General Safety Information
WARNING
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to
follow all instructions listed below may result
in electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal
injury!
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work Area Safety
•
Keep your work area clean and well
lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas
may cause accidents.
•
Do not operate electrical devices or
power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids,
gases, or heavy dust. Electrical
devices or power tools create sparks,
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
•
Keep bystanders, children, and
visitors away while operating tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
Electrical Safety
•
Do not operate the system with
electrical components removed.
Exposure to internal parts increases the
risk of injury.
•
Avoid exposure to rain or wet
conditions. Keep battery out of direct
contact with water. Water entering
electrical devices increases the risk of
electric shock.
•
Do not probe high voltage lines.
Battery Precautions
•
Use only the size and type of battery
specified. Do not mix cell types (e.g.
do not use alkaline with
rechargeable). Do not use partly
discharged and fully charged cells
together (e.g. do not mix old and new).
•
Recharge batteries with charging
units specified by the battery
manufacturer. Using an improper
charger can overheat and rupture the
battery.
•
Properly dispose of the batteries.
Exposure to high temperatures can
cause the battery to explode, so do not
dispose of in a fire. Some countries
have regulations concerning battery
disposal. Please follow all applicable
regulations.
Personal Safety
•
Stay alert, watch what you are doing,
and use common sense. Do not use
diagnostic tools while tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medications. A moment of inattention
while operating diagnostic instruments
may result in serious personal injury.
•
Gloves should always be worn for
health and safety reasons. Sewer
lines are unsanitary and may contain
harmful bacteria and viruses.
•
Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing and balance enables
better control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
•
Use safety equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hardhat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate
conditions.
•
Use proper accessories. Do not place
this product on any unstable cart or
surface. The product may fall causing
serious injury to a child or adult or
serious damage to the product.
•
Prevent object and liquid entry.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the
product. Liquid increases the risk of
electrical shock and damage to the
product.
•
Avoid Traffic. Pay close attention to
moving vehicles when using on or
near roadways. Wear visible clothing
or reflector vests. Such precautions
may prevent serious injury.
