SAFETY

•  All instructions must be read and observed in order 

to work safely with the measuring tool 

2

•  Never make warning signs on the measuring tool 

unrecognisable

• 

 The use of other operating or adjusting 

equipment or the application of other processing 

methods than those mentioned here can lead to 

dangerous radiation exposure

• 

Do not direct the laser beam at persons or animals 

and do not stare into the direct or reflected laser 

beam yourself, not even from a distance

 (you could 

blind somebody, cause accidents or damage your eyes) 

3

•  If laser radiation strikes your eye, you must 

deliberately close your eyes and immediately turn 

your head away from the beam

•  Do not make any modifications to the laser 

equipment

• 

Do not use the laser viewing glasses as safety 

goggles

 (the laser viewing glasses are used for 

improved visualisation of the laser beam, but they do not 

protect against laser radiation)

• 

Do not use the laser viewing glasses as sun glasses 

or in traffic

 (the laser viewing glasses do not afford 

complete UV protection and reduce colour perception)

• 

Have the measuring tool repaired only through 

qualified specialists using original spare parts

 (this 

ensures that the safety of the measuring tool is 

maintained)

• 

Do not allow children to use the laser measuring 

tool without supervision

 (they could unintentionally 

blind other persons or themselves)

• 

Do not operate the measuring tool in explosive 

environments, such as in the presence of flammable 

liquids, gases or dusts

 (sparks can be created in the 

measuring tool which may ignite the dust or fumes)

• 

Keep the measuring tool away from cardiac 

pacemakers

 (the magnet inside the measuring tool 

generates a field that can impair the function of cardiac 

pacemakers)

• 

Keep the measuring tool away from magnetic data 

media and magnetically-sensitive equipment

 (the 

effect of the magnet can lead to irreversible data loss)

USE

•  On/off

-  before first use, remove protective insert as illustrated 

5

-  switch on/off the tool by pushing switch A

!  do not stare into the laser beam

!  do not point the laser beam at persons or 

animals

!  always switch off the tool after use

•  Changing batteries 

6

!  ensure that the tool is switched off

-  remove cover E

-  insert 3 x AG13 button cell battery (pay attention to 

correct polarisation)

-  mount cover E

-  always remove the batteries from the tool, if the tool is 

not used for a long period

-  always replace the complete set of batteries

•  Operating the tool 

7

-  when projecting a horizontal line, ensure that the 

bubble in level B is centered

-  when projecting a vertical line, ensure that the bubble 

in level C is centered

-  make measurements using the projected line as 

reference

-  when projecting a laser line at a longer distance, you 

may increase its visibility by placing an object at the 

end of the desired distance
