•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 product around explosive gas, vapor, or in damp or wet
