Laser information plate based on IEC825/EN60825-
1:2003
Laser information plate for the US based on CFR 21
§ 1040 (FDA)
This laser product complies with 21 CFR 1040 as applic-
able.
-NOTE-
● Laser class 3 tools should be operated only by trained
personnel.
● The area in which the tool is in use should be marked
with laser warning signs.
● The plane of the laser beam should be well above or
well below eye level.
● Precautionary measures must be taken to avoid inad-
vertent reflection of the laser beam from potentially
reflective surfaces.
● Precautionary measures must be taken to ensure that
persons do not look directly into the beam.
● The laser beam should not be projected into unsu-
pervised areas.
● When not in use, laser tools should be stored in a place
inaccessible to unauthorized persons.
5.4 General safety precautions
● Check the tool 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 stress.
● When the tool is brought into a warm environment
from very cold conditions, or vice versa, allow it to
become acclimatized before use.
● If mounting on an adaptor, ensure that the tool is
screwed on securely.
● Keep the laser exit aperture clean to avoid measure-
ment errors.
● Although the tool is designed for the tough conditions
of jobsite use, as with other optical instruments (binoc-
ulars, spectacles, cameras) it should be treated with
care.
● Although the tool is designed to prevent entry of damp-
ness, it should be wiped dry each time before being
put away in its transport container.
● Check the tool before using it for important measur-
ing work.
● Check the accuracy of the tool regularly while in use.
5.4.1 Electrical
● Do not allow the batteries to fall into children's hands.
● Do not overheat or incinerate the batteries. They may
explode or release toxic substances.
● Do not attempt to recharge the batteries (non-recharge-
able, alkaline type).
● Do not solder the batteries into the tool.
● Do not discharge the batteries by short circuiting. This
may cause the batteries to overheat and swell up.
● Do not attempt to open the batteries and do not sub-
ject them to excessive mechanical stress.
