Do not operate the equipment with protective covers removed. Operation
without the protective covers presents an electric shock hazard.
Use all practical safety precautions to prevent contact with energized parts of the
equipment and related circuits.
Use the recommended grounding and connection procedures. Make sure that the
equipment is grounded properly. Any interruption of the grounding connection
can create an electric shock hazard.
Refer to IEEE 510-1983 "IEEE Recommended Practices for Safety in High-
Voltage and High-Power Testing" for additional information.
Do not use the portable locator or its accessories with any device or for any
purpose other than as specifically described in this manual. Misuse of this
equipment can be extremely dangerous.
Never connect the portable locator to energized equipment.
Do not use in an explosive atmosphere.
The L1071 Portable Locator uses rechargeable batteries. Replace only with sealed
lead-acid batteries as specified in Section 3, Specifications. Danger of explosion
can result if the wrong batteries are used.
If the portable locator is operated in accordance with the safety precautions
described, and if all grounds are correctly made, rubber gloves are not necessary.
As a routine safety procedure, however, some users require that rubber gloves be
worn, not only when making connections to the high-voltage terminals but also
when manipulating controls. Megger considers this an excellent safety practice.
