French term or phrase: sous tension

I am translating a safety data sheet and I am unsure about the follwoing phrase:

Ne pas utiliser sous tension

It appears in the following paragraph:

Equipements et procédures interdits :
Il est interdit de fumer, manger et boire dans les locaux où la préparation est utilisée.
Ne jamais ouvrir les emballages par pression.
Ne pas percer ou brûler même après usage.
Ne pas utiliser sous tension.
Eviter les températures élevées.

Does this refer to the pressure?

Thanks

English translation:note to client and 'do not pressurise'

Explanation:
Given that this is an areosol, this would be my estimate as to what was meant, but clearly it's not a translation, it's an inference, so I'd have to ask the client about it and say it wasn't clear at all.
