10. When the Multitester is not in use, always leave the
range switch in the OFF position.
11, When making measurements, never stand on a wet or
damp floor.
Do not work on or even near any grounded metal object —
for example, a metal work table, metal water or gas pipes,
metal electrical conduit. Accidental contact between the
grounded metal object and the circuit under test can be
lethal.
12. Get into,the habit of keeping one hand in your pocket
when troubleshooting any equipment containing high
voltage circuitry.
13. You should remember that even a small shock can be
dangerous, because your body's reaction to a minor shock
can cause you to bump or fall against a higher voltage
contact.
Good Meter Measurement Practices
14. Do not expose your meter to moisture; avoid high
humidity and excessive dust and dirt.
15. Avoid vibration or mechanical shock; the Multitester
might be damaged or its accuracy affected.
16. Avoid using meters in locations with high magnetic
fields.
(Inaccurate measurements can result.)
17. Always use only well insulated test leads. Never use test
leads with frayed or broken insulation.
