Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed
metal. Check test lead continuity. Damaged leads must be
replaced. Do not use the meter if it appears damaged.
Use care when working above 30V ac rms, 42V ac peak and
60V dc. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.
When using the probes, keep fingers away from probe
contacts. Keep fingers behind the finger guards on the
probes.
Measurements can be adversely affected by impedances of
additional operating circuits connected in parallel or by
transient currents.
Verify operation prior to measuring hazardous voltages
(voltages above 30V ac rms, 42V ac peak and 60V dc).
Do not use the meter with any of the parts removed.
Do not use the meter near explosive gas, vapor, or dust.
Do not use the meter in a wet environment.
