GENERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS
WARNING: The warnings, cautions, and instructions
discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all
possible conditions or situations that could occur. It
must be understood by the operator that common
sense and caution are factors that cannot be built into
this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
WORK AREA
• Keep work area clean, free of clutter and well lit. Cluttered and dark work
areas can cause accidents.
• Do not use your meter where there is a risk of causing a fire or an
explosion; e.g. in the presence of flammable liquids, gasses, or dust. Power
tools create sparks, which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating this meter. Distractions
can cause you to lose control, so visitors should remain at a safe distance
from the work area.
• Be aware of all power lines, electrical circuits, water pipes and other
mechanical hazards in your work area, particularly those hazards below the
work surface hidden from the operator’s view that may be unintentionally
contacted and may cause personal harm or property damage.
• Be alert of your surroundings. Using tools in confined work areas may put
you in danger.

this meter. Do not use this meter while you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating this

jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts. Air vents often cover
moving parts and should be avoided.

with side shields which comply with current national standards, or when
needed, a face shield. This applies to all persons in the work area. Also use
non-skid safety shoes, hardhat, gloves, dust collection systems, and hearing
protection when appropriate.
