General Safety Information

WARNING
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to fol-
low all instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury!
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Keep this manual with the machine for use by the operator. The
CE declaration of conformity (890-011-320) will accompany this
manual as a separate booklet when required.
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 compo-
nents removed. Exposure to internal parts increases
the risk of injury.
Avoid exposure to rain or wet conditions. Keep bat-
tery 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 re-
chargeable). 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 regula-
tions concerning battery disposal. Please follow all ap-
plicable regulations.
Personal Safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use com-
mon sense. Do not use diagnostic tools while tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medications. A
moment of inattention while operating diagnostic in-
struments 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 caus-
ing 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 cloth-
ing or reflector vests. Such precautions may prevent
serious injury.
