• The tool and its ancillary equipment can present hazards when used incorrectly by untrained personnel or when used not as directed.
• To reduce the risk of injury, use only genuine Hilti accessories and ancillary equipment.
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating the tool. Do not use the tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating the tool may result in serious personal injury.
• Tampering with or modification of the tool is not permitted.
• Observe the information printed in the operating instructions concerning operation, care and maintenance.
• Do not render safety devices ineffective and do not remove information and warning notices.
• Keep laser tools out of reach of children.
• Take the influences of the surrounding area into account. Do not expose the appliance to rain or snow and do not use it in damp or wet conditions. Do not use the appliance where there is a risk of fire of explosion.
• Maintain the device carefully. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect operation of the device. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained equipment.
• Have the device serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. The safety of the electric tool can thus be maintained.
• You must check the accuracy of the device after it has been dropped or subjected to other mechanical stresses.
• When the tool is brought into a warm environment from very cold conditions, or vice-versa, allow it to become acclimatized before use.
• Make sure that the tool is mounted securely when adapters or accessories are used.
• Keep the laser exit aperture clean to avoid measurement errors.
• Although the device is designed for the tough conditions of jobsite use, as with other optical and electronic instruments (e.g. binoculars, spectacles, cameras) it should be treated with care.
• Although the product is protected against the entry of moisture, it should be wiped dry before being put away in its transport container.
• Check the accuracy of the measurements several times during use of the tool.

Proper preparation of the working area

• Secure the site in which you are taking measurements and take care to avoid directing the beam towards other persons or towards yourself when setting up the tool.
• Avoid unfavorable body positions when working from ladders. Make sure you work from a safe stance and stay in balance at all times.
• Measurements taken through panes of glass or other objects may be inaccurate.
• Ensure that the tool is set up on a stable, level surface (not subject to vibration).
• Use the tool only within its specified limits.
• If several laser tools are used in the same working area, care must be taken to avoid confusing the beams.
• Magnetic fields may affect the accuracy of the tool. It must thus be kept away from magnetic objects.

The tool is not affected by the Hilti universal adapter.
Electromagnetic compatibility
Although the device complies with the strict requirements of the applicable directives, Hilti cannot entirely rule out the possibility of interference to the device caused by powerful electromagnetic radiation, possibly leading to incorrect operation. Check the accuracy of the device 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).
Laser classification for laser class 2 / class II tools
Depending on the version purchased, the tool complies with Laser Class 2 in accordance with IEC60825- 1:2014 / EN60825-1:2014 and Class II in accordance with CFR 21 §1040.10 and 1040.11(FDA). These devices can be used without further protective measures. The eyes of a person inadvertently looking into the beam briefly are protected by eyelid closure reflex. This eyelid closure reflex, however, can be negatively affected by medication, alcohol or drugs. Nevertheless, as with the sun, do not look directly into the light source. Do not aim the laser beam at persons.

2. LED
3. Laser exit window
4. Battery compartment

Intended use
The PM 2-PE is a self-leveling point laser which allows a single person to carry out vertical alignment work quickly and accurately. The tool features two coincident laser beams (beams that originate from the same point). All beams have the same range of 30 m (range depends on the brightness of ambient light). The tool is designed to be used to mark plumb points, mainly in interiors. When used for outdoor applications, care must be taken to ensure that the general conditions are similar to those encountered indoors. Possible applications are: Transferring points marked on the floor to the ceiling. Modification of the tool is not permitted. Observe the information printed in the operating instructions concerning operation, care and maintenance. To avoid risk of injury, use only genuine Hilti accessories and accessory tools. The power tool and its ancillary equipment may present hazards when used incorrectly by untrained personnel or when used not as directed.
Features
The PM 2-PE is self-leveling in all directions within approx 4°. Self-leveling takes only approximately 3 seconds. When the self-leveling range is exceeded, the laser beam flashes to warn the user. The PM 2-PE is characterized by its ease of operation and use, its robust plastic casing and its ease of transport due to its compact dimensions and light weight. When in normal operating mode, the tool switches itself off after 15 minutes. Sustained operating mode is possible by switching on, switching off and switching on again within 3 seconds.

Examples of applications

• Two examples of use are outlined below.

Setting up drywall track for partition walls 3

• If you want to set track for partition walls, proceed as illustrated here.

Setting up lighting elements 4

• If you want to set up lighting elements, proceed as illustrated here.

Checking the plumb point 5

1. Make a mark on the floor (a cross) in a high room (e.g. in a stairwell or hallway with a height of 5-10 m).

2. Place the tool on an even, level surface.

3. Switch the tool on.

4. Position the tool with the lower beam on the center of the cross.

5. Mark the position of the vertical beam on the ceiling. Attach a piece of paper to the ceiling before making the mark.

6. Pivot the tool through 90°.
   The lower plumb beam must remain on the center of the cross.

7. Mark the position of the vertical beam on the ceiling.

8. Repeat the procedure after pivoting the tool through 180° and 270°. The resulting 4 marks form a circle in which the intersection of the diagonals d1 (1-3) and d2 (2-4) marks the exact center of the plumb point.

9. Calculate accuracy as described in the section.

Calculation of accuracy

• The result (R) provided by this formula (RH = room height) refers to the tool’s accuracy “in mm at 10 m”; see formula (1). This result (R) should be within the specification for the tool: 1.5 mm at 10 m.
