2. Safety instructions
The instrument is built and tested in accordance with
DIN VDE 0411 Part 1/ EN 61010-1
DIN VDE 0411 Part 2-032/EN 61010-2-032
DIN VDE 0411 Part 2-033/EN 61010-2-033
DIN VDE 0411 Part 031/EN 61010-031
and has left the factory in perfectly safe technical condition.
To preserve this condition and to ensure safe operation of the device, the user
must observe the notes and warnings given in these instructions at all times.
Improper handling and non-observance of the warnings might involve severe
injuries or danger to life.
WARNING! Be extremely careful when working with bare con­

ductors or main line carrier! Contact with live conductors will
cause an electric shock!
The BENNING CM 8 must be used in electrical circuits of
overvoltage category III with a conductor for a maximum of
600 V to earth only.
Only use suitable measuring leads for this. With measurements
within measurement category III, the projecting conductive part
of a contact tip of the measuring leads must not be longer than
4 mm.

Prior to carrying out measurements within measurement
category III, the push­on caps provided with the set and marked
with CAT III and CAT IV must be pushed onto the contact tips.
The purpose of this measure is user protection.
Please observe that work on live parts and electrical
components of all kinds is dangerous! Even low voltages of
30 V AC and 60 V DC may be dangerous to human life!
Before starting the current clamp multimeter, always check the

device as well as all measuring leads for damages.
If it can be assumed that safe operation is no longer possible, switch the device
off immediately and secure it against unintended operation.
Safe operation can be assumed to be no longer possible, if
- the device or the measuring leads exhibit visible damages,
- the device no longer works,
- the device has been stored under unfavourable conditions for a longer pe-
riod of time,
- the device was exposed to extraordinary stress during transport.
In order to prevent danger
­ do not touch the bare measuring probe tips of the

measuring leads,
­ insert the measuring leads into the respectively designated
measuring socket of the multimeter.
