Always activate the hand brake or parking brake on the vehicle.
Always block the wheels on the vehicle with the specific mechanical blocks.
Make sure the device is stable, on a flat surface and the wheels are locked with
the specific brakes.

3.2.4 Hazards Caused by Moving Parts


Vehicle engines include parts that move, both while running and not
running (eg: the cooling fan is controlled by a thermal switch in
connection with the coolant temperature and become activated even
when the vehicle is off), that can injure the operator.
Safety Precautions:

Keep hands away from moving parts.


Disconnect the engine cooling fan each time the engine you are working on is still
hot. This will avoid the fan from becoming activated unexpectedly even when the
engine is off.
Do not wear ties, loose clothes, wrist jewellery or watches when working on a
vehicle.
Keep connection cables, probes and similar devices away from the moving parts
of the engine.

3.2.5 Risk of Burning or Scalding


The parts that are exposed to high temperatures in engines that are
moving or have just stopped could burn the operator.
Remember that catalytic mufflers reach very high temperatures, able
to cause serious burns or even start fires.
Acid in the vehicle batteries is another potential hazard.
Safety Precautions:

10

Protect your face, hands, and feet by using suitable protection.


Avoid contact with hot surfaces, such as spark plugs, exhaust pipes, radiators
and connections within the cooling system.
Make sure there are no oil stains, rags, paper or other inflammable material near
the muffler.
Avoid splashing electrolyte on skin, eyes and clothes, as it is a corrosive and
highly toxic compound.

en

service operations may damage the operator's hearing.
Safety Precautions:

Protect your ears with suitable protective ear wear.

3.2.8 High Voltage Hazard


The voltage supply from the mains that powers the devices in the
workplace and the voltage within the vehicle starter system is a
potential shock hazard to the operator.
Safety Precautions:

Make sure the electrical system in the workplace is compliant to current national
standards.
Make sure the device being used is connected to ground.
Cut off the power supply voltage before connecting or disconnecting cables.
Do NOT touch the high voltage cables when the engine is on.
Operate in conditions of insulation from ground.
11

Work with dry hands only.


Keep conductive liquids away from the engine while working.
Never leave tools on the battery in order to avoid accidental contacts.

3.2.9 Poisoning Hazard

5 ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION
For information regarding the disposal of this product please see
the pamphlet supplied.

6 OPERATION OF THE TOOL'S RADIO DEVICES


Wireless connection with Bluetooth, WiFi and HSUPA technology
Wireless connectivity through Bluetooth, WiFi and HSUPA is a technology that
supplies a standard, reliable method for exchanging information between
different devices using radio waves. Many other products besides those built
by TEXA use this technology, such as mobile phones, portable devices,
Computers, printers, cameras, Pocket PCs etc.
The Bluetooth, WiFi and HSUPA interfaces search for compatible electronic
devices based on the radio signals they emit and establish a connection. TEXA
tools only select and prompt compatible TEXA devices. This does not exclude
the presence of other sources of communication or disturbance.
THE EFFICIENCY AND QUALITY OF BLUETOOTH, WiFi AND HSUPA
COMMUNICATION MAY BE AFFECTED BY THE PRESENCE OF RADIO
DISTURBANCE. THE COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL IS DESIGNED TO
MANAGE THESE TYPES OF ERRORS; HOWEVER, IN SUCH CASES
COMMUNICATION MAY BE DIFFICULT AND CONNECTION MAY REQUIRE
SEVERAL ATTEMPTS.
SHOULD THE WIRELESS CONNECTION ENCOUNTER SERIOUS
PROBLEMS AND COMPROMISE REGULAR COMMUNICATION, THE
SOURCE OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL ELECTROMAGNETIC DISTURBANCE
MUST BE IDENTIFIED AND ITS INTENSITY REDUCED.
Position the tool so that the radio devices it is equipped with can work properly.
In particular, do not cover it with any shielding or metallic materials in general.
