Safety Notes

All instructions must be read and observed
in order to work safely with the measuring
tool. The integrated protections in the
measuring tool may be compromised if the
measuring tool is not used in accordance
with the instructions provided. Never make warning signs
on the measuring tool unrecognisable. STORE THESE IN-
STRUCTIONS IN A SAFE PLACE AND INCLUDE THEM WITH
THE MEASURING TOOL WHEN GIVING IT TO A THIRD
PARTY.
 Caution – The use of other operating or adjusting
equipment or the application of other processing meth-
ods than those mentioned here can lead to dangerous
radiation exposure.
 The measuring tool is provided with a warning label
(marked with number 7 in the representation of the
measuring tool on the graphics page).
Laser Radiation Class 2
do not stare into beam
 If the text of the warning label is not in your national
language, stick the provided warning label in your na-
tional language over it before operating for the first
time.
Do not direct the laser beam at persons
or animals and do not stare into the di-
rect or reflected laser beam yourself, not
even from a distance. You could blind
somebody, cause accidents or damage
your eyes.
 If laser radiation strikes your eye, you must deliberate-
ly 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 visualisa-
tion 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 quali-
fied specialists using original spare parts. This ensures
that the safety of the measuring tool is maintained.
Bosch Power Tools
 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 environ-
ments, 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.
 Do not direct the light beam at persons or animals and
do not stare into the light beam yourself (not even from
a distance).
 Before any work on the measuring tool itself (e.g. as-
sembling, maintenance, etc.) as well as when trans-
porting and storing, remove the battery pack or the
batteries from the measuring tool. Danger of injury
when accidentally actuating the On/Off switch.
 Do not open the battery pack. Danger of short-circuiting.
Protect the battery pack against heat, e.g.,
against continuous intense sunlight, fire,
water, and moisture. Danger of explosion.
 When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from oth-
er metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws, or other small metal objects that can make a
connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
 Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery pack; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, addi-
tionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the bat-
tery pack may cause irritations or burns.
 In case of damage and improper use of the battery
pack, vapours may be emitted. Provide for fresh air and
seek medical help in case of complaints. The vapours
can irritate the respiratory system.
 Recharge only with the charger specified by the manu-
facturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery
pack may create a risk of fire when used with another bat-
tery pack.
 Use the battery only in conjunction with your Bosch
product. This measure alone protects the battery against
dangerous overload.
 Use only original Bosch battery packs with the voltage
listed on the nameplate of your measuring tool. When
using other battery packs, e.g. imitations, reconditioned
battery packs or other brands, there is danger of injury as
well as property damage through exploding battery packs.
 The battery pack can be damaged by pointed objects
such as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied exter-
nally. An internal short circuit can occur and the battery
pack can burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
 Caution! When using the measuring tool with
Bluetooth®, interference with other devices and sys-
tems, airplanes and medical devices (e.g., cardiac
pacemakers, hearing aids) may occur. Also, the possi-
bility of humans and animals in direct vicinity being
harmed cannot be completely excluded. Do not use the
measuring tool with Bluetooth® in the vicinity of medi-
cal devices, petrol stations, chemical plants, areas
