When using the voltage test leads, keep your fingers away from the probe contacts. Keep your fingers behind the finger guards on the probes.

Use caution when measuring above 60V-dc or 30V-ac rms. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.

AC Current Probe Safety Guidelines

Follow these safety guidelines when using the AC Current Probe:

!Never use the 80i-500s current probe on circuits rated higher than

600V. Use extreme caution when clamping the current probe around un- insulated conductors or bus bars.

Keep your fingers behind the finger guard on the 80i-500s.

Check the magnetic mating surfaces of the probe jaws; these should be free of dirt, dust, rust, or other foreign matter.

Do not use a current probe that has been cracked or damaged or has de- fective leads. If there is any such sign of impaired operation, tape the probe shut to prevent operation.

The 80i-500s has been designed and tested according to IEC 1010-1:1992 and other safety standards. Follow all warnings to ensure safe operation.
