Injury or death can occur even with low voltages and low current. It is extremely important that you read these safety
instructions before using your device. Follow all safety and operating procedures as described in this manual.
1. Exercise extreme caution when: measuring voltages > 20V, measuring current > 10mA, measuring AC power
lines with inductive loads, measuring AC power lines during electrical storms.
2. Always inspect your device, test lead and accessories for damage before you use them. Do not attempt to
perform measurements in case of damage e.g. damaged test lead, cracked case, illegible display, etc.
3. Never ground yourself when taking electrical measurements. Do not touch exposed metal pipes that might be at
ground potential. Keep your body isolated from the ground by using dry clothing: use rubber mats, rubber shoes
or approved insulating materials.
4. Never touch exposed wiring, connections, test probe tips or live circuits during your measurements.
5. Always replace the fuse with an identical one or one with identical specifications. Disconnect the power cord and
the test lead and cut off the input signal before replacing the fuse in order to avoid all risks of electroshocks.
6. Do not operate this device in close proximity to explosives e.g. flammable gases or fumes, vapour or dust.
