• Examine the instrument and probes before use. Do not use the instrument if it is wet or damaged
• When using test leads or probes, keep your fingers behind the finger guards
• Remove the test lead from the instrument before opening the battery cover or instrument case
• Always use the correct terminals, switch position and range for measurements
• Never attempt a voltage measurement with the test leads inserted into the current input terminals
• Verify the instrument is operating correctly by measuring a known voltage before use. If in doubt, have the instrument serviced
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the instrument, between terminals or between any terminal and earth ground
• Do not attempt a current measurement when the open-circuit voltage is above the fuse protection rating
• Only replace a blown fuse with the correct type and rating as specified in this Instruction Manual
• Use caution when measuring voltages above 30V ac rms or 60V dc. These voltages pose a shock hazard
• To avoid incorrect readings that can lead to electric shock, replace the battery as soon as low battery indicator
• Disconnect the circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before making resistance, continuity, diode or capacitance measurements
• Do not use the instrument in a Hazardous Area or around explosive gasses or vapours
• Wear suitable Personal Protective Equipment when working around or near hazardous Live conductors which could be accessible
• When this instrument is powered from a Mains power source, the Protective Conductor Terminal must be connected to Ground
• Before powering this instrument from a mains power source, ensure the mains input voltage selector is set to the correct position
