Safe use of the device
a)
Do not overload the device. Use tools that are suitable for the application. A
correctly selected product will do a better and safer job for which it was
designed.
b)
Do not use the device if the ON/OFF switch does not function properly (does
not turn on and off). Units that cannot be controlled by the switch are unsafe,
cannot operate, and must be repaired.
c)
Keep unused products out of the reach of children and anyone unfamiliar with
the device or this manual. Products are dangerous when used by
inexperienced users.
d)
Keep the product out of the reach of children.
e)
Repairs and maintenance should be carried out by qualified personnel using
only original spare parts. This will ensure the safety of use.
f)
To ensure the designed operational integrity of the device, do not remove
factory-installed covers or loosen screws.
g)
Clean the device regularly to prevent permanent dirt build-up.
h)
Do not overload the scale. This can damage the strain gauges.
i)
Before taking a measurement, make sure that the unit is placed on a stable
surface, and is not exposed to vibrations or sudden temperature changes that
may adversely affect the measurement results.
j)
Do not leave any weight on the scale for a long time. This reduces the accuracy
of the balance and shortens the life of the strain gauge sensors.
k)
Do not use the scale during a storm or rain.
l)
Avoid extreme temperatures. Do not place the scale directly in the sun or near
air conditioning systems.
m) The scale should not be used near power-consuming devices such as welding
machines or large electric motors.
n)
Do not leave the battery in the scale if it is not used for a long time.
o)
Avoid high humidity that could cause condensation and direct contact with
water.
