•
Never ground yourself when taking electrical measurements.
•
Connect the black common lead to ground or neutral before applying the
red test lead to voltage. Disconnect the red test lead from the voltage first.
•
Always work with a partner.
•
When using the probes, keep fingers as far behind the probe tips as
possible.
