Fluke 165X Installation Manual page 11

To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury:
•
Use the tester only as specified in this manual, or the protection provided by the tester might be impaired.
•
Do not use the tester in wet environments.
•
Inspect the tester before using it. Do not use the tester if it appears damaged. Look for cracks or missing plastic. Pay particular at-
tention to the insulation around the connectors.
•
Inspect the test leads before use. Do not use them if insulation is damaged or metal is exposed. Check the test leads for continuity.
Replace damaged test leads before using the tester. Use only test leads specified in the manual or safety may be impaired.
•
Verify the tester's operation by measuring a known voltage before and after using it. Do not use the tester if it operates abnormally.
Protection may be impaired. If in doubt, have the tester serviced.
•
Have the tester serviced only by qualified service personnel.
•
Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the tester, between the terminals or between any terminal and earth ground.
•
Remove test leads from the tester before opening the tester case.
•
Never operate the tester with the case open.
•
Use caution when working with voltages above 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or 60 V dc. These voltages pose a shock hazard.
•
Use only the replacement fuse specified in the users manual.
•
Use the proper terminals, function, and range for your measurements.
•
Do not operate the tester around explosive gas, vapor, or dust.
•
When using probes, keep your fingers behind the finger guards.
•
When making electrical connections, connect the common test lead before connecting the live test lead; when disconnecting, dis-
connect the live test lead before disconnecting the common test lead.
• Replace the battery as soon as the low battery indicator ( M ) appears to avoid false readings that can lead to electric shock and
injury.
•
When servicing the tester, use only specified replacement parts.
•
Do not use the tester in distribution systems with voltages higher than 550 V.
•
When working on high energy systems, rubber gloves and flame-resistant face shield and clothing should be worn.
