Safety Notes
Surface laser
Working safely with the measuring tool is
possible only when the operating and safety
information are read completely and the in-
structions contained therein are strictly fol-
lowed. Never make warning labels on the
measuring tool unrecognisable. SAVE
THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
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 two warning labels
in English (each marked with number 2 in the represen-
tation of the measuring tool on the graphics page).
Do not direct the laser beam at persons or animals and
do not look into the laser beam yourself. This measuring
tool generates laser radiation from class 3R according to
IEC 60825-1. Looking directly into the laser beam – even
from a greater distance cause damages to the eyes.
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.
Avoid reflection of the laser beam on smooth surfaces
such as windows or mirrors. A reflected laser beam can
also cause damage to the eye.
The measuring tool should be operated only by persons
that are familiar with the handling of laser devices. Ac-
cording to EN 60825-1, this includes, among other things,
the knowledge about the biological effects of the laser to
the eyes and the skin as well as the correct usage of laser
protection devices in order to avoid dangers.
1 618 C00 60E | (16.2.12)
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.
Always set up the measuring tool in such a manner that
the laser beams run far above or below eye level. This
ensures that damage to the eyes will not occur.
Mark the area in which the measuring tool is being used
with suitable laser warning labels. This prevents persons
not involved from accessing the danger area.
Do not store the measuring tool at locations, to which
unauthorised persons have access. Persons not familiar
with the operation of the measuring tool can cause harm to
themselves and to others.
When using a class 3R measuring tool, observe possi-
ble national regulations. Non-observance of these regu-
lations can lead to injury.
Make sure that the area of laser radiation is monitored
or shielded. The limitation of laser radiation to controlled
areas prevents eye damage to persons not involved.
Before any work on the measuring tool itself (e.g.
assembling, 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
other 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 pack only in conjunction with your
Bosch measuring tool. This measure alone protects the
battery pack 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.
