Handling the Cables
• Removable sleeves are attached to the
metal pins at the ends of the test leads.
To prevent a short circuit accident, be sure
to use the test leads with the sleeves
attached when performing measurements
in the CAT III and CAT IV measurement
categories . Remove the sleeves from the
test leads when performing measurements
in the and CAT II measurement categories.
For details on measurement categories,
see "Measurement categories" (page 5) in
the instruction manual.
• To prevent an electric shock accident, con-
firm that the white or red portion (insulation
layer) inside the cable is not exposed. If a
color inside the cable is exposed, do not
use the cable.
• The ends of the test leads are sharp. Be careful
to avoid injury.
• To avoid damaging the cables, do not bend or
pull the cables.
• Avoid stepping on or pinching the cable, which
could damage the cable insulation.
