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 around explosive gas, vapour, or
dust.
•
Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the
meter, between terminals or between any terminal and earth
ground.
•
Before use, verify the meter's operation by measuring a
known voltage.
•
When servicing the meter, use only specified replacement
parts.
•
Use with caution when working above 30V ac rms, 42V
peak, or 60V dc. 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 before you open the
battery door.
•
Do not operate the meter with the battery door or portions of
the cover 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.
