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 using a measuring tool 
may result in serious personal injury or 
incorrect measurement results.
Use safety equipment. Always wear 
eye protection. Safety equipment such 
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, 
hard hat, or hearing protection used 
for appropriate conditions will reduce 
personal injuries.
DO NOT use the laser enhancing 
glasses as safety goggles. The 
laser enhancing glasses are used for 
improved visualization of the laser 
beam, but they do not protect against 
laser radiation.
DO NOT use the laser enhancing 
glasses as sun glasses or in traffic. 
The laser enhancing glasses do not 
afford complete UV protection and 
reduce color perception.
DO NOT use any optical tools such 
as, but not limited to, telescopes 
or transits to view the laser beam. 
Serious eye injury could result. 
DO NOT stare directly at the laser 
beam or project the laser beam 
directly into the eyes of others. 
Serious eye injury could result.
Use caution when using measuring 
tools in the vicinity of electrical 
hazards.
Wear eye

cause respiratory tract, eye and skin 
irritation.
