3.4 Tool Safety
The tool was designed to be used in specific
environmental conditions.
Using the tool in environments with temperature and
humidity values that differ from those specified may
impair its efficiency.
Safety measures:
•
Put the tool in a dry area.
•
Do not expose or use the tool near heat sources.
•
Put the tool where it can be properly ventilated.
•
Do not use corrosive chemicals, solvents or harsh detergents to clean the tool.
•
When not in use, always protect the connectors by closing them with the specific
protective caps.
The tool was designed to be mechanically sturdy and
suitable for use in the workshop.
Careless use and excessive mechanical strain may
impair its efficiency.
Safety measures:
•
Do not drop, shake or bump the tool.
•
Do not place the tool where it could fall into water. Avoid any contact with water.
•
Do not place objects over the cables nor bend them.

•
Do not force the connector protective caps.
•
Before closing the connector protective caps, make sure there are no foreign bodies
(e.g.: dirt) between the cap and the connector.
The tool was designed to be electrically safe and to work
with specific supply voltage levels.
Failure to comply with the specifications related to the
power supply may impair the tool's efficiency.
Safety measures:
•
Do not wet the tool with water or other liquids.
•
If not otherwise specified, use the device on vehicles with a 12/24 V DC power supply
and the chassis connected to the negative pole.
•
The connection for the tool's power supply should always take place with the battery
system of the vehicle being tested.
