3 GENERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS

3.1 Glossary

• Operator: qualified individual, in charge of using the device/tool.

• Machine/device/tool: the product purchased.

• Workplace: the place where the operator must carry out her/his work.

3.2 Operator Safety Regulations

3.2.1 General Safety Regulations

• The operator must be completely clear-headed and sober when using the device;

taking drugs or alcohol before or when operating the device is strictly forbidden.

• The operator must not smoke during device operation.

• The operator must carefully read all the information and instructions in thetechnical documents provided with the device.

• The operator must follow all the instructions provided in the technical documents.

• The operator must always watch over the device during the various operating

phases.

for the operations that must be carried out.

• The operator must report any faults or potentially hazardous situation in

connection with the workplace or the device.

• The operator must carefully follow the safety regulations required for theworkplace in which she/he is working and required by the operations she/he has

been asked to carry out.

3.2.2 Risk of Asphyxiation

Exhaust gas from internal combustion engines, whether they may be

petrol or diesel, are hazardous to your health and can cause serious

harm to your body.

Safety Precautions:

• The workplace must be equipped with an adeguate ventilation and air extraction

system and must be in compliance with standards according to current national

laws.

• Always activate the air extraction system when working in closed environments.

3.2.3 Risk of Impact and Crushing

The vehicles which are undergoing A/C system recharging operationsand the devices, must be properly blocked using the specific

mechanical brakes/blocks, while being service.

9

en


10/48

Safety Precautions:

• Always make sure that the vehicle is in neutral gear (or that it is set in parking

position in case of a vehicle equipped with automatic transmission).

• 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 withthe 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:

• 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.

10


11/48

3.2.6 Fire and Explosion Hazard

The following are potential fires and/or explosion hazards:

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:

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 builtby 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 RADIODISTURBANCE. 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.
