1. Safety Instructions

IMPORTANT: To prevent electric shock, fire and/or personal injury or damage, read this user’s manual first and observe the following safety instructions.

1.1 Work Area Safety

 Always perform automotive testing in a safe environment.  Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and

dark areas may cause accidents.

 Keep clothing, hair, hands, tools, test equipment, etc. away from

all moving or hot engine parts.

 Operate the tool in a well-ventilated work area.  Do not operate the tool in explosive atmospheres, such as in the

presence of flammable liquids, gases, or heavy dust.

 Keep a fire extinguisher suitable for gasoline/chemical/electrical

fires nearby.

 Do not use the tool around corrosive chemicals which can ruin

the photo quality.

 Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating the

tool.

 Keep the tools dry, clean, free from oil, water and grease. Use a

mild detergent on a clean cloth to clean the outside of the tool when necessary.

1.2 Electrical Safety

 Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as

pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.

 Do not expose the tool to rain or wet conditions. Water entering

the tool will increase the risk of electric risk.

 Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling,

or unplugging the tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.

 If operating the tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a

ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) to protect supply.

1.3 Personal Safety

 Do not use the tool while tired or under the influence of drugs,

alcohol, or medications. A moment of interruption can result in serious personal injury.

 Do not over-reach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

 Always wear safety eye protection that meets ANSI standards.  Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing,

and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

 Do not place the tool on any unstable cart or surface. The tool

may fall causing serious injury to a person or serious damage to the tool itself.

 Never spill liquid on the display units. Liquid increases the risk

of electric shock and damage to the tool.

 Do not use the tool for personal or medical use in any way.  The product is not shock-resistant. Do not use it as a hammer or

drop it.
