• Do not use test leads if they are
damaged. Examine the test leads for
damaged insulation, exposed metal, or if
the wear indicator shows. Check test
lead continuity.
• Examine the case before you use the
Product. Look for cracks or missing
plastic. Carefully look at the insulation
around the terminals.
• Make sure the ground conductor in the
mains power cord is connected to a
protective earth ground. Disruption of
the protective earth could put voltage on
the chassis that could cause death.
• Do not use an extension cord or adapter
plug.
• Do not use and disable the Product if it
is damaged.
• Do not use the Product around explosive
gas, vapor, or in damp or wet
environments.
• Do not touch voltages > 30 V ac rms, 42
V ac peak, or 60 V dc.
• Measure a known voltage first to make
sure that the Product operates correctly.
• Do not apply more than the rated
voltage, between the terminals or
between each terminal and earth ground.
• Remove the null post adapter from the
∅ /Null jack after a test lead zero is
performed. The ∅ /Null jack becomes
potentially hazardous during some of the
test conditions. Use only cables with
correct voltage ratings.
• Remove all probes, test leads, and
accessories that are not necessary for
the measurement.
• Keep fingers behind the finger guards on
the probes.
• Connect the common test lead before
the live test lead and remove the live test
lead before the common test lead.
• Use only current probes, test leads, and
adapters supplied with the Product.
• Do not use the 15-20 A adapter to supply
power to devices rated more than 15 A.
This can overload the installation.
