1.2 Safety / Proper Usage
Caution!
Note the tester’s capacity of 200 lbF [1,000 N]. Producing a force greater than 150% of capacity
can damage the internal load cell. An overload can occur whether the tester is powered on or off.
Typical materials able to be tested include many manufactured items, such as wires, tubing, and other
samples. Items that should not be used with the tester include potentially flammable substances or
products, items that can shatter in an unsafe manner, and any other components that can present an
exceedingly hazardous situation when acted upon by a force.
The following safety checks and procedures should be performed before and during operation:
1. Never operate the tester if there is any visible damage to the AC adapter or the tester itself.
2. Ensure that the tester is kept away from water or any other electrically conductive liquids at all
times.
3. The tester should be serviced by a trained technician only. AC power must be disconnected and
the tester must be powered off before the housing is opened.
4. Always consider the characteristics of the sample being tested before initiating a test. A risk
assessment should be carried out beforehand to ensure that all safety measures have been
addressed and implemented.
5. Wear eye and face protection when testing, especially when testing brittle samples that have the
potential to shatter under force. Be aware of the dangers posed by potential energy that can
accumulate in the sample during testing. Extra bodily protection should be worn if a destructive
failure of a test sample is possible.
6. In certain applications, such as the testing of brittle samples that can shatter, or other applications
that could lead to a hazardous situation, it is strongly recommended that a machine guarding
system be employed to protect the operator and others in the vicinity from shards or debris.
7. When the tester is not in use, ensure that the power is turned off.
