4.3 Proper organization of the work area
a)
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.
b) Measurements taken through or from panes of glass
or through other objects may be inaccurate.
c)
Use the tool only within its specified limits.
d)
Use of the telescopic staff in the vicinity of over-
head high voltage cables is not permissible.
4.4 Electromagnetic compatibility
NOTE
Only for Korea: This device is suitable for the electromag-
netic radiation encountered in residential environments
(Class B). It is intended mainly for use in residential en-
vironments but may also be used in other environments.
Although the tool complies with the strict requirements
of the applicable directives, Hilti cannot entirely rule out
the possibility of the tool being subject to interference
caused by powerful electromagnetic radiation, leading
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. Likewise, Hilti
cannot rule out the possibility of interference with other
devices (e.g. aircraft navigation equipment).
