2.1 Safety precautions

In addition to the information relevant to safety provided in the individual sections of these operating instructions and the information provided in the operating instructions of whichever type of rotating laser is being used, the following instructions must also be strictly observed at all times. General safety instructions Do not render safety devices ineffective and do not remove information and warning notices. Proper preparation of the working area ▶ Secure the site in which you are taking measurements and take care to avoid directing the beam towards other persons or towards yourself when setting up the appliance. ▶ When performing alignment work on ladders, avoid postures to which you are unaccustomed. Make sure you work from a safe stance and stay in balance at all times. ▶ Ensure that the tool is set up on a stable, level surface (not subject to vibration). ▶ Use the tool only within its specified limits.

Take care to ensure that no parts of the body are located under the tripod when the tripod is set up or in operation. ▶ Do not use the tripod as a hoist or lifting aid. ▶ Keep children away. Keep other persons away from the working area. ▶ When setting up the tripod in enclosed spaces (indoor rooms), check the suitability of the floor on which it stands, as the tripod could gouge scratches into the floor. Electromagnetic compatibility ▶ Although the device complies with the strict requirements of the applicable directives, Hilti cannot entirely rule out the possibility of interference to the device caused by powerful electromagnetic radiation, possibly leading to incorrect operation. Check the accuracy of the tool by taking measurements by other means when working under such conditions or if you are unsure. Likewise, Hilti cannot rule out the possibility of interference with other devices (e.g. aircraft navigation equipment). General safety measures ▶ Check the condition of the device before use. If the device is found to be damaged, have it repaired at a Hilti Service Center. ▶ Always keep the PRA 90 threaded rod free from objects of any kind, including parts of the body or dirt. ▶ Do not put your fingers or other parts of the body into the tubes of the tripod legs or other points at which injuries may be caused. ▶ Although the appliance is designed for use on job sites under tough conditions, it should be handled with care, in the same way as other electrical appliances. ▶ Although the device is protected to prevent entry of dampness, it should be wiped dry each time before being put away in its transport container. ▶ Only use the AC adapter for connecting to the power supply. ▶ Ensure that the appliance and AC adapter do not present an obstacle that could lead to a risk of tripping or personal injury. ▶ Ensure that the workplace is well lit. ▶ Check extension cords at regular intervals and replace them if found to be damaged. Do not touch the AC adapter if the extension cord or AC adapter are damaged while working. Disconnect the supply cord plug from the power outlet. Damaged supply cords or extension cords present a risk of electric shock. ▶ Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, cookers, stoves and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded. ▶ Do not expose the supply cord to heat, oil or sharp edges.*2015596* 2015596 English 13 ▶ Never operate the AC adapter when it is dirty or wet. Dust (especially dust from conductive materials) or dampness adhering to the surface of the AC adapter may, under unfavorable conditions, lead to electric shock. Dirty or dusty tools or appliances should thus be checked by Hilti Service at regular intervals, especially if used frequently for working on conductive materials. ▶ Avoid touching the contacts. ▶ Use the carry strap supplied with the tripod to make it easier to carry the PRA 90. When transporting the PRA 90, take care not to allow the tripod to cause injury either to yourself or to other persons. Particular care should be taken in checking the position of the points at the ends of the legs during transportation. ▶ When you are finished using the PRA 90, always make sure that the threaded column is fully wound down before the tripod legs are folded together. Use and care of battery-powered tools ▶ Use only batteries of the type approved for use with the applicable tool. Use of other batteries or use of the batteries for purposes for which they are not intended presents a risk of fire and explosion. ▶ Do not expose batteries to high temperatures and keep them away from fire. There is a risk of explosion. ▶ Do not disassemble, squash or incinerate batteries and do not subject them to temperatures over 80 °C (176 °F). This presents a risk of fire, explosion or injury through contact with caustic substances. ▶ Do not allow moisture to enter the battery. Moisture in the interior of the device may cause a short circuit and chemical reactions resulting in burns to the skin or fire. ▶ Observe the special guidelines applicable to the transport, storage and use of Li-ion batteries. ▶ Avoid short circuiting the battery terminals. Check that the battery terminals and the terminals in the power tool are free from foreign objects before inserting the battery in the tool. Short circuiting the battery terminals presents a risk of fire, explosion and chemical burns. ▶ Never continue to use or attempt to charge damaged batteries, e.g. batteries with cracks, broken parts, bent or pushed-in / pulled-out contacts). ▶ Only use the AC adapter PRA 85 or the motor vehicle power adapter PRA 86.for operating the appliance and charging the battery. The appliance may otherwise be damaged. 3 Description

The product described is an automatic tripod onto which a rotating laser can be fitted. The tripod can be moved in height using the control panel or a remote control unit. Using the tripod and the rotating laser fitted to it, a horizontal laser plane can be established which is directed onto a particular target height, meter marks can be transmitted and horizontal heights aligned and checked. ▶ Use only the Hilti PRA 84 Li-ion battery for this product. ▶ For these batteries, use only the Hilti PRA 85 AC adapter. The tripod can be operated in two different ways: by means of the control panel directly on the tripod, or with a Hilti laser receiver/remote control unit (in combination with a Hilti rotating laser for automatic alignment and monitoring).14 English 2015596 *2015596* Compatible laser receivers/remote control units:

3.3 Automatic alignment

The tripod can be automatically aligned with the HiltiPR 30HVS A12, PR 30HVSG A12 or the PR 300HV2S rotating laser. These rotating lasers are specifically matched to the PRA 90 and support three-device communication between tripod, rotating laser and associated laser receiver/remote control unit. Using these three components together, a laser plane can be aligned onto a precise point automatically. Only the target height has to be indicated with the laser receiver/remote control unit and the PRA 90 moves the laser plane of the rotating laser exactly to this height. Automatic alignment is not possible when other rotating lasers are used.
