DANGER
Never make measurements under the circumstances exceeding the
designed measurement category and the rated voltage of the
instrument.
Do not attempt to make measurement in the presence of flammable
gasses. Otherwise, the use of the instrument may cause sparking,
which can lead to an explosion.
Never attempt to use the instrument if its surface or your hand is wet.
Do not exceed the maximum allowable input of any measuring
range.
Never open the Battery compartment cover during a measurement.
To avoid electrical shock by touching the equipment under test or its
surroundings, be sure to wear insulated protective gear.
Test leads to be used for voltage measurements shall be rated as
appropriate for Measurement Category III or IV according to IEC
61010-031 and shall have a voltage rating of 1000V or higher.
Barriers on the test leads provide protection to keep your fingers and
hands from touching an object under test. Keep your fingers and
hands behind the barriers during measurement.
WARNING
Never attempt to make measurement if any abnormal conditions,
such as broken case and exposed metal parts are found on the
instrument or test leads.
Verify proper operation on a known source before use or take action
as a result of the indication of the instrument.
Firmly attach the caps to the test leads when performing
measurements in CAT III or higher test environments. When
KEW1020R and the test leads are combined and used together,
whichever is lower category & voltage to earth either of them
belong to is applied.
Do not rotate the Function Switch if the instrument and the
equipment under test are connected.
Do not install substitute parts or make any modification to the
instrument. For repair or re-calibration, return the instrument to your
local KYORITSU distributor.
Use of this instrument is limited to domestic, commercial and light
industry applications. Strong electromagnetic interference or strong
magnetic fields, generated by large currents, may cause malfunction
of the instrument.
Firmly insert the test leads.
Do not pull or twist the test leads to prevent the risk of damage.
Power off the instrument after use. Remove the battery if the
instrument is to be stored and will not be in use for a long period.
Do not expose the instrument to direct sunlight, high temperature
and humidity or dewfall.
Use a cloth dipped in water or neutral detergent for cleaning the
instrument. Do not use abrasives or solvents.
NOTE
The LCD shows some digits at the Voltage range even while the test
leads are open. And, it may show some digits instead of 0 even if the
test leads are shorted. However, these phenomena don’t affect
measurement results.
A resistance measurement takes time to settle the reading if there is

WARNING
Replace the battery when the " " mark- low battery voltage
warning- appears on the LCD.
Otherwise, precise measurement cannot be made. If the battery
is completely exhausted, the LCD goes blank without showing
the " " mark.
Disconnect the test leads from the object under test and power
off the instrument before opening the Battery compartment
cover for battery replacement.
Do not try to replace the battery if the surface of the instrument
is wet.
CAUTION
Do not mix old and new batteries. Brand and type of the
batteries to be used should be harmonized.
Install a batteries in correct polarity as indicated in the
Battery Compartment.
(1) Set the Function Switch to "OFF" position.
(2) Untighten the screw on the back of the instrument.
(3) Remove the Battery compartment cover and replace the
batterie.
(4) Attach the cover to the instrument and then secure the cover
by tightening the screw.
