5.1 Basic information concerning safety

a) Do not render safety devices ineffective and do
not remove information and warning notices.
b) Keep laser tools out of reach of children.

Hilti service center.
d) Modification of the tool is not permissible.
e) Check that the tool functions correctly each time
before use.
f) Measurements taken from surfaces with low reflec-
tivity in highly reflective surroundings may be inac-
curate.
g) Measurements taken through panes of glass or other
objects may be inaccurate.
h) Rapid changes in the conditions under which the
measurement is taken, e.g. persons walking through
the laser beam, may lead to inaccurate results.
i) Do not point the tool toward the sun or other
powerful light sources.
j) Take the influences of the surrounding area into

from ladders. Make sure you work from a safe
stance and stay in balance at all times.
b) When the tool is brought into a warm environment
from very cold conditions, or vice-versa, allow it
to become acclimatized before use.
c) As a precaution, check the previous settings and
adjustments you have made.
d) Secure the area in which you are working and
take care to avoid directing the beam towards
other persons or towards yourself when setting

5.3 Electromagnetic compatibility

NOTE
Only for Korea: This device is suitable for the commer-
cial and industrial field and the electromagnetic radiation
encountered in this field (Class A). Users must pay atten-
tion to this point and not use this device in a residential
environment.
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 incor-
rect 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). The tool complies with the
requirements of class A; The possibility of interference
occurring in a domestic environment cannot be excluded.

release toxic substances.
This may cause them to overheat and present a risk
of personal injury (burns).
Do not attempt to open the batteries and do not
subject them to excessive mechanical stress.
