Users of this equipment and/or their employers are reminded that National Health and Safety
Legislation requires them to carry out valid risk assessments of all electrical work so as to
identify potential sources of electrical danger and risk of electrical injury such as inadvertent short
circuits. Where the assessments show that the risk is significant then the use of fused test leads
may be appropriate.
The safety warnings provided in this document are indicative of safe practice and shall not be con-
sidered exhaustive. Additionally, they are not intended to replace local safety procedures where
the instrument is being used.
