Safety

2.1 General safety rules
WARNING! Read all safety precautions and other instructions. Failure to observe the safety instructions and other instructions can result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.
Keep all safety precautions and instructions for future reference.
Personal safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a measuring tool. Do not use a measuring tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating the measuring tool can result in serious injuries.
• Do not allow yourself to be lulled into a false sense of security and do not flout the safety rules for tools, even if you are familiar with the tool after using it many times.  Carelessness can result in serious injury within a fraction of a second.
• Keep children and other persons away from the working area.

Electrical safety

• Do not expose the product to rain or moisture. Water entering an electric device increases the risk of electric shock.

Using and handling the measuring tool

• Due to the principle employed, the results of measurements may be negatively affected by the surrounding conditions. This includes, for example, close proximity to products that generate powerful magnetic or electromagnetic fields, taking measurements from unsuitable surfaces, and use of unsuitable reflectors.

• When the product is brought into a warm environment from very cold conditions, or vice-versa, allow it to become acclimatized before use.

• Check the accuracy of the product if it has been dropped or subjected to other mechanical stresses.

• Do not use the product for purposes for which it was not intended. Use it only as directed and when in faultless condition.
  Using and handling the cordless power tool

• Use only the specified batteries in the measuring tools. The use of other batteries can result in injury and a risk of fire.

• Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for a certain type of battery may present a risk of fire when used with other types of battery.

• Paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, and other small metal objects that could short-circuit the electrical contacts must be kept away from batteries that are not in use and away from battery chargers. Shortcircuiting the contacts on a battery or charger can cause burn injuries or start a fire.

• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery. Avoid contact with the liquid. Liquid leaking from the battery may cause skin irritation or burns.

• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the appliance. This precaution reduces the risk of the power tool starting accidentally.

• Remove the battery before storing or transporting the product. Store the product in a dry place where it cannot be accessed by children or unauthorized persons.

2.2 Product-specific safety instructions
Using and handling the measuring tool

• Rapidly changing measuring conditions can falsify the result of measurement.
• Keep the product clean and dry at all times.
• Always check the device settings before using it.
• Use the product only within its specified limits.

2.3 Additional safety instructions
Work area safety

• Keep the work area clean and uncluttered and watch out for supply cords routed in the work area.
  Carelessly routed supply cords can constitute trip hazards and lead to injuries. Measuring tools mounted
  on tripods can topple and be damaged if a supply cord is accidentally pulled. Make sure you are aware of
  everything that is happening around you when you change position while using the remote control unit.

Personal safety

• The product complies with Laser Class 2 in accordance with IEC/EN 60825-1:2014 in accordance with CFR 21 Sec. 1040 (FDA). This product may be used without the need for further protective measures.
  Nevertheless, as with the sun, do not look directly into the light source. If you do inadvertently look into the laser beam, immediately close your eyes and move your head clear of the laser beam. Do not aim the laser beam at persons.

• If the product falls from an elevated position there is a risk of injury to persons. Use only tripods recommended by Hilti.

• Wear your personal protective equipment and always wear protective glasses. Depending on the type of product you are using and its purpose, wearing personal protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-slip safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection reduces the risk of injury.

Using and handling the measuring tool

• Maintain the measuring tool carefully. Check that moving parts are in full working order and do not jam and make sure there are no parts that are broken or damaged in such a way as to impair the operation of the measuring tool. Have damaged parts been repaired before using the tool? Poor maintenance of measuring tools is the cause of many accidents.
• Make sure that the scanning tool is standing firmly on all three of its rests or is correctly secured to the tripod recommended by Hilti.
• To avoid inaccuracies, always make sure that the target plate is always perfectly plumb when points are marked. Use the adjusting screw and the bubble level for adjusting and checking.
• Never use a damaged target plate. Risk of inaccurate measurement.
• Check the accuracy of the product before use and several times during use.
• Although the measuring tool complies with the strict requirements of the applicable directives, Hilti cannot entirely rule out the possibility of interference caused by powerful electromagnetic radiation, possibly leading to incorrect operation.

2.4 Careful handling and use of batteries

• Observe the special guidelines applicable to the transport, storage, and use of lithium-ion batteries.
• Do not expose batteries to high temperatures, direct sunlight, or fire.
• Do not disassemble, crush or incinerate batteries and do not subject them to temperatures over 80 °C (176 °F).
• Do not use or charge batteries that have suffered the mechanical impact, have been dropped from a height, or show signs of damage. In this case, always contact your Hilti Service.
• If the battery is too hot to touch it may be defective. Put the battery in a place where it is clearly visible and where there is no risk of fire, at an adequate distance from flammable materials. Allow the battery to cool down. If it is still too hot to touch after an hour, the battery is faulty. Contact Hilti Service.
