6. Safety instructions

Please read the entire operating instructions before using the product for the first time; they con-
tain important information regarding the correct operation.
The guarantee is rendered invalid when damage occurs as a result of non-compliance with the
operating instructions! Liability for any and all consequential damage is excluded!
We do not assume any liability for material and personal damage caused by improper use or non-
compliance with the safety instructions! Under these circumstances, any warranty expires.
• The unauthorised conversion and/or modification of the unit is inadmissible because of safety and ap-
proval reasons (CE).
• Consult an expert when in doubt about the operation, the safety or the connection of the device.
• Measuring instruments and accessories are not toys and have no place in the hands of children.
• On industrial sites the accident prevention regulations of the association of the industrial workers' society
for electrical equipment and utilities must be followed.
• In schools, training centres, computer and self-help workshops, handling of measuring instruments must
be supervised by trained personnel in a responsible manner.
• Be especially careful when dealing with voltages higher than 25 V AC or 35 V DC. Even at such voltages
you can receive a life-threatening electric shock when you come into contact with electric wires.
• Prior to each measurement, check your instrument for damage. Never carry out any measurements if the
protecting insulation is defective (torn, ripped off etc.)
• Do not use the meter immediately prior to, during or just after an electrical storm (electrical shock risk!
/ high-energy overvoltages!). Please make sure that your hands, your shoes, your clothing, the floor,
switches and switching components are dry.
• The measurement may be distorted. Avoid an operation near:
- strong magnetic or electromagnetic fields
- transmitter aerials or HF generators,
• If you have a reason to believe that the device can no longer be operated safely, disconnect it immedi-
ately and secure it against being operated unintentionally. It can be assumed that safe operation is no
longer possible if:
- the device is visibly damaged,
- the device no longer works and
- the unit was stored under unfavourable conditions for a long period of time or
- if it has been subjected to considerable stress in transit.
• Do not switch the measuring instrument on immediately after it has been taken from a cold to a warm
environment. Condensation that forms might destroy your device. Allow the device to reach room tem-
perature.
• Do not leave the packaging material lying around carelessly since such materials can become dangerous
toys in the hands of children.
• You should also heed the safety instructions in each chapter of these instructions.
