supplied by the Product can be compromised.
• Carefully read all instructions.
• Do not use the Product around explosive gas, vapor, or in
damp or wet environments.
• Use this Product indoors only.
• Do not touch voltages > 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or
60 V dc.
• Do not use the Product if it operates incorrectly.
• Do not use and disable the Product if it is damaged.
• 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.
• Use only cables with correct voltage ratings.
• Connect the common test lead before the live test lead and
remove the live test lead before the common test lead.
• Use only the mains power cord and connector approved for
the voltage and plug configuration in your country and rated
for the Product.
• Make sure the ground conductor in the mains power cord is
connected to a protective earth ground. Disruption of the
