Read Before Use – Safety Information
Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, personal injury and ensure safety
operation and service of the Tester, please follow these guidelines:
• Read the instruction before use and follow all safety instructions.
• Use the Tester only as specified in the instruction card; otherwise, the Tester's safety
features may not protect you.
• Do not use the Tester and/or the accessory if they look damaged and / or wet.
• Examine the case before you use the Tester. Look for cracks or missing plastic.
Carefully look at the insulation around the terminals.
• Do not use the Tester if it operates incorrectly.
• Do not use the Tester just before, during or just after an electrical storm (electrical
shock / high energy overvoltage!). Please make sure that your hands, your shoes,
your clothing, the floor, switches and switching components are dry.
• Never use the Tester if it just brought from a place with great temperature difference.
• Do not use the Tester around explosive gas, vapor, or in damp or wet environment.
• Limit operation to the specified measurement category, voltage, or amperage ratings
between the terminals or between each terminal and earth ground.
• Use extreme caution when working around bare conductors or bus bars. Contact with
the conductor could result in electric shock.
• Avoid to use the equipment in the environment with strong magnetic fields, strong
electrostatic fields and strong RF fields.
• Avoid simultaneous contact with battery and frame racks or hardware that may be
grounded.
• Comply with local and national safety codes. Use personal protective equipment
(approved rubber gloves, face protection, and flame-resistant clothes) to prevent
shock and arc blast injury where hazardous live conductors are exposed.
• Do not touch voltages > 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or 60 V dc.
• Keep fingers behind the finger guards on the probes.
• Use only probes, clips, and adapters supplied with the Product.
• Connect the common clip before the live clip and remove the live clip before the
common clip.
• Disable the Tester if it is damaged.
• Only use probes, test clips, and accessories that have the same measurement
category, voltage, and amperage ratings as the Tester.
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage, between the terminals or between each
