Safety Information
•Remove the test leads from the Meter before the battery door on the Meter base is opened.
•Examine the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed metal. Measure the test leads for continuity. Replace damaged test leads before you use the Meter.
•Do not apply more than the rated voltage, shown on the Meter, between the terminals or between a terminal and earth ground.
•Do not operate the Meter with the battery door removed or the case open.
•Be careful around voltages >30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or 60 V dc. These voltages pose a shock hazard.
•For current measurements, connect the Meter to the circuit after you remove circuit power. Always put the Meter in series with the circuit.
•Connect the common test lead before the live test lead and remove the live test lead before the common test lead.
•Do not use the Meter if it operates incorrectly. Protection can be compromised. If you are unsure, have the Meter examined.
•Do not use the Meter around explosive gas, vapor or in damp or wet environments.
•Use only the replacement fuse specified by the manual.
•Use the correct terminals, function, and range for measurements.
•Do not work alone.
