Safety
Precautions
The L1070 and L1071 Portable Locators and the recommended operating
procedures have been designed with careful attention to safety; however, it is not
possible to eliminate all hazards from electrical test equipment or to foresee
every possible hazard that may occur. It is therefore essential that the user, in
addition to following the safety rules in this manual, also carefully consider all
safety aspects of the test before proceeding. Safety is the responsibility of the
user.

WARNING!
Do NOT connect to live or energized power cable.
Use suitable barriers, barricades, and warnings to keep people not actually
engaged in the test at a safe distance. Make sure that no one can make contact
with energized parts of the test equipment and the specimen under test.
Treat all terminals of power equipment as a potential electric shock hazard.
There is always the possibility of voltages being induced at these terminals
because of proximity to energized high-voltage lines or equipment.
Always turn the transmitter power off before touching any terminals.
Always disconnect test leads from the cable under test before attempting to
disconnect them from the portable locator.
Never connect the test leads to a cable that does not have a safety ground strap
in place. Never disconnect the test leads from a cable that does not have a safety
ground strap in place. The safety ground connection must be the first made and
the last removed. Any interruption of the grounding connection can create an
electric shock hazard.
Observe all safety warnings marked on the equipment. These warnings identify
areas of immediate hazard which could result in personal injury or loss of life.
