XWWarning
To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury, follow these guidelines:
• Use the Meter only as specified in this manual or the protection provided by the Meter might be impaired.
• Do not use the Meter or test leads if they appear damaged, or if the Meter is not operating properly. If in doubt, have the
Meter serviced.
• Always use the proper terminal, switch position, and range for measurements before connecting Meter to circuit under test.
• Verify the Meter’s operation by measuring a known voltage.
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage as marked on the Meter, between the terminals or between any terminal and earth ground.
• Use caution with voltages above 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or 60 V dc. These voltages pose a shock hazard.
• Replace the battery as soon as the low battery indicator (b) appears.
• Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing resistance, continuity, diodes, or capacitance.
• Do not use the Meter around explosive gas or vapor.
• When using the test leads, keep your fingers behind the finger guards.
• Remove test leads from the Meter before opening the Meter case or battery door. Never operate the Meter with the cover removed or
the battery door open.
• Comply with local and national safety requirements when working in hazardous locations.
• Use proper protective equipment, as required by local or national authorities when working in hazardous areas.
• Avoid working alone.
• Use only the replacement fuse specified or the protection may be impaired.
• Check the test leads for continuity before use. Do not use if the readings are high or noisy.
