Precautions - Martindale Electric EZ365 Instruction Manual

1.2 Precautions

This product has been designed with your safety in mind, but please
pay attention to the following warnings and cautions before use.
Warnings
In order to avoid the danger of electrical shock, it is important that proper
safety measures are taken when working with voltages exceeding 30 V
AC rms, 42V AC peak or 60V DC.
Where applicable other safety measures such as use of protective
gloves, goggles etc. should be employed.
This socket tester must only be used by a skilled and competent person
who is familiar with the relevant regulations, the safety risks involved and
the consequent normal safe working practices, and under the conditions
and for the purposes for which it has been constructed and specified.
Before each use the socket tester should be examined for damage,
cracks, cuts or scratches. Do not use if damaged in any way.
Make sure the socket tester is dry, clean and free from dust, grease
and moisture while in use to avoid the danger from electric shock due to
surface leakage.
The EZ365 must only be used on CAT II installations up to 300V to
earth.
Always verify the unit is functioning correctly on a known correctly-wired
live socket before and after use.
If none of the indicators illuminate, this does not necessarily mean the
circuit under test is dead. For example the earth and neutral lines could
both be open circuit, or the supply voltage may be <40V.
Cautions
Avoid severe mechanical shock or vibration and extreme temperature.
