2. Informazzjoni dwar is-Sigurtà

To ensure safe operation and service of the meter, follow these safety precautions:

• Dejjem żomm mal-kodiċijiet tas-sigurtà lokali u nazzjonali.
• Tużax il-miter jekk jidher li hu bil-ħsara jew jekk l-insulazzjoni fuq il-wajers tat-test tkun kompromessa.
• Qatt ma tapplika aktar mill-vol nominalitage, as marked on the meter, between terminals or between any terminal and ground.
• Uża kawtela kbira meta taħdem bil-voltages above 60V DC or 30V AC RMS. These voltages joħolqu periklu ta' xokk.
