1. PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE OPERATION
For the safe use of the product and prevention of injury to operators and other persons as well
as prevention of property damage, items which should be observed are indicated by an
exclamation point within a triangle used with WARNING and CAUTION statements in this
instruction manual.
The definitions of the indications are listed below. Be sure you understand them before reading
the manuals main text.
Definition of Indication
WARNING
Ignoring this indication and making an operation error could possibly
result in death or serious injury to the operator.
CAUTION
Ignoring this indication and making an operation error could possibly
result in personal injury or property damage.
This symbol indicates items for which caution (hazard warnings inclusive) is urged.
Specific details are printed in or near the symbol.
This symbol indicates items which are prohibited. Specific details are printed in or
near the symbol.
This symbol indicates items which must always be performed. Specific details are
printed in or near the symbol.
1. PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE OPERATION
2
General
Warning
Do not perform disassembly or rebuilding. Fire, electric shock or burns could result.
Do not use the unit in areas exposed to high amounts of dust or ash, in areas where
there is inadequate ventilation, or near combustible materials. An explosion could
occur.
When securing the instrument in the carrying case make sure that all catches,
including the side catches, are closed. Failure to do so could result in the
instrument falling out while being carried, causing injury.
Caution
Do not use the carrying case as a footstool. The case is slippery and unstable so a
person could slip and fall off it.
Do not place the instrument in a case with a damaged case or belt. The case or
instrument could be dropped and cause injury.
1. PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE OPERATION
3
Power Supply
Warning
Do not short circuit. Heat or ignition could result.
Do not use voltage other than the specified power supply voltage. Fire or electrical
shock could result.
Do not use damaged power cords, plugs or loose outlets. Fire or electric shock
could result.
Do not use power cords other than those designated. Fire could result.
Do not use batteries other than those designated. An explosion could occur, or
abnormal heat generated, leading to fire.
Do not place articles such as clothing on the battery charger while charging
batteries. Sparks could be induced, leading to fire.
Use only the specified battery charger to recharge batteries. Other chargers may
be of different voltage rating or polarity, causing sparking which could lead to fire or
burns.
1. PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE OPERATION
4
Do not heat or throw batteries into fire. An explosion could occur, resulting in injury.
Do not use the battery or charger for any other equipment or purpose. Fire or burns
caused by ignition could result.
To prevent shorting of the battery in storage, apply insulating tape or equivalent to
the terminals. Otherwise shorting could occur, resulting in fire or burns.
Do not use batteries or the battery charger if wet. Resultant shorting could lead to
fire or burns.
Do not connect or disconnect power supply plugs with wet hands. Electric shock
could result.
Caution
Do not touch liquid leaking from batteries. Harmful chemicals could cause burns or
blisters.
1. PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE OPERATION
5
Tripod
Caution
When mounting the instrument to the tripod, tighten the centering screw securely.
Failure to tighten the screw properly could result in the instrument falling off the
tripod, causing injury.
Tighten securely the leg fixing screws of the tripod on which the instrument is
mounted. Failure to tighten the screws could result in the tripod collapsing, causing
injury.
Do not carry the tripod with the tripod shoes pointed at other persons. A person
could be injured if struck by the tripod shoes.
Keep hands and feet away from the tripod shoes when fixing the tripod in the
ground. A hand or foot stab wound could result.
Tighten the leg fixing screws securely before carrying the tripod. Failure to tighten
the screws could lead to the tripod legs extending, causing injury.

2. PRECAUTIONS
Before starting work or operation, be sure to check that the instrument is functioning correctly
with normal performance.
Vibration and Impact Protection
When transporting the instrument, provide protection to minimize risk of severe vibration or
impact. Severe vibration or impacts may affect beam accuracy.
Sudden changes of temperature
A sudden change in temperature may cause water condensation on the glass used for the laser
emission part.
In such a case, let the instrument stand for a while to allow it to adjust to the temperature prior
to actual use.
Exceptions from Responsibility
The user of this product is expected to follow all operating instructions and make periodic
checks of the products performance.

3. LASER SAFETY INFORMATION
The RL-SV2S is classified as a class 3R Laser Product according to IEC Standard Publication
60825-1 Ed.2.0: 2007 and United States Government Code of Federal Regulation FDA CDRH
21CFR Part1040.10 and 1040.11 (Complies with FDA performance standards for laser products
except for deviations pursuant to Laser Notice No.50, dated June 24, 2007.)
Laser Safety
This product projects a visible laser beam during operation. This product is manufactured and
sold in accordance with Performance Standards for Light-Emitting Products (FDA/BRH 21
CFR 1040) or Radiation Safety of Laser Products, Equipment Classification, Requirements and
Users Guide (IEC Publication 60825-1) provided on the safety standards for laser beam.
As per the said standard, RL-SV2S standard model is classified as Class 3R (IIIa) Laser
Products. These are simple products to operate and do not require training from a laser safety
officer. In case of any failure, do not disassemble the instrument. Contact TOPCON or your
TOPCON dealer.
3. LASER SAFETY INFORMATION
9
Warning
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Do not look directly into the laser beam. Doing so could cause permanent eye
damage.

Laser output: 2.4mW
Beam aperture
Explanatory Label
Each label is differed by the market.
3. LASER SAFETY INFORMATION
10
Do not stare at the laser beam. Doing so could cause permanent eye damage.
If an eye injury is caused by exposure to the laser beam, seek immediate medical
attention from a licensed ophthalmologist.
Caution
Perform checks at start of work and periodic checks and adjustments with the laser
beam emitted under normal conditions.
When the instrument is not being used, turn off the power.
When disposing of the instrument, destroy the battery connector so that the laser
beam cannot be emitted.
Operate the instrument with due caution to avoid injuries that may be caused by
the laser beam unintentionally striking a person in the eye. Avoid setting the
instrument at heights at which the path of the laser beam may strike pedestrians or
drivers at head height.
