Frequently Asked Questions - QUIGO BOSCH

How do I insert batteries into the BOSCH QUIGO laser level?

Open the battery compartment on the device. Insert two AAA alkaline batteries respecting the indicated polarity. Close the cover. See Figure 1 of the manual for more details.

Can I use the BOSCH QUIGO outdoors?

The device is designed exclusively for indoor use. The range may be reduced outdoors, especially under direct sunlight. Avoid moisture and direct sunlight.

What should I do if the laser line is not horizontal or vertical?

Check that the device is within the self-leveling range (±4°). If not, adjust it. After a shock, compare the line with a known reference. If the problem persists, contact customer service.

How do I clean the BOSCH QUIGO laser level?

Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the device. Never immerse the device in water or other liquids. Do not use detergents or solvents. Regularly clean the surfaces near the laser outlet.

What does laser class 2 mean?

Laser class 2 according to IEC 60825-1 means that the beam is visible and the power is less than 1 mW. Never look directly into the beam and do not direct it at people or animals.

How do I mount the BOSCH QUIGO on a tripod?

The device has a tripod mount. Fasten it securely on the tripod using the screw. Use the included mount for wall mounting if necessary. See Figure 5 of the manual.

Does the device turn off automatically?

The manual does not mention automatic shutdown. It is recommended to turn off the device after use and during transport to avoid battery discharge and to prevent dazzling others.

How do I check the accuracy of the device?

After a shock or drop, compare the projected line with a known vertical or horizontal reference line. You can use a spirit level or plumb line. If the deviation is significant, contact customer service.

Can I use the device in an explosive atmosphere?

No, the device produces sparks and must not be used in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Risk of explosion.

How do I contact BOSCH after-sales service in France?

Working safely with the measuring tool 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 measuring tool unrecognisable. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

• Caution - The use of other operating or adjusting equipment or the application of other processing methods than those mentioned here, can lead to dangerous radiation exposure. The measuring tool is provided with a warning label in German (location, see "Symbols", page 10).

Laser Radiation Class 2 - do not stare into beam

IEC 60825-1:2007-03 <1mW, 635nm

Before putting into operation for the first time, attach the supplied sticker in your national language over the German text on the warning label. Do not direct the laser beam at persons or animals and do not stare into the laser beam yourself. This measuring tool produces laser class 2 laser radiation according to IEC 60825-1. This can lead to persons being blinded. - Do not use the laser viewing glasses as safety goggles. The laser viewing glasses are used for improved visualisation 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 qualified specialists using original spare parts. This ensures that the safety of the measuring tool is maintained. Do not allow children to use the laser measuring tool without supervision. They could unintentionally blind other persons or themselves. - Do not operate the measuring tool in explosive environments, 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.

Additional Safety and Working Instructions

Alkali-manganese batteries are recommended for the measuring tool. Remove the batteries from the measuring tool when not using it for extended periods. When storing for extended periods, the batteries can corrode and discharge themselves. 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 line with a known horizontal or vertical reference line. When switching on the measuring tool, do not direct the laser beam at persons or animals and do not stare into the laser beam yourself. Immediately after switching on, the measuring tool sends laser beams out of the exit opening. Switch the measuring tool off during transport. When switching off, the levelling unit, which can be damaged in case of intense movement, is locked. Do not leave the switched on measuring tool unattended and switch the measuring tool off after use. Other persons could be blinded by the laser beam. Always use the centre of the laser line for marking. The width of the laser line changes with the distance. In case of ground vibrations or position changes during operation, the measuring tool is automatically levelled in again. To avoid errors, check the position of the horizontal and vertical laser line with regard to the reference points upon re-levelling.
