Safety Instructions
All instructions must be read and observed. The safeguards integrated into the measuring tool may be compromised if the measuring tool is not used in accordance with these instructions. STORE THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN A SAFE PLACE.
- Have the measuring tool repaired only by a qualified specialist using only original replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the measuring tool is maintained.
- Do not use the measuring tool in explosive atmospheres which contain flammable liquids, gases or dust. Sparks may be produced inside the measuring tool, which can ignite dust or fumes.
- Do not modify or open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuiting.
- In case of damage and improper use of the battery, vapours may be emitted. The battery can set alight or explode. Ensure the area is well ventilated and seek medical attention should you experience any adverse effects. The vapours may irritate the respiratory system.
- If used incorrectly or if the battery is damaged, flammable liquid may be ejected from the battery. Contact with this liquid should be avoided. If contact accidentally occurs, rinse off with water. If the liquid comes into contact with your eyes, seek additional medical attention. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
- The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally. An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery to burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
- When the battery is not in use, keep it away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that could make a connection from one terminal to another. A short circuit between the battery terminals may cause burns or a fire.
- Only use the battery with products from the manufacturer. This is the only way in which you can protect the battery against dangerous overload.
- Only charge the batteries using chargers recommended by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery may pose a fire risk when used with a different battery.
Protect the measuring tool against heat, e.g. including prolonged sun exposure, fire, water, and moisture. Danger of explosion.
Protect the measuring tool against heat, e.g. including prolonged sun exposure, fire, water, and moisture. Danger of explosion.
Protect the rechargeable battery against heat, e.g. including prolonged sun exposure, fire, water, and moisture. There is a risk of explosion and short circuit.
- Products sold in GB only:
Your product is fitted with an BS 1363/A approved electric plug with internal fuse (ASTA approved to BS 1362).
If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an authorised customer service agent. The replacement plug should have the same fuse rating as the original plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains socket elsewhere.
- Only use and charge the battery with compatible products from the manufacturer. This is the only way in which you can protect the battery against dangerous overload.
| Keep the magnet away from implants and other medical devices, e.g. pacemakers or insulin pumps. The magnet generates a field that can impair the function of implants and medical devices. |
- Keep the measuring tool away from magnetic storage media and magnetically-sensitive devices. The effect of the magnets can lead to irreversible data loss.
- Handle the measuring tool carefully if the protective cap has been removed. Careless handling of the measuring tool when the protective cap has been removed can result in injuries.
- The measured values may differ from the actual values. Measured values can be influenced by environmental factors (e.g. dust or steam in the measuring range), temperature fluctuations (e.g. through a fan heater) and the nature and condition of the surfaces being measured (e.g. uneven distribution of moisture).
- Protect the measuring tool, particularly the humidity and temperature sensor, from moisture, dust and dirt. A contaminated humidity and temperature sensor may distort the measurements.
