Safety advisory

Please read before using your instrument.

Warning

Improper use of your ultrasonic detector may result in death or serious injury. Observe all
safety precautions. Do not attempt to make any repairs or adjustments while the equipment
is operating. Be sure to turn off and LOCK OUT all electrical and mechanical sources before
performing any corrective maintenance. Always refer to local guidelines for appropriate
lockout and maintenance procedures.

SAFETY PRECAUTION: Although your ultrasonic instrument is intended to be used while equipment is
operating, the close proximity of hot piping, electrical equipment and rotating parts are all potentially
hazardous to the user. Be sure to use extreme caution when using your instrument around energized
equipment. Avoid direct contact with hot pipes or parts, any moving parts or electrical connections. Do not
attempt to check findings by touching the equipment with your hands or fingers. Be sure to use appropriate
lockout procedures when attempting repairs.

Be careful with loose hanging parts such as the wrist strap or headphone cord when inspecting near

moving mechanical devices since they may get caught. Don't touch moving parts with the contact probe.

This may not only damage the part, but cause personal injury as well.

When inspecting electrical equipment, use caution. High voltage equipment can cause death or severe
injury. Do not touch live electrical equipment with your instrument. Use the rubber focusing probe with the
scanning module. Consult with your safety director before entering the area and follow all safety
procedures. In high voltage areas, keep the instrument close to your body by keeping your elbows bent.
Use recommended protective clothing. Do not get close to equipment. Your detector will locate problems at
a distance.

When working around high temperature piping, use caution. Use protective clothing and do not attempt to

touch any piping or equipment while it is hot. Consult with your safety director before entering the area.
