Users of this equipment and/or their employers are reminded that Health and Safety Legislation requires them to carry out valid risk assessments of all
electrical work so as to identify potential sources of electrical danger and risk of electrical injury such as inadvertent short circuits.
Some national safety authorities recommend fused leads for voltage measurement on high energy systems. If RCD or Loop tests are made it may cause
the fuse to rupture, and so they must be used with caution on voltage testing.
NOTE
THE INSTRUMENT MUST ONLY BE USED BY SUITABLY TRAINED AND COMPETENT PERSONS.
