2. Description
The PMP 34 is a self-leveling point laser which can be used by one person working alone to plumb, level, align and transfer right angles very quickly and with great accuracy. The tool incorporates 4 coincident laser beams (beams that originate from the same point). All the beams have the same range (30 m*). *The range depends on the ambient light conditions. Features: High horizontal and plumb beam accuracy ( 3 mm at 10 m). Self leveling in all planes within 5. Short self-leveling time: ~ 3 seconds. Out of level warning signal when the self-leveling range is exceeded (the laser beams blink). Rugged, impact-resistant plastic casing. Compact and light easy to use and carry with you. Automatic cut-out: The tool switches itself off automatically after 15 minutes. Continuous operating mode may be selected if desired. Easy to operate. 2.1 Items supplied with the point laser (cardboard box version) 1 PMP 34 point laser 1 soft pouch 4 batteries 1 operating instructions 1 PMA 73 drywall adaptor 2 target plates 1 manufacturers certificate 2.2 Items supplied with the point laser (Hilti toolbox version) 1 PMP 34 point laser 1 soft pouch 4 batteries 1 operating instructions 1 PMA 73 drywall mount 1 PMA 71 wall bracket 1 PA 250 frame clamp 1 PMA 74 magnetic bracket 2 target plates 1 manufacturers certificate

5. Safety precautions

5.1 Basic information concerning safety In addition to the information relevant to safety given in each of the sections of these operating instructions, the following points must be strictly observed at all times. 5.2 Correct use of the tool The tool is designed for predominantly indoor use for determining and checking differences in the height of points in the horizontal plane, vertical lines, alignment and for marking plumb points. When used for outdoor applications, care must be taken to ensure that the conditions under which the tool is used correspond to the conditions encountered indoors. Examples of applications: Transferring datum marks and height marks. Marking out the position of partitions (at right angles and in the vertical plane). Aligning equipment/installations and other structural elements in three axes. Checking and transferring right angles. Transferring points marked on the floor to the ceiling. 5.3 Misuse of the tool

Do not use the tool unless its accuracy has been previously checked. The tool and its ancillary equipment may present hazards when used incorrectly by untrained personnel or when used not as directed. Do not open the casing of the tool. To avoid the risk of injury, use only original Hilti accessories and additional equipment. Modification of the tool is not permissible. Observe the information printed in the operating instructions concerning operation, care and maintenance. Do not render safety devices ineffective and do not remove information and warning notices. Keep laser tools out of reach of children.

Have the tool repaired only at a Hilti service center. Failure to follow the correct procedures when opening the tool may cause emission of laser radiation in excess of class 2. Do not expose the tool to rain or snow and do not use it in damp or wet environments or where there may be a risk of explosion.
Laser warning plate based on IEC825/EN 6082501:2003:
Laser warning plate for the USA based on CFR (FDA):
5.4 Proper organization of the workplace
Secure the area in which you are working and take care to avoid directing the beam toward other persons or toward yourself while setting up the tool. Avoid unfavorable body positions when working on ladders or scaffolding. Make sure you work from a safe stance and stay in balance at all times. Measurements taken through panes of glass or other objects may be inaccurate. Ensure that the tool is set up on a solid, level surface. Ensure that the tool is set up on a steady surface not exposed to vibration. Use the tool only within the specified limits of the application for which it is intended (see Section 5.2).
This laser product complies with CFR (FDA) as applicable. 5.5 General safety precautions Check the tool for possible damage or dirt before use. If the tool is found to be damaged, have it repaired at a Hilti service center. The accuracy of the tool must be checked after it has been dropped or subjected to other mechanical stresses. When the tool is brought into a warm environment from very cold conditions, or vice-versa, allow it to become acclimatized before use. If mounting on an adaptor, ensure that the tool is attached securely. Keep the laser exit aperture clean to avoid measurement errors. Although the tool is designed for the tough conditions of jobsite use, as with other optical instruments (binoculars, spectacles, cameras) it should be treated with care. Although the tool is protected to prevent entry of dampness, it should be wiped dry each time before being put away in its Hilti toolbox.
5.4.1 Electromagnetic compatibility Although the tool complies with the strict requirements of the relevant directives, Hilti cannot entirely rule out the following possibilities: The tool may cause interference to other equipment (e.g. aircraft navigation equipment, medical instruments or devices). The tool may be subject to interference caused by powerful radiation, which may lead 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. 5.4.2 Laser classification The tool conforms to laser class 2 based on the IEC825-1/EN60825-standard and class II based on CFR (FDA). The eyelid closure reflex protects the eyes when a person looks into the beam unintentionally for a brief moment. Nevertheless, the eyelid closure reflex may be negatively affected by medicines, alcohol or drugs. This tool may be used without need for further protective measures. Nevertheless, as with the sun, one should not look directly into sources of bright light. Do not direct the laser beam toward persons.

