Safety

A Warning identifies conditions and procedures that are dangerous to the user. A Caution identifies conditions and procedures that can cause damage to the Product or the equipment under test.

| The laser safety warning symbol denotes laser radiation.
---|---
| The avoid direct eye exposure symbol denotes laser radiation.
| The Electrical hazard symbol is used to identify electrical hazards and high-voltage areas.

| Any waste electrical and electronic parts of the product must be disposed of according to applicable safety and environmental regulations.

Customers in member states of the European Union must adhere to the EU directive 2002/96/EC on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). Fluke products that fall under this directive are marked with the shown crossed-out wheelie bin symbol and must be disposed of according to this directive.

The marked components must be disposed of with Fluke or with Fluke-authorized disposal partners.

If you have any questions regarding the WEEE Directive, please contact your local Fluke sales representative.

Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury:

Read all safety information before you use the product

General safety
Warning
Use the product only as specified, or the protection supplied by the product can be compromised.

Make sure machines are locked out, tagged out, and cannot be started accidentally or deliberately during maintenance.

Laser safety
The product uses the laser unit 5275417. According to IEC 60825-1:2014, the laser unit is classified as a Class 2 laser product. The laser unit complies with 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 except for deviations pursuant to Laser Notice No.50, dated June 24, 2007. The laser operates at a wavelength of 505 – 535 nm. The laser has a maximum radiant power of < 2.8 mW. The radiant power determined according to IEC 60825-1:2014 condition 3 is < 1.0 mW. No maintenance is necessary to keep the product compliant as outlined above.

Warning
Do not look directly into the laser beam at any time. (The natural blink reaction of the human eye is normally sufficient to protect the eyes from any dangers posed by looking at the laser beam briefly. But as natural blink reaction can fail to occur, take care to avoid staring into the beam.) Do not insert any optical devices into the beam path. Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure. To prevent eye damage and personal injury:

Do not point the laser directly at persons or animals or indirectly off reflective surfaces.
Do not look directly into the laser with optical tools (for example binoculars, telescopes, microscopes). Optical tools can focus the laser and be dangerous to the eye.
Use the product only as specified or hazardous laser radiation exposure can occur.
Do not open the laser unit. The laser beam is dangerous to the eyes. Have the device repaired only through an approved Fluke service centre.

transporting Magnetic Components

Warning

Due to the powerful magnets on the laser and reflector units, handle the units with care, and
DO NOT transport the units with the magnets uncovered. Use the provided cover plate to cover the magnets. The cover plate lowers the magnetic field strength significantly. To cover the magnets, slide the plate onto the surface of the magnets.
DO NOT snap it on as this can cause painful nips and pinches. The units must be kept away from magnetic materials such as watches, spectacle frames and other units that can be damaged.

Caution
When not in use, store the product in the pouch. For maximum performance make sure that the optics on the laser transmitter, the reflecting surface on the reflector and the outside housing of both units are kept clean and dust-free. Clean the product with lint free cloth. Use the optics cleaning cloth (2687537) to clean the mirror surface.

Setup

Warning
Isolate the machines to be aligned from mains supply. Slide the cover plates to remove the plates from the product before mounting. DO NOT snap the units on as this can cause painful nips and pinches. Mount the reflector unit onto the machine to be moved, and the laser unit onto the stationary machine

Handling Precautions

Caution
Do not drop the product. Do not subject the product to physical shock.
Storage
Use the provided pouch to transport the units. If the laser unit is not used for an extended period, remove the batteries, and store them in a cool, dry and well-ventilated location. Observe the storage temperature specified in the technical data. To remove batteries, use your thumb or a coin and lift off the end cap attached to the battery holder. Pull out the battery holder and remove the batteries.
