any tool when you are tired.
13.
Check for damaged parts
. Before using any tool, any part that appears dam-
aged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function. Check for alignment and binding of moving parts;
any broken parts or mounting fixtures; and any other condition that may affect
proper operation. In addition to a general inspection, look specifically for:
a.
Pay special attention to the insulation protecting the connectors.
b.
Check the leads for exposed metal, damaged insulation, and continu-
ity.
Replace damaged test leads immediately, before use.
Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a quali-
fied technician. Do not use the tool if any switch does not operate properly.
