Safety Information

To ensure safe operation and
service of the Tester, follow these
instructions. Failure to observe
warnings can result in severe

injury or death.

- Avoid working alone so assistance

can be rendered.

- Do not use test leads or the Tester
if they look damaged.

- Do not use the Tester if the Tester
is not operating properly or if it is
wet.

- Use the Tester only as specified in
the Instruction card or the protection
by the Tester might be impaired.

- Use extreme caution when working
around bare conductors or bus bar.
Contact with the conductor could
result in electric shock.

- Do not use the Tester to measure
voltages in circuits that could be
damaged by the Tester’s low input

impedance (approximately 4KΩ)

- Use caution with voltages above
30 V ac rms, or 60 V dc. These
voltages pose a shock hazard.
