2. Informazzjoni dwar is-Sigurtà

• Protezzjoni tal-Polarità Reverse: The BT60 features built-in reverse polarity protection. If the clamps are connected incorrectly (red to negative, black to positive), the device will not operate, preventing damage to both the tester and the battery.
• Konnessjoni korretta: Dejjem qabbad il- aħmar clamp to the battery's terminal pożittiv (+) u l- iswed clamp to the battery's terminali negattiv (-)..
• Ebda Qawwa Esterna: The device is powered directly by the battery under test. No external power adapters or batteries are required, ensuring safe, passive testing without discharging the battery.
• Ventilazzjoni: Ensure adequate ventilation when working with lead-acid batteries, as they can produce explosive gases.
• Protezzjoni tal-għajnejn: Dejjem ilbes protezzjoni xierqa għall-għajnejn meta taħdem bil-batteriji.
• Żomm ċar: Żomm idejk, xagħar u ħwejjeġ 'il bogħod mill-partijiet li jiċċaqalqu tal-magna.
