environments or where there may be

a risk of explosion.

5.3 Proper organization of the workplace

– Secure the area in which you are measuring and take

care to avoid directing the beam towards other

persons or towards yourself while setting up the tool. –Avoid unfavorable body positions when working on

ladders or scaffolding. Make sure you work from a

safe stance and stay in balance at all times. – Measurements taken through panes of glass or other

objects may be inaccurate. – Ensure that the tool is set up on a steady surface (not

subject to vibration). – Use the tool only within its specified limits.
