Page 9 - Using Your Tester Safely; Warning; International Safety Symbols; Safety Guidelines for Tester and Voltage Probe; To ensure that you use your Tester safely, follow these guidelines:
v Using Your Tester Safely ! Warning ! To avoid electric shock, use only the test leads suppliedwith the Tester. Use 600V rated probe tip adapters.(“600V” is printed on the equipment.) Remove all testleads that are not in use. Use only the 80i-500s ac current probe or a safety-designed equivalent (s...
Page 10 - AC Current Probe Safety Guidelines; Follow these safety guidelines when using the AC Current Probe:
vi • When using the voltage test leads, keep your fingers away from the probecontacts. Keep your fingers behind the finger guards on the probes. • Use caution when measuring above 60V-dc or 30V-ac rms. Such voltagespose a shock hazard.
