SAFETY WARNINGS

This instrument meets the safety requirements of IEC 61010 part 1 to 150V cat III. If it is to be used in
situations where hazardous live voltages may be encountered then an additional blocking filter must be
used.

CAUTION (Risk of electric shock)

Although this tester does not generate any hazardous voltages, circuits to which it can be connected could
be dangerous due to electric shock hazard or due to arcing (initiated by short circuit). While every effort has
been made by the manufacturer to reduce the hazard, the user must assume responsibility for ensuring
his or her own safety
.

The instrument should not be used if any part of it is damaged.

Test leads, probes and crocodile clips must be in good order, clean and with no broken or cracked insulation.

Check that all lead connections are correct before making a test.

Disconnect the test leads before accessing the battery compartment.

Refer to operating instructions for further explanation and precautions.

Safety Warnings and Precautions must be read and understood before the instrument is used. They must
be observed during use.

NOTE

THE INSTRUMENT MUST ONLY BE USED BY SUITABLY TRAINED AND COMPETENT PERSONS
