Warning
To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury, follow these guidelines:
• Do not use the meter if it is damaged. Before you use the meter, inspect the case.
Pay particular attention to the insulation surrounding the connectors.
• Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed metal. Check the test leads
for continuity. Replace damaged test leads before you use the meter.
• Do not use the meter if it operates abnormally. Protection may be impaired. When
in doubt, have the meter serviced.
• Do not operate the meter where explosive gas, vapor, or dust is present. Don't use
it under wet condition
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the meter, between
terminals or between any terminal and earth ground.
• Before use, verifythe meter's operation by measuring a known voltage.
• When servicing the meter, use only specified replacement parts.
• Use caution when working with voltage above 30V ac rms, 42V peak, or 60Vdc. Such
voltages pose a shock hazard.
• When using the probes, keep your fingers behind the finger guards on the probes.
• Connect the common test lead before you connect the live test lead. When you
disconnect test leads, disconnect the live test lead first.
• Remove the test leads from the meter and remove the clamp jaws from the
conductor under test before opening the case or the battery cover.
• Do not operate the meter with the battery cover or portions of the case removed or
loosened.
• To avoid false readings, which could lead to possible electric shock or personal
injury, replace the batteries as soon as the low battery indicator ( ) appears.
• To avoid electric shock, do not touch any naked conductor with hand or skin.
• Do not hold the meter anywhere beyond the tactile barrier.
• Adhere to local and national safety codes. Individual protective equipment must
be used to prevent shock and arc blast injury where hazardous live conductors are
exposed.
