Safety Sheet

To prevent possible electric shock, fire, or personal injury:

●● Use the Product only as specified, or the protection supplied by the Product can be compromised.

●● Do not use if the flashlight does not operate.

●● The battery door must be closed and locked before you operate the Product.

●● Measure a known voltage first to make sure that the Product operates correctly.

●● When using the Product if tip does not glow, voltage could still be present. The Product indicates active voltage in the presence of electrostatic fields of sufficient strength generated from the source (MAINS) voltage. If the field strength is low, the Product may not provide indication of live voltages. Lack of an indication occurs if the Product is unable to sense the presence of voltage which may be influenced by several factors including, but not limited to:

Shielded wire/cables

Thickness and type of insulation

Distance from the voltage source

Fully-isolated users that prevent an effective ground

Receptacles in recessed sockets/ differences in socket design

Condition of the Product and Batteries

●● Disable the Product if it is damaged. ●● Do not use the Product if it is damaged. ●● Use Product with arrow visible.

●● Hold the Product behind the tactile barrier.

●● Do not touch voltages > 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or 60 V dc.

●● Do not use for dc voltage measurements or around voltages exceeding 600 volts, or in the presence of variable motor drives.

●● Use caution with voltages above 30 V ac as a shock hazard may exist. ●● Do not allow the Product to directly touch live circuits.

●● Using the Product while attached to any metal object could lead to electric shock or personal injury.

●● Do not stare or look directly at the LED flash light. The light is extremely bright.

●● 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.

●● Batteries contain hazardous chemicals that can cause burns or explode. If exposure to chemicals occurs, clean with water and get medical aid.

●● Remove the batteries if the Product is not used for an extended period of time, or if stored in temperatures above 50 °C. If the batteries are not removed, battery leakage can damage the Product.

●● Do not disassemble or crush battery cells and battery packs.
