Don't Touch
Don't touch exposed wiring, connections, or other "live" parts of an
electrical circuit. If in doubt, check the circuit first for voltage before
touching it. Turn off the power to a circuit before connecting test
probes to it. Be sure there is no voltage present before you touch
the circuit. Do not use cracked or broken test leads.
High Voltage Is Dangerous
Always start with the power off. Be sure there is no voltage present
before making connections to the circuit. Don't touch the tester, its
leads, or any part of the circuit while it is on. Before disconnecting
the tester, turn the circuit off and wait for the meter to return to
"zero".
Distribution Circuits Pack a Punch
In high energy circuits such as distribution transformers and bus
bars, dangerous arcs of explosive nature can occur if the circuit is
shorted. If the tester is connected across a high energy circuit when
set to a low resistance range, a current range, or any other low im-
pedance range, the circuit is virtually shorted. Special equipment
designed for use with these circuits is available. Contact a qualified
person for assistance before attempting to make measurements on
any high energy circuit.
