battery or engine. Do not operate the tool in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or heavy dust.
6. Keep a fire extinguisher suitable for gasoline/chemical/
electrical fires nearby.
7. Wear an ANSI-approved eye shield when testing or
repairing vehicles.
8. Put blocks in front of the drive wheels and never leave
the vehicle unattended while testing.
9. Use extreme caution when working around the ignition
coil, distributor cap, ignition wires and spark plugs. These
components create hazardous voltage when the engine
is running.
10. To avoid damaging the tool or generating false data,
please make sure the vehicle battery is fully charged and
the connection to the vehicle DLC (Data Link Connector)
is clear and secure.
11. Automotive batteries contain sulfuric acid that is harmful
to skin. In operation, direct contact with the automotive
batteries should be avoided. Keep the ignition sources
