General Safety Information
WARNING
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury!
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 at-
mospheres, 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 to avoid damage to
electronics.
• 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, alco-
hol, 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 unex-
pected situations.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hardhat, or hearing protection must be used for
appropriate conditions.
• Prevent object and liquid entry. Never spill liquid of any kind on the
CountPlus. 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.
