8. Nga korero haumaru

This multimeter is designed to meet safety standards for electrical measuring instruments. However, improper use can result in electric shock or damage to the meter. Always follow these safety guidelines:

• Kaua e tono nui ake i te reiti voltage between the input terminals or between any terminal and earth ground.
• Kia tino tupato ki te mahi me te voltagkei runga ake i te 30V AC RMS, te tihi 42V, te 60V DC ranei. Ko enei voltaghe morearea ohorere.
• Momotuhia te hiko o te ara iahiko me te whakaweto i ngā hiko teitei katoa.tagngā pūnga iahiko i mua i te ine i te ātete, te haere tonu rānei.
• Ensure the rotary switch is in the correct position for the measurement being performed.
• Never measure current on a circuit with power applied if the test leads are connected to the "VΩmA" or "10A" jacks and the rotary switch is set to a voltage or resistance function. This can blow the fuse or damage the meter.
• Kaua e whakamahia te mita mēnā te āhua kua pakaru, kua pakaru rānei ngā taura whakamātautau.
• Adhere to the CAT II 500V and CAT III 300V safety ratings. CAT III is for measurements in building installation (e.g., distribution boards, circuit breakers, wiring, including cables, bus-bars, junction boxes, switches, socket-outlets in the fixed installation, and equipment for industrial use and some other equipment, e.g., stationary motors with permanent connection to the fixed installation). CAT II is for measurements performed on circuits directly connected to the low-voltage installation (e.g., household appliances, portable tools).
• Puritia ō matihao ki muri i ngā ārai o te taputapu i te wā e ine ana.
