• 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 and replace the lens cap.
• 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.
• Never point the laser beam at mirrors, windows or surfaces that are highly reflective. The reflected
laser beam could cause serious injury.
