DANGER
¡ Never make measurement on a circuit above 600VAC or DC.
¡ Do not attempt to make measurement in the presence of flammable
gasses. Otherwise, the use of the instrument may cause sparking, which
can lead to an explosion.
¡ When testing a circuit that can carry high current, including a power line,
be sure to make voltage measurement at the secondary side of a circuit
breaker in order to avoid possible hazard to the user. Exercise extreme
caution not to short live conductors together with the metal tips of test
probes.
¡ Never attempt to use the instrument if its surface or your hand is wet.
¡ Do not exceed the maximum allowable input of any measurement range.
WARNING
¡ Never use the instrument, if any abnormal conditions are noted, such as
broken case, cracked test leads and exposed metal parts.
¡ Never press the test button while making connection to the circuit under
test.
¡ Do not install substitute parts or make any modification to the instrument.
Return the instrument to Kyoritsu or your distributor for repair or re-
calibration.
¡ In order to avoid possible electric shock hazard, do not touch the circuit
under test during and shortly after insulation testing. Wait until electric
charges stored in the circuit are completely discharged.
¡ Do not try to replace the batteries if the surface of the instrument is wet.
¡ Make sure to insert the test probe connector fully into the socket on the
instrument. To remove the test leads, hold and pull the connector out of
the socket.
¡ Never pull the leads in order to avoid any damage that can lead to electric
shock hazard.
¡ Switch off the instrument and remove the test leads from it before opening
the battery compartment cover for battery replacement.
CAUTION
¡ Make sure that the function selector switch is set to an appropriate
position before making measurement.
¡ Do not turn the function selector switch with the test leads connected to
the circuit under test.
¡ Be sure to set the function selector switch to the "OFF" position after use.
When the instrument will not be in use for a long period of time, place it in
storage after removing the batteries. This is to avoid damage to the
instrument by possible leakage from the batteries.
¡ Do not expose the instrument to the direct sun, temperatures of 50: or
greater, or dew fall. Placing the instrument in temperatures of 50: or
greater can cause the instrument's case to deform and result in operation
failure.
