DANGER
Check that the insulation on the leads is not damaged and
that the conductors in the leads are not exposed before use.
Using test leads or an instrument that are damaged could lead to serious
bodily injury. If you nd any damage, replace with a Hioki-specied part.
WARNING
Do not use the instrument with the test leads connected for
measurements that exceed any of the ratings marked on
them.
Using the product for measurements that exceed any ratings could
cause the user to experience an electric shock.
Use only Hioki-specied test leads with the instrument.
Using an unspecied test lead could result in bodily injury or a short-
circuit fault.
CAUTION
Do not bend or pull on cables at temperatures of 0
°
C or lower.
Cables could harden in low temperatures. Bending or pulling a cable
under these conditions could cause a break in the cable or damage the
insulation, resulting in an electric shock.
Do not allow test leads to contact each other or place objects on
test leads.
Doing so could cause measurement errors and malfunctions.
IMPORTANT
Be sure to clean test leads after use. If test leads are dirty, they may deteriorate.
