DO NOT TOUCH
Do not 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 be-
fore you touch the circuit. Do not use cracked or bro-
ken test leads.
HIGH VOLTAGE IS DANGEROUS
Always start with the power off. Be sure there is no
voltage present before making connections to the cir-
cuit.
Don’t touch the tester, its test 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 transform-
ers and bus bars, dangerous arcs of explosive nature
can occur if the circuit is shorted. If the tester is con-
nected across a high energy circuit when set to a low
resistance range, a current range, or any other low
impedance 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.
