Is there any danger of a short if I accidentally touch any other lead on the G2 pot or the body of it?

Thanks
Sorry about the pin mix up
You could slip & put 800-900 V where it doesnt belong so
use a clip lead to play it safe. Slip happens when working in
dark, awkward conditions. When doing it for a living you just
measure away for the sake of speed but you can relax &
take your time. Less mistakes that way.
BTW when working on its side the purity will usualy be bad,
just ignore it.
