These test leads should only be used by quali fied personnel who recog nize shock hazards and
are familiar with the safety precautions required to avoid possible injury.

The test lead's ratings may be greater than those of the instrument. Do not exceed the ratings
of the instrument. Also, do not exceed the maximum signal levels of thi s accessory (as defined
in the Characteristics paragraph) or any attached instrument.

Inspect the probes, lead insulation, and insulating sheaths for wear, cracks, or breaks before
each use.

For maximum safety, never touch or change the leads or power connections when power is
applied to the circuit under test.

Always turn off test system power and dischar g e all capacitors before connecting or
disconnecting the leads.

To prevent exposed voltages or shorting between connections, make sure both ends of the
cables are properly connected before applying power.
