1.3 Never open the instrument case except for battery or
fuse replacement.
1.4 Always inspect your Insulation Tester and test leads before
use for any sign of abnormality or damage. If any abnormal
conditions exist (broken test leads, cracked case, display
faulty, inconsistent readings, etc) do not attempt to take
any measurements. Return to Kewtech for rectification.
1.5 Never replace the protective fuse inside the instrument
with any other than the specified or approved equal
(0.5A/600V) fast acting ceramic to IEC127.
1.6 This meter has been designed with your safety in mind.
However, no design can completely protect against incor-
rect use. Electrical circuits can be dangerous and/or lethal
when a lack of caution or poor safety practice is used. Use
caution in the presence of voltages above 50V as these
pose a shock hazard.
1.7 Pay attention to cautions and warnings which will inform
you of potentially dangerous procedures.
1.8 If at anytime during testing there is a momentary degrada-
tion of reading, this may be due to excessive transients or
discharges on the system or local area. Should this be
observed, the test should be repeated to obtain a correct
reading. If in doubt always contact Kewtech.
1.9 Never assume an installation circuit is not live. Confirm it is
de- energised before commencing testing.
1.10 Replace worn and/or damaged leads with new ones
approved by Kewtech immediately.
1.11It is essential to understand and follow the safety rules
contained in this manual. They must always be observed
when using the instrument.
1.12 Warning: This product is an insulation/continuity tester and
is designed for use on de-energised systems. It
