2.9

Check the condition of the test leads before making

a measurement. Do not use the test leads if there is

damaged insulation or exposed metal. Failure to

observe this precaution may result in damage to the

meter or injury to the user.

2.10

Make sure test leads are properly inserted and

seated in the meter's input jacks. A loose test lead

may cause the user to believe that no hazard exists,

when in fact, dangerous voltages or currents may

be present. Failure to observe this precaution may

result in damage to the meter or injury to the user.

2.11

Do not touch the tips of the test leads when making

a measurement. Do not touch live circuitry when

making a measurement. Failure to observe this

precaution may result in damage to the meter or

injury to the user.

2.12

Before using the meter, examine both the meter

and the test leads for damage. Do not use the

meter if damage (damaged insulation, exposed

metal, cracked case, burnt smell, etc.) is evident.
