Watch out for erroneous measurement results if the product has been dropped or has been misused, modified, stored for long periods or transported.
Precautions: Periodically carry out test measurements and perform the field adjustments indicated in the user manual, particularly after the product has been subjected to abnormal use
and before and after important measurements.
Because of the risk of electrocution, it is dangerous to use poles and extensions in the vicinity of electrical installations such as power cables or electrical railways.
Precautions: Keep at a safe distance from electrical installations. If it is essential to work in this
environment, first contact the safety authorities responsible for the electrical installations and follow their instructions.
With the remote control of products, it is possible that extraneous targets will be
picked out and measured.
Precautions: When measuring in remote control mode, always check your results for plausibility.
If the product is used with accessories, for example masts, staffs, poles, you may increase the risk of being struck by lightning.
Precautions: Do not use the product in a thunderstorm.
During dynamic applications, for example stakeout procedures there is a danger of accidents occurring if the user does not pay attention to the environmental conditions
around, for example obstacles, excavations or traffic.
Precautions: The person responsible for the product must make all users fully aware of the existing dangers.
Inadequate securing of the working site can lead to dangerous situations, for example in traffic, on building sites, and at industrial installations.
Precautions: Always ensure that the working site is adequately secured. Adhere to the regulations
governing safety and accident prevention and road traffic.
Be careful when pointing the product towards the sun, because the telescope functions as a magnifying glass and can injure your eyes and/or cause damage inside the product.
Precautions: Do not point the product directly at the sun.
If the accessories used with the product are not properly secured and the product is subjected to mechanical shock, for example blows or falling, the product may be
damaged or people can sustain injury.
Precautions: When setting-up the product, make sure that the accessories are correctly adapted,
fitted, secured, and locked in position. Avoid subjecting the product to mechanical stress.
During the transport, shipping or disposal of batteries it is possible for inappropriate mechanical influences to constitute a fire hazard.
Precautions: Before shipping the product or disposing of it, discharge the batteries by running the product until they are flat. When transporting or shipping batteries, the person in charge of the product must ensure that the applicable national and international rules and regulations are
observed. Before transportation or shipping contact your local passenger or freight transport company.
High mechanical stress, high ambient temperatures or immersion into fluids can cause leakage, fire or explosions of the batteries.
Precautions: Protect the batteries from mechanical influences and high ambient temperatures. Do not drop or immerse batteries into fluids.
If battery terminals are short circuited e.g. by coming in contact with jewellery, keys, metalized paper or other metals, the battery can overheat and cause injury or fire, for example by storing or transporting in pockets.
Precautions: Make sure that the battery terminals do not come into contact with metallic objects.
Installing near mechanically moving machine components may damage the product.
Precautions: Deflect the mechanically moving machine components as far as possible and define a safe installation zone.
Beware of inadequate steering if machine is defective like after a crash or other damaging events or alterations to the machine.
Precautions: Periodically perform control measurements and field adjustments on the machine as specified in the User Manual. While working, construction and grading should be checked by appropriate means, for example spirit level, tachymeter, before and after important measuring tasks.
While steering or navigating the machine accidents can occur due a) the operator not paying attention to the surroundings (persons, ditches, traffic, etc.), or b) malfunctions (… of a system component, interference, etc.).
Precautions The operator assures that the machine is operated, guided and monitored by a qualified user (e.g. driver). The user has to be able to take emergency measures, for example an emergency stop.
