Why do I have to firstly connect the low-voltage test lead of TOS series?

The user’s manuals of TOS series instructs that: ‘connect the low-voltage test lead first’.
This is because to form a current path even if TOS series generate an unintentional output due to a malfunction of TOS series or a wrong operation by users.
When removing the test lead, disconnect the high-voltage test lead first and then the low-voltage test lead.
