•
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.
•
Do not touch voltages >30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or
60 V dc.
•
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 may result.
•
The battery door must be closed and locked before
you operate the Product.
•
Replace the batteries when the low battery indicator
shows to prevent incorrect measurements.
•
Do not apply more than the rated voltage, between the
terminals or between each terminal and earth ground.
•
Measure a known voltage first to make sure that the
Product operates correctly.
•
Use the Clamp only on insulated conductors. Use
caution around bare conductors or bus bars. To
prevent electrical shock, do not touch the conductor.
•
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.
•
Hold the Product behind the tactile barrier.
•
Keep fingers behind the finger guards on the probes.
•
Remove all probes, test leads, and accessories before
the battery door is opened.
•
Remove all probes, test leads, and accessories that
are not necessary for the measurement.
•
Do not exceed the Measurement Category (CAT)
rating of the lowest rated individual component of a
Product, probe, or accessory.
•
Do not use the Product if it operates incorrectly.
•
Disable the Product if it is damaged.
•
Do not make connections on hazardous live
conductors in damp or wet environments.
