2. Меры бяспекі і папярэджанні

To prevent personal injury or damage to vehicles and/or the tool, read this user manual carefully and observe the following safety precautions at a minimum whenever working on a vehicle:

• Ніколі не выкарыстоўвайце гэты інструмент для іншых прыкладанняў, акрамя тых, для якіх ён быў распрацаваны.
• Ні ў якім разе не змяняйце і не мадыфікуйце гэты інструмент. Няправільная эксплуатацыя і/або абслугоўванне інструмента, або мадыфікацыя інструмента можа прывесці да сур'ёзных траўмаў або смерці.
• Няма частак, якія абслугоўваюцца карыстальнікам. Абслугоўвайце прыладу кваліфікаваным спецыялістам па рамонце з выкарыстаннем толькі ідэнтычных запасных частак. Гэта гарантуе захаванне бяспекі прылады. Разборка прылады прывядзе да анулявання гарантыі.
• Увага: Гэты інструмент утрымлівае ўнутраную літый-палімерную батарэю. Батарэя можа выбухнуць або выбухнуць,asinнебяспечныя хімічныя рэчывы. Каб знізіць рызыку ўзнікнення пажару або апёкаў, не разбірайце, не раздушвайце, не праколвайце і не кідайце акумулятар у агонь або ваду.
• Гэты прадукт не з'яўляецца цацкай. Не дазваляйце дзецям гуляць з гэтым прадметам або каля яго.
• Не падвяргайце прыладу ўздзеянню дажджу або вільготнасці.
• Не стаўце прыладу на няўстойлівую паверхню.
• Ніколі не пакідайце прыладу без нагляду падчас працэсу зарадкі. Падчас зарадкі прылада неабходна ставіць на негаручую паверхню.
• Асцярожна звяртайцеся з прыладай. Калі прылада ўпала, праверце яе на паломку і любыя іншыя ўмовы, якія могуць паўплываць на яе працу.
• Не выкарыстоўвайце прыбор ва выбуханебяспечных асяроддзях, напрыклад, у прысутнасці лёгкаўзгаральных вадкасцяў, газаў або моцнага пылу.
• Keep the tool dry, clean, and free of oil, water or grease. Use a mild detergent on a clean cloth to clean the enclosure of the device when necessary.
• Людзям з кардыёстымулятарамі варта пракансультавацца з урачом(амі) перад выкарыстаннем. Электрамагнітныя палі ў непасрэднай блізкасці ад кардыёстымулятара могуць выклікаць перашкоды або адмову кардыёстымулятара.
• Заўсёды праводзіце аўтамабільныя выпрабаванні ў бяспечных умовах.
• Не спрабуйце працаваць з інструментам або назіраць за ім падчас кіравання транспартным сродкам. Эксплуатацыя інструмента або назіранне за ім адцягне ўвагу кіроўцы і можа прывесці да аварыі са смяротным зыходам.
• Апранайце ахоўныя сродкі абароны вачэй, якія адпавядаюць стандартам ANSI.
• Keep clothing, hair, hands, tools, test equipment, and other objects away from all moving or hot engine parts.
• Кіруйце аўтамабілем у добра вентыляваным працоўным памяшканні. Выхлапныя газы атрутныя.
• Chock the drive wheels and never leave the vehicle unattended while running tests.
• Будзьце вельмі асцярожныя, працуючы вакол шпулькі запальвання, крышкі размеркавальніка, правадоў запальвання і свечак запальвання. Гэтыя кампаненты ствараюць небяспечныя абtages, калі рухавік працуе.
• Усталюйце каробку перадач у P (для A / T) або N (для M / T) і пераканайцеся, што парковачны тормаз уключаны.
