1.2 Safety

The tester is used for voltage detecting. It must be used by skilled personnel only.

Before using the tester, read the manual and follow its safety guidelines. Protection measures
used in the tester may be ineffective, if not applied in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.

Before using the tester, check if its operational by testing it on a known AC voltage (i.e. next appli-
cable socket with live voltages).

The type and thickness of the insulation, distance from the power source, shielded cables and
other factors may affect the operation of the tester. If you are unsure about the test result, check
the presence of voltage in a different way.

Do not use the tester:
o
to test the absence of voltages,
o
if it is damaged or not working properly. If in doubt, replace it with another,
o
for voltages higher than the upper measuring range indicated on the housing.

Be careful when working with voltages above 30 V AC - there is a risk of electric shock.

Comply with all applicable safety regulations. When working near live circuits (especially in places
where an electric arc may be generated), use personal protective equipment.

Do not operate the tester, when there is a warning of low battery level. Immediately replace the
batteries with new ones.

Inoperative flashlight may indicate damage to the device or discharged batteries.

When the device is turned ON, the battery compartment must be closed.

Looking directly into the LED lamp may damage your eyes.

Dirt and moisture of the device may generate a risk of electrical shock.
NOTE!

Unauthorized persons are not allowed to disassemble the device.

Disassembling and repairs of the device must be done by skilled persons only.
