With detector tubes
 Ensure that there are no fragments of glass in the tube test port gland prior to fitting detector
tubes, clean if required.
 Always remove the ends of the detector tubes cleanly using the correct tube tip cutter. Do not
use pincers or other devices.
 Always remove both ends of the detector tubes prior to fitting.
 Always fit detector tube with the arrows facing outwards.
 Never break the glass ampoule in the oil tube before the test.
 Only use the detector tubes that the Tester is calibrated for.
 Once used, be aware that the tube tip cutter contains ground glass and glass fragments. Take
appropriate precautions for the disposal of these. Dispose of as sharps.
 When using the tube tip cutter ensure only a light pressure is applied to the tube whilst rotating
for scoring.
