SAFETY WARNINGS

This instrument must only be used by suitably trained and competent persons.
The circuit under test must be switched off, de-energised and isolated before insulation test connections are made.
Circuit connections must not be touched during an insulation test.
After completion of an insulation test, capacitive circuits must be discharged before disconnecting the test leads.
Turning the instrument off, and manually discharging circuits on completion of tests is recommended as standard procedure, before touching the test
leads.
In certain circumstances, breakdown of the circuit under test may cause the instrument to terminate the test in an uncontrolled manner, possibly
causing a loss of display while the circuit remains energised. In this event, it is even more important that the 'ON/OFF' key is pressed, and the
circuit manually discharged before touching any connections.
Test leads, including crocodile clips, must be in good order, clean and with no broken or cracked insulation.
The instrument should not be used if any part of it is damaged.
Water on the surface of the instrument may lead to erroneous results. It is recommended that the instrument is not used in wet weather conditions.
This instrument is not intrinsically safe and must not be used in hazardous atmospheres.
NOTE
THE INSTRUMENT MUST ONLY BE USED BY SUITABLY TRAINED AND COMPETENT PERSONS.
