1.0 SAFETY GUIDE.
Due to the method of testing for coating flaws, this equipment
outputs a voltage of up to 30kV, i.e. 30,000 volts, on the high
voltage probe. Therefore, if the User touches the probe, they
may receive a mild electric shock. However, due to the current
being very low, this is not normally dangerous.
Due to coating flaws being indicated by an electrical spark this
equipment is unsuitable for use in certain environments, e.g.
an explosive atmosphere.
