Safety
Avoiding hazards due to improper assembly
If the DPG is not assembled properly, there is a risk of losing the
balance weight during testing. This can result in broken bones,
bruises and crushing.
➢ Mount the DPG firmly on a worktop
Avoiding injuries due to incorrect handling
A risk of dropping occurs if an unfastened DPG is handled
incorrectly. This can result in broken bones, bruises and crushing.
➢ Only grip the DPG at the mounting bracket.
➢ Wear safety shoes with steel toecaps.
Avoiding hearing damage
When testing click type torque wrenches, the triggering impact
causes a sound pressure level. This can cause noise-induced
hearing loss.
➢ Wear ear protectors in this case.
Avoiding material damage
The DPG is precision test equipment, and must be handled with the
greatest of care. Avoid mechanical, chemical or thermal effects
which exceed the stresses involved in proper use.
Soiling or moisture can lead to material damage and influence the
measurement accuracy.
