Safety Information

Some adjustments described in the manual, are made with power supplied to 
the instrument, and protective covers removed. Energy available at many 
points may, if contacted, result in personal injury. 

Any adjustment, maintenance, and repair of the opened instrument under 
voltage should be avoided as much as possible. When inevitable, this should be 
carried out by a skilled person who is aware of the hazard involved. Do not 
attempt internal service or adjustment unless another person, capable of 
rendering first aid and resuscitation, is present. Do not replace components 
with power cable connected.

Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gases or fumes. 
Operation of any electrical instrument in such an environment constitutes a 
definite safety hazard.

Do not install substitute parts or make any unauthorized modification to the 
instrument.

Capacitors inside the instrument may still be charged, even though the 
instrument has been disconnected from its source of supply. Dangerous 
voltages, capable of causing serious personal injury, are present in this 
instrument. Use extreme caution when handling, testing and adjusting.

Safety Symbols

Table 8

 shows safety symbols used on the instrument and in the manuals.

Table 8
