protection, and flame-resistant clothes)
to prevent shock and arc blast injury
where hazardous live conductors are
exposed.
• Do not touch metal parts of the device
under test (DUT) while you do a test.
Some tests apply high voltage and high
current to the DUT with the DUT earth
connection open or closed.
• Examine the case before you use the
Product. Look for cracks or missing
plastic. Carefully look at the insulation
around the terminals.
• Do not use test leads if they are
damaged. Examine the test leads for
damaged insulation, exposed metal, or if
the wear indicator shows. Check test
lead continuity.
• Make sure the ground conductor in the
mains power cord is connected to a
protective earth ground. Disruption of
the protective earth could put voltage on
the chassis that could cause death.
