Safety Information
A WCaution identifies conditions and actions that may damage the 9040.
A XWWarning identifies conditions and actions that pose hazard(s) to the user.
XW Read First: Safety Information
To avoid possible electric shock or fire, do the following:
•Read the following safety information carefully before using or
servicing the instrument.
•Adhere to local and national safety codes.
•Individual protective equipment must be used to prevent shock and
injury.
•Use of instrument in a manner not specified by the manufacturer may
impair safety features/protection provided by the equipment.
•Avoid working alone.
•Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed metal. Check
test lead continuity. Damaged leads must be replaced. Do not use the
9040 if it looks damaged.
•Be careful when working above 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak and 60 V dc.
Such voltages pose a shock hazard.

•When using the probes, keep fingers away from probe contacts. Keep
fingers behind the finger guards on the probes.
•Measurements can be adversely affected by impedances of additional
operating circuits connected in parallel or by transient currents.
•Verify operation prior to measuring hazardous voltages (voltages above
30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak and 60 V dc).
•Do not use the 9040 with any of the parts removed.
•Do not use the 9040 around explosive gas, vapor, or dust.
•Do not use the 9040 in a wet environment.
