2 Safety
2.1 Safety instructions
In addition to the safety rules listed in the individual sections of these operating instructions, the
following rules must be strictly observed at all times.
2.1.1 Intended use
▶To reduce the risk of injury, use only genuine Hilti accessories and ancillary equipment.
Printed: 07.09.2015 | Doc-Nr: PUB / 5199480 / 000 / 02

11
▶Modification of the device 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.
▶Check the condition of the device before use. Do not use the device if it is damaged. If the device is
damaged, have it repaired at a Hilti Service Center.
2.1.2 Proper arrangement of the workplace
▶Avoid unfavorable body positions when working from ladders. Make sure you work from a safe
stance and stay in balance at all times.
▶Avoid unfavorable body positions when working from ladders. Make sure you work from a safe
stance and stay in balance at all times.
▶Use the device only within its specified limits.
▶Do not use the device where there is a risk of fire or explosion.
▶Make sure that the case is properly secured during transport and does not present a risk of injury.
2.1.3 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. Accuracy must be checked 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).
▶Operation of the device in the proximity of expectant mothers or persons with a cardiac pacemaker
is not permissible.
▶Never point the device toward yourself or toward the body of any other person nearby. Never operate
the device in conjunction with another antenna or other transmitter.
2.1.4 General safety rules
Mechanical safety rules
▶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. If damaged, have the device repaired before
use.
▶When the device is brought into a warm environment from very cold conditions, or vice-versa,
allow it to become acclimatized before use.
▶Although the device is protected against the entry of moisture, it should be wiped dry before being
put away in its transport container.
▶Have the device serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the device is maintained.
Electrical safety rules
▶Avoid short circuiting the battery terminals. Check that the contacts on the battery and the device
are free from foreign objects before inserting the battery. Short circuiting the battery terminals presents
a risk of fire, explosion and chemical burns.
▶Do not allow moisture to enter the battery. Moisture in the interior of the device may cause a short
circuit and chemical reactions resulting in burns to the skin or fire.
▶Make sure that the outer surfaces of the battery are clean and dry before inserting it in the charger.
Observe the operating instructions for the charger.
▶Remove the battery before transporting the device or before storing it for a long period of time. Inspect
the battery for any signs of leakage or damage before reinserting it.
▶To avoid pollution of the environment, the device and the batteries must be disposed of in
accordance with the currently applicable national regulations. Consult the manufacturer if you are
unsure of how to proceed.
▶For operation of the device and for charging batteries, use only the AI E30 charging adapter or other
chargers recommended by the manufacturer. There is otherwise a risk that the device may be damaged.
A charger that is suitable for a certain type of battery may present a risk of fire when used with other
types of battery.
Careful use of battery-powered devices
▶Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery. Avoid contact with the liquid. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. In the event of the liquid coming into contact with
Printed: 07.09.2015 | Doc-Nr: PUB / 5199480 / 000 / 02

12
the eyes, rinse the eyes with plenty of water and consult a doctor. Liquid leaking from the battery
may cause irritation or burns.
▶Do not disassemble, crush or incinerate batteries and do not subject them to temperatures over
75°C (167°F). This presents a risk of fire, explosion or injury through contact with caustic substances.
▶Do not expose batteries to high temperatures and keep them away from fire. There is a risk of
explosion.
▶Use only batteries of the type approved for use with the applicable device. Use of other batteries or
use of the batteries for purposes for which they are not intended presents a risk of fire and explosion.
▶Never use or attempt to charge damaged batteries (e.g. batteries with cracks, broken parts, bent or
pushed-in / pulled-out contacts).
▶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. Short-circuiting the contacts on a battery or charger may cause burning injuries or start a fire.
Requirements to be met by users
▶Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating the device. Do not
use the device while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating the device may result in serious personal injury.
▶Make sure that the grip unit is securely engaged.
▶Observe all warnings and instructions displayed by the scanner.
Transport
▶Observe the special guidelines applicable to the transport, storage and use of Li-ion batteries.
