General Safety Rules

!LASER RADIATION. AVOID DIRECT EYE DANGER EXPOSURE. DO NOT stare into the laser light

source. Never aim light at another person or object other than the workpiece. Laser light can damage your eyes.

Safety Rules for Rangefinder

Working safely with the rangefinder is possible only when the operating and safety information are read completely and the instructions contained therein are strictly followed. Never make warning labels on the rangefinder unrecognizable.

Never aim the beam at a workpiece with a reflective surface. Bright shiny reflective sheet steel or similar reflective surfaces are not recommended for laser use. Reflective surfaces could direct the beam back toward the operator.

Take care to recognize the accuracy and range of the device. Measurement may not be accurate if used beyond the rated range of the device.

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

The use of optical instruments with this product will increase eye hazards.

Have the rangefinder repaired only through qualified specialists using original spare parts. This ensures that the safety of the rangefinder is maintained.

Do not allow children to use the laser rangefinder without supervision. They

could unintentionally blind other persons.

Do not point the laser beam at persons or animals and do not look into the laser beam yourself, not even from a large distance.

Do not use the laser viewing glasses as safety goggles. The laser viewing glasses are used for improved visualization 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 color perception.
