RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
Warning
To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury,
and to avoid possible damage to the Meter or to
the equipment under test, adhere to the following
rules:
• Never measure current while the test leads are inserted
into the input terminals.
• Before using the meter inspect the case (or part of
the case) is removed. Look for cracks or missing plastic.
Pay attention to the insulation around the connectors.
• Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or
exposed metal. Check the test leads for continuity.
Replace damaged test leads with identical model
number or electrical specifications before using the
meter.
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked
on the meter, between the terminals or between any
terminal and grounding.
• The rotary switch should be placed in the right position
and no any changeover of range shall be made during
measurement is conducted to prevent damage of the
meter.
• When the meter working at an effective voltage over
60 V in DC or 30 V rms in AC, special care should be
taken for there is danger of electric shock.
• Use the proper terminals, function, and range for your
measurements.
