Safety Instructions
All instructions must be read and ob-
served in order for the measuring
tool to function safely. The safe-
guards integrated into the measur-
ing tool may be compromised if the measuring
tool is not used in accordance with these in-
structions. Never make warning signs on the
measuring tool unrecognisable. SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE AND
INCLUDE THEM WITH THE MEASURING TOOL
WHEN TRANSFERRING IT TO A THIRD PARTY.
uWarning! If operating or adjustment devices
other than those specified here are used or
other procedures are carried out, this can
lead to dangerous exposure to radiation.
uThe measuring tool is delivered with a laser
warning sign (marked in the illustration of
the measuring tool on the graphics page).
uIf the text of the laser warning label is not in
your national language, stick the provided
warning label in your national language over
it before operating for the first time.

Do not direct the laser beam at per-
sons or animals and do not stare into
the direct or reflected laser beam
yourself. You could blind somebody,
cause accidents or damage your eyes.
uIf laser radiation hits your eye, you must
close your eyes and immediately turn your
head away from the beam.
uDo not make any modifications to the laser
equipment.
uDo not use the laser goggles as protective
goggles. The laser goggles make the laser beam
easier to see; they do not protect you against
laser radiation.
uDo not use the laser goggles as sunglasses or
while driving. The laser goggles do not provide
full UV protection and impair your ability to see
colours.
uHave the measuring tool serviced only by a
qualified specialist using only original re-
placement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the measuring tool is maintained.
uDo not let children use the laser measuring
tool unsupervised. They could accidentally
dazzle someone.
uDo not use the measuring tool in explosive
atmospheres which contain flammable li-

quids, gases or dust. Sparks may be produced
inside the measuring tool, which can ignite dust
or fumes.

Sound setting ●
A) For measurements from the front edge of the meas-
uring tool, this applies for high reflectivity of the tar-
get (e.g. a white-painted wall), weak backlighting
and 25°C operating temperature. In addition, a devi-
ation of ±0.05mm/m must be taken into account.
B) For measurements from the rear edge of the measur-
ing tool, applies to low reflectivity of the target (e.g.
a dark-painted wall), strong backlighting and –10 °C
to +45 °C operating temperature. In addition, a devi-
ation of ±0.15 mm/m must be taken into account.
C) After user calibration at 0° and 90°; an additional
pitch error of ±0.01° up to 45° (max.) must be taken
into account. The left-hand side of the measuring
tool serves as the reference level for inclination
measurement.
D) At an operating temperature of 25 °C
E) The left-hand side of the measuring tool serves as
the reference level for grade measurement.
F) In continuous measurement mode, the max. operat-
ing temperature is +40 °C.
G) Only non-conductive deposits occur, whereby occa-
sional temporary conductivity caused by condensa-
tion is expected.
H) Except battery compartment
The serial number (11) on the type plate is used to clearly
identify your measuring tool.

Assembly
Inserting/changing the batteries
It is recommended that you use alkaline man-
ganese or rechargeable batteries to operate the
measuring tool.
With 1.2 V batteries fewer measurements may be
possible than with 1.5 V batteries.
Press the locking mechanism (10) to open the bat-
tery compartment cover (9) and remove the bat-
tery compartment cover. Insert the batteries.
When inserting the batteries, ensure that the po-
larity is correct according to the illustration on the
inside of the battery compartment.
When the empty battery symbol first appears on
the display, approx. 100 measurements are still
possible. When the battery symbol is empty and
flashes red, no further measurements are pos-
sible. Replace the batteries.
Always replace all the batteries at the same time.
Only use batteries from the same manufacturer
and which have the same capacity.
uTake the batteries out of the measuring tool
when you are not using it for a prolonged
period of time. The batteries can corrode and
self-discharge during prolonged storage.
