• The tester must not be used with the battery compartment open. Before using the tester, ensure that the device is in perfect working order. Look out e.g. for broken housing or leaking batteries.
• Failure to read the tester manual or to comply with the warnings and references contained herein can result in serious bodily injury or tester damage.
• The respective accident prevention regulations established by the professional associations are to be strictly enforced at all times. Hold the tester and accessories by the designated grip areas only. The tester may be used only within the specified measurement ranges and in low-voltage installations.
