Question Compression Test Proceedure?

After searching here and elsewhere, I still have a few questions:
Do I have to something to prevent fuel from getting into the cylinders during the test?
My concern is possible ignition and blowing the compression gauge through the hood or elsewhere.

Pull the wiring loose from the injection pump. It won't inject fuel then.