5.5.1 Electrical hazards The batteries must be insulated or removed from the tool before it is shipped. The tool and the batteries must be disposed of in accordance with national regulations in order to avoid environmental pollution. Consult the manufacturer if you are unsure.

8. Checks

8.1 Checking the vertical (plumb) beam 1. Make a mark on the floor (a cross) in a high room (e.g. in a stairwell or hallway with a height of 510 m). 2. Place the tool on a level surface (floor). 3. Switch on the vertical beam. 4. Position the tool with the lower beam on the center of the cross. 5. Mark the position of the vertical beam on the ceiling (attach a piece of paper to the ceiling). 6. Pivot the tool through 90. The reference beam must remain on the center of the cross. 7. Mark the position of the vertical beam on the ceiling. 8. Repeat the procedure after pivoting the tool through 180 and 270. -NOTEThe resulting 4 marks define a circle in which the intersection of the diagonals d1 (1 3) and d2 (2 4) marks the exact center of the plumb point. Calculation of accuracy Result= Result= 10 @(d1 + d2) [mm] (1) or Room height [m] @(d1 + d2) [inch] (2) Room height [ft] 4 8.2 Checking the front beam and/or perpendicular beam for height deviation 1. Place the tool on a smooth, horizontal surface approx. 20 cm from the wall (A) with the laser beam directed toward the wall (A). 2. Mark the position of the center (1) of the laser beam on the wall (A) with a cross. 3. Pivot the tool through 180 and mark the center of the laser beam (2) on the opposite wall (B) with a cross. 4. Place the tool on a smooth, horizontal surface approx. 20 cm from the wall (B) with the laser beam directed toward the wall (B). 5. Mark the position of the center (3) of the laser beam on the wall (B) with a cross. 6. Pivot the tool through 180 and mark the center of the laser beam (4) on the opposite wall (A) with a cross. Calculation of accuracy 1. Measure the distances d1 between 1 and 4 and d2 between 2 and 3. 2. Mark the mid points of d1 and d2. If the reference points 1 and 3 are located on different sides of the mid point (see example), then subtract d2 from d1. If the reference points 1 and 3 are located on the same side of the mid point, then add d1 and d2 together. 3. Divide the result by twice the length of the room (room length x 2).
The result provided by this formula refers to the tool's accuracy in mm at 10 m (formula (1)). This result should be within the specification for the tool (3 mm at 10 m). 6

Seite 7

The maximum permissible error is 3 mm at 10 m. Example: d1 = 6 mm/d2 = 4 mm/room length (D) = 10 m. Points 1 and 3 are on different sides of the exact horizontal. 6 mm4 mm 10 x 2 = 2 mm = 1 mm/10 m 20 m
8.3 Checking the angle between the front beam and the perpendicular beam 1. Place the tool on a smooth, horizontal surface at the edge of a room with a length of at least 10 m and width of at least 5 m. 2. Switch on all four beams. 3. Fix a target plate (#1) at a distance of at least 10 m from the tool so that the front beam strikes exactly the center of the target plate. 4. Using a second target plate, mark a reference cross on the floor at a distance of 5 m (measure the distance) from the first target plate. The beam must strike the second target plate exactly in the center (cross-hairs). 5. Fix a target plate (#2) at a distance of 5 m from the reference cross so that the front beam strikes exactly the center of the target plate.
6. Now position the tool with the lower plumb beam exactly on the center of the reference cross so that the front beam strikes exactly the center of target plate 1. The tool is exactly 5 meters from the two fixed target plates. 7. Mark the position (d1) of the perpendicular beam with a target plate at a distance of 5 m (fix the target plate in position). 8. Pivot the tool to the right through 90. The lower plumb beam must remain in the center of the reference cross. The perpendicular beam must strike target plate 2 exactly in the center (cross-hairs). 9. Mark the position (d2) of the front beam on the target plate which is still fixed at a distance of 5 meters. -NOTEThe horizontal distance between d1 and d2 must be no greater than 3 mm at a working distance of 5 m. 8.3.1 Calculation of accuracy (g) at a working distance other than 5 m g = (3 mm x working distance (m))/5 m. In this case, the horizontal distance between d1 and d2 must not exceed the value (g) at the defined working distance (m).
