UEi Test Instruments UTL260 - Manual (Page 2)

• Read the safety precautions associated with the equipment being
tested and seek assistance or advice when performing
unfamiliar tasks.
• Keep your fingers away from the test lead metal probe contacts
and bus-bars when making measurements. Always grip the
instrument and test-leads behind the hand guards (molded into
the probes).
• In the event of electrical shock, ALWAYS bring the victim to
the emergency room for evaluation, regardless of the victim’s
apparent recovery. Electrical shock can cause an unstable heart
rhythm that may need medical attention.
