• Use caution around bare conductors or bus bars. To prevent
electrical shock, do not touch the conductor.
• 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.
• Disconnect power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors
before you measure resistance or continuity.
• For the 374 and 375, do not measure ac/dc current in
circuits carrying more than 1000 V or 600 A with the Product
Jaw.
• For the 376, do not measure ac/dc current in circuits
carrying more than 1000 V or 1000 A with the Product Jaw.
• Do not measure ac current in circuits carrying more than
1000 V or 2500 A with the Flexible Current Probe.
• Do not apply the Flexible Current Probe around or remove
from HAZARDOUS LIVE conductors.
• Do not use the flexible current sensor if the inner
contrasting insulation color is showing.
• Take special care during fitting and removal of the Flexible
Current Probe. De-energize the installation under test or
wear suitable protective clothing.
• Do not operate the product with covers removed or the case
open. Hazardous voltage exposure is possible.
• When batteries are changed, ensure that the calibration seal
in the battery compartment is not damaged. If damaged, the
Product may not be safe for use. Return the Product to
Fluke for replacement of the seal.
• Do not exceed the Measurement Category (CAT) rating of
the lowest rated individual component of a product, probe,
or accessory.
• Measure a known voltage first to make sure that the Product
operates correctly.
