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 of the tool
When used for outdoor applications, care must be taken to ensure that the
conditions under which the tool is used correspond to the conditions encountered indoors.
Examples of applications:
● Transferring points marked on the floor to the ceiling for drywall tracks.
● Transferring points marked on the floor to the ceiling for pipe hangers.
5.3 Misuse of the tool
● Do not use the tool unless its accuracy has been previously checked.
● The tool and its ancillary equipment may present hazards when used
incorrectly by untrained personnel or when used not as directed.
● Do not open the casing of the tool.
● To avoid the risk of injury, use only original Hilti accessories and addi-
tional equipment.
● Modification of the tool is not permissible.
● Observe the information printed in the operating instructions concern-
ing operation, care and maintenance.
● 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 center. 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.

en
5.4 Proper organization of the workplace
● Secure the area in which you are working and take care to avoid direct-
ing the beam toward other persons or toward yourself while setting up
the tool.
● Avoid unfavorable body positions when working on ladders or scaffold-
ing. 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 solid, level surface.
● Ensure that the tool is set up on a steady surface not exposed to vibra-
tion.
● Use the tool only within the specified limits of the application for which
it is intended (see Section 5.2).
5.4.1 Electromagnetic compatibility
Although the tool complies with the strict requirements of the relevant
directives, Hilti cannot entirely rule out the following possibilities:
● The tool may cause interference to other equipment (e.g. aircraft navi-
gation equipment, medical instruments or devices).
● The tool may be subject to interference caused by powerful radiation,
which may lead 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.
5.4.2 Laser classification
The tool conforms to laser class 2 based on the IEC825-1 / EN60825-01
2003 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. Nevertheless, the eyelid closure reflex 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.

5.5 General safety precautions
● Check the tool for possible damage or dirt before use. If the tool is found
to be damaged, have it repaired at a Hilti service center.
● The accuracy of the tool must be checked after it has been dropped or
subjected to other mechanical stresses.
● When the tool is brought into a warm environment from very cold con-
ditions, or vice-versa, allow it to become acclimatized before use.
● If mounting on an adaptor, ensure that the tool is attached securely.
● Keep the laser exit aperture clean to avoid measurement errors.
● Although the tool is designed for the tough conditions of jobsite use, as
with other optical instruments (binoculars, spectacles, cameras) it should
be treated with care.
● Although the tool is protected to prevent entry of dampness, it should
be wiped dry each time before being put away in its Hilti toolbox.
5.5.1 Electrical hazards
● The batteries must be insulated or removed from the tool before it is
shipped.
● The tool and the batteries must be disposed of in accordance with national
regulations in order to avoid environmental pollution. Consult the manufacturer if you are unsure.
