Safety Warnings and Precautions

WARNING: When using tool, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce
the risk of personal injury and damage to equipment.

Read all instructions before using this product!

1.

Handle the Metal Detector carefully at all times.  Dropping the Metal Detector can cause

damage  to circuit boards and the case, which can cause the product to work improperly.

2.

Only use and store the Metal Detector in normal temperature environments.  Extremes

in temperature can shorten the effectiveness of electronic devices and melt or damage
plastic parts.

3.

Avoid electrical shock. Any metal detector may discover underground power lines,

explosives or other items which when struck could cause personal injury.  Do not use this
product in areas where there might be underground electric lines or pipes buried at shallow
depths.  Never search in military zones where bombs or other explosives may be buried.
Avoid striking any line known or suspected to be carrying electric power.  Do not search
any pipeline, particularly if it could contain a flammable gas or liquid.  In areas of uncertain
conditions, use reasonable caution before using the Metal Detector.  If there is any question
about a condition being safe of unsafe, do not operate the Metal Detector.

4.

Keep the Metal Detector clean.  Wipe the housing after each use.  The search coil is

washable and can be fully submerged.  Never submerge the control housing.  Protect the
control housing from rain, blowing surf and heavy mist.  Disassemble the stem and wipe it
clean after use in sandy areas.

5.

Dress properly.  Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they can be caught in moving

par ts.  Protective, electrically nonconductive clothes and nonskid footwear are
recommended when working.  Wear restrictive hair covering to contain long hair.

6.

Use the right tool for the job.  Do not attempt to force a small tool or attachment to do the

work of a larger industrial tool. There are certain applications for which this tool was
designed. Do not modify this tool and do not use this tool for a purpose for which it was not
intended.

7.

Stay alert.  Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Do not operate any tool when

you are tired.
