■
The battery should be removed from the device if it is not used for a long
period of time to avoid damage through leaking. Leaking or damaged batteries
might cause acid burns when in contact with skin, therefore use suitable pro-
tective gloves to handle corrupted batteries.
■
Batteries must be kept out of reach of children. Do not leave batteries lying
around, as there is risk, that children or pets swallow them.
■
Batteries must not be dismantled, short-circuited or thrown into fire. Never re-
charge non-rechargeable batteries. There is a risk of explosion!
6.6 Electrical safety
■
Use caution when working with voltages over 30 V/DC. Do not touch measure-
ment points.
■
Do not touch the exposed wire, connector, unused input terminal or circuit dur-
ing measurement.
■
Do not use damaged test leads. Check test leads for damage before every
use.
■
Never take measurements if the protective insulation of a test lead is damaged
(torn, missing, etc.). The test leads come with a wear indicator. The second
layer of insulation will become visible if the lead is damaged (the second layer
of insulation is a different colour). If this occurs, discontinue use and replace
the test lead.
■
If a load is connected to the product, never disconnect test leads.
■
If the battery compartment is open, do not use the product. There is a risk of
electric shock.
■
Only use test leads that are rated the same and have the same approval as the
originally provided ones.
