3 Important Information about your Instrument

WARNING
The absence of a positive indication does not guarantee the non-existence of a utility.
Utilities without a detectable signal may be present.
The locators can only locate non-metallic utilities such as plastic pipes, typically used by
the water and gas utilities, with the use of appropriate accessories.
Precautions:
▶Always excavate with care.
WARNING
A hazardous signal can be present at the transmitter output when used in connection
mode and on the attached accessories and live utility itself.
Precautions:
▶Take care when handling exposed or non-insulated connections. Notify others who
may be working on or around the utility.
4 Important Information about your Instrument

WARNING
Working on or near live electrical utilities may cause you to receive an electric shock.
Precautions:
▶Do not exceed equipment’s recommended ratings and instructions of use.
▶Inspect equipment’s cables and accessories for damage, do not use if faulty.
▶Do not work on electrically live power utilities unless you are properly qualified.
▶Use personal protective equipment rated for the utilities voltage and current.
▶Familiarise yourself with National and Work regulations governing safety and accident
prevention.
