Caution
Only use tools that are marked with the official international 1000-volt rating symbol shown above, if there is any chance that the tools will make contact with an energized source
Whenever possible, always de-energize lines and equipment prior to working on or around them Klein insulated tools are designed only to reduce the chance of injury where the tool may make contact with an energized source
Do NOT touch uninsulated portion of the tool or any conductive object when either MIGht contact an energized source
Wear approved eye protection Always inspect your tools before use Do not use if orange coating cracks, breaks or becomes damaged Destroy tool if white layer shows through orange layer
