Read manual before usage

In accordance with essential

requirements of the European

directive(s)

5 GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow all warnings and instructions

may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for

future reference. The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains operated (corded)

power tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool.

KRT706510 EN

5.1 Work area

▪ Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.

▪ Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of

flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or

fumes.

▪ Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause

you to lose control.

5.2 Electrical safety

▪ Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any

adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching

outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

▪ Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges

and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or

grounded.

▪ Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will

increase the risk of electric shock.

▪ Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power

tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled

cords increase the risk of electric shock.

▪ When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.

Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

▪ If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device

(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

5.3 Personal safety

▪ Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power

tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or

medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious

personal injury.

▪ Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask,

non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used whenever conditions require

will reduce personal injuries.

▪ Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in.

Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have

the switch on invites accidents.

▪ Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key

left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

▪ Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better

control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

▪ Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and

gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in

moving parts.

▪ If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure

these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust related

hazards.

5.4 Power tool use and care

▪ Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct

power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

▪ Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that

cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

KRT706510 EN

▪ Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing

accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of

starting the power tool accidentally.

▪ Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with

the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous

in the hands of untrained users.

▪ Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or sticking of moving parts, breakage of

parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have

the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained

power tools.

▪ Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting

edges are less likely to stick and are easier to control.

▪ Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions

and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the

working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations

different from intended could lead to a hazardous situation.

5.5 Service

▪ Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical

replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

6 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR LASERS

▪ Warning! The laser beam potentially causes severe eye damage. Never look or stare

directly into the laser beam.

▪ During use, do not point the laser beam at people, directly or indirectly through reflecting

surfaces.

▪ This laser complies with class 2 according to EN 60825-1:2001. The unit includes no

servicing components. Do not open the housing for any reason. If the unit is damaged,

have the damage repaired by an authorized repair agent.

▪ Do not use on surfaces such as sheet steel that have shiny, reflective surfaces. The

reflective surface could reflect the beam back at the operator.

7 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERIES

▪ When replacing batteries, always replace the complete set. Do not mix old batteries with

new ones.

▪ Prevent removed batteries from short circuiting.

▪ Do not store batteries where the temperature may rise above 50 °C, e.g. in a car which

has been parked in the sun.

▪ Do not burn batteries.

▪ Never attempt to open batteries.

▪ In case of battery leakage, carefully remove the liquid using a cloth. Avoid skin or eye

contact. Do not swallow. In case of skin or eye contact, rinse abundantly for 10 minutes

with clean water and consult a physician.

8.3 Attention points

▪ Don’t point this instrument to the sun or other intense light sources, as it will cause your

measurements erroneous or inaccurate.

▪ Don’t use the instrument in damp, dusty and other harsh environments. Long time

exposure to adverse environments will damage internal components of this laser

rangefinder or result in inaccurate measurements.

▪ When this instrument is brought from one environment to another environment whose

ambient temperature defers greatly from the previous one, it can be only when it has

roughly the same temperature with the ambient one.

▪ This instrument may have errors when measuring some light colored liquids, transparent

glass panes, polystyrene foams or low-density objects.

▪ The highly reflective surface of any object to be measured will skew the laser beam and

then result in an erroneous measurement.

▪ A highly luminous environment, in combination with a measurement surface of low

reflection effect will shorten the measuring range and reduce the measurement accuracy.

8.4 Inserting/Replacing the batteries

Alkali-manganese batteries are recommended for the measuring tool. To open the battery lid,

remove screws with screwdriver and insert the batteries. When inserting, pay attention to the

correct polarity according to the representation on the inside of the battery compartment.

8.5 Initial operation

▪ Protect the measuring tool against moisture and direct sun light.

▪ Do not subject the measuring tool to extreme temperatures or variations in temperature.

As an example, do not leave it in vehicles for longer periods. In case of large variations in

temperature, allow the measuring tool to adjust to the ambient temperature before putting

it into operation. In case of extreme temperatures or variations in temperature, the

accuracy of the measuring tool can be impaired.

▪ Avoid heavy impact to or falling down of the measuring tool. Damage to the measuring

tool can impair its accuracy. After heavy impact or shock, compare the laser lines with a

known horizontal or vertical reference line.
