Safety
A Warning identifies conditions and procedures that are dangerous to the user.
A Caution identifies conditions and procedures that can cause damage to the
Product or the equipment under test.
XW Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury:
• Carefully read all instructions.
• Read all safety information before you use the Product.
• Do not alter the Product and use only as specified, or the
protection supplied by the Product can be compromised.
• Do not use the Product around explosive gas, vapor, or in damp
or wet environments.
• Do not use the Product if it operates incorrectly.
• Use Product-approved measurement category (CAT), voltage,
and amperage rated accessories (probes, test leads, and
adapters) for all measurements.
• Do not exceed the Measurement Category (CAT) rating of the
lowest rated individual component of a Product, probe, or
accessory.
• Comply with local and national safety codes. Use personal
protective equipment (approved rubber gloves, face protection,
and flame-resistant clothes) to prevent shock and arc blast injury
where hazardous live conductors are exposed.
• Before each use, examine the Product. Look for cracks or
missing pieces of the clamp housing or output cable insulation.
Also look for loose or weakened components. Carefully examine
the insulation around the jaws.
• Do not use test leads if they are damaged. Examine the test leads
for damaged insulation and measure a known voltage.
• Do not touch voltages >30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or 60 V dc.
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage, between the terminals
or between each terminal and earth ground.

• Do not use a current measurement as an indication that a circuit is
safe to touch. A voltage measurement is necessary to know if a circuit
is hazardous.
• Limit operation to the specified measurement category, voltage, or
amperage ratings.
• The battery door must be closed and locked before you operate the
Product.
• Remove all probes, test leads, and accessories before the battery door
is opened.
• Hold the Product behind the tactile barrier.
• Remove the input signals before you clean the Product.
• Repair the Product before use if the battery leaks. Battery leakage may
create a shock hazard or damage the Product.
• Use only specified replacement parts.
• Have an approved technician repair the Product.
• Remove the batteries if the Product is not used for an extended period
of time, or if stored in temperatures above 50 °C. If the batteries are not
removed, battery leakage may result.
• Batteries contain hazardous chemicals that can cause burns or
explode. If exposure to chemicals occurs, clean with water and get
medical aid.
• Do not put battery cells and battery packs near heat or fire. Do not put
in sunlight.
