• • • • Never ground yourself when taking electrical measurements. Connect the black common lead to ground or neutral before applying the red test lead to voltage. Disconnect the red test lead from the voltage first. Always work with a partner. When using the probes, keep fingers as far behind the probe tips as possible.
