age to the equipment being tested. Save these
instructions - This operator's manual contains
important safety and operating instructions for
the MILWAUKEE Fork Meters. Before using, read
this operator's manual and all labels on the Fork
Meters.
Never make measurement on a
DANGER
circuit in which volatage over
AC1000C exists. Use only leads rated 1000V or
better.
Do not attempt to make measurement in the pres-
ence of flammable gases. 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.
Only test on unenergized circuits unless abso-
lutely necessary.
Check tool functionality on a known circuit first.
Never assume tool is working. Assume circuits
are live until they can be proven de-energized.
Do not ground yourself while measuring. Avoid
body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigera-
tors.
Never open the Battery cover during a measure-
ment.
This instrument is to be used only in its intended
applications or conditions. Otherwise, the instru-
ment's safety functions may not work, resulting in
serious personal injury and instrument damage.
To reduce the risk of injury from shock and arc
blasts, always wear personal protective equip-
ment where live conductors are exposed.
Never attempt to make measure-
WARNING
ment if any abnormal conditions,
such as broken case and exposed metal parts
are found on the instrument.
Do not rotate the Rotary Dial while the test leads
are being connected.
Verify proper operation on a known source before
use or taking action as a result of the indication
of the instrument.
Do not install substitute parts or make any modi-
fication to the instrument. For repair or re-cali-
bration, return the tool to a factory Service/Sales
Support Branch or authorized service station.
Do not try to replace the batteries if the surface
of the instrument is wet.
Disconnect all the cords and cables from the
object under test and power off the instrument
before opening the Battery Cover for Battery
replacement.
This tool is designed to be powered by 2-AA
batteries properly inserted into the MILWAUKEE
Fork Meters. Do not attempt to use with any other
voltage or power supply.
Install battery according to polarity (+ and –)
diagrams.
Do not leave batteries within the reach of children.
Do not mix new and used batteries. Do not mix
brands (or types within brands) of batteries.
Properly dispose of used batteries.
Do not incinerate or dismantle batteries.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery, avoid contact. If contact ac-
cidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irrita-
tion or burns.
Set the Dial to an appropriate posi-
CAUTION
tion before starting measurement.
Firmly insert the test leads.
Disconnect the test leads from the instrument for
current measurement.
Do not expose the instrument to the direct sun,
high temperature and humidity or dewfall.
Altitude 2000m or less. Appropriate operating
temperature is within -10ºC and 50ºC.
Keep away from excess dust and water.
Be sure to power off the instrument after use.
When the instrument will not be in use for a
