by this symbol
.
When taking measurements:
• Avoid doing that in humid or wet places
• Avoid doing that in rooms where explosive gas, combustible gas, steam or excessive
dust is present
• Keep you insulated from the object under test
• Do not touch exposed metal parts such as test lead ends, sockets, fixing objects,
circuits etc
• Avoid doing that if you notice anomalous conditions such as breakages, deformations,
fractures, leakages of battery liquid, blind display etc
• Be particularly careful when measuring voltages exceeding 20V to avoid risks of
electrical shocks
The following symbols are used:
CAUTION - refer to the instruction manual - an improper use may damage the
