3. Safety Instructions
To ensure the safe use of the device, please follow all the safety and operating
instructions given in this manual.

Before using the device, make sure that test leads and the device are in
good condition and the device is working properly (e.g. by connecting to
known voltage sources).

The device may not be used if the housing or the test leads are damaged, if
one or more functions are not working, if functions are not displayed, or if
you suspect that something is wrong.

If the safety of the user cannot be guaranteed, the device may not be
operated and secured against use.

Never use the device in an explosionprone environment.

While using this device, hold the test leads only behind the finger guards -
do not touch the probes.

Never ground yourself while making electrical measurements. Do not touch
any exposed metal pipes, fittings etc., which could have a ground potential.
Ensure that your body is isolated by using dry clothes, rubber shoes, rubber
mats or other approved insulation materials.

Never touch conductive parts or bare wires.

Hazardous voltage! The probes may not be long enough to touch the hot
parts in some 230V wall sockets as they are deep inside. As a result, the
reading can show 0 volts. Make sure that the probes touch the metallic
contacts in the socket before assuming that voltage has not been applied.

Operate the device in a way that it is not difficult to operate the network
separators.

Always adjust the rotary switch to the desired measuring range before
starting the measurement and engage the switch in the proper measuring
range.

If the magnitude of the signal to be measured is not known, always start
with the highest measuring range on the rotary switch and then reduce
step-by-step.

If the measuring range needs to be changed during the measurement,
remove the probes from the circuit first.
