Safety Information
WARNING
Understand and follow operating instructions carefully. Use
the meter only as.
• If the equipment is used in a manner not specied by the
manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment
may be impaired.
• Always use proper terminals, switch position, and range for
measurements.
• To reduce the risk of re or electric shock, do not use this
product around explosive gas or in damp locations.
• Verify the Meter operation by measuring a known voltage.
If in doubt, have the Meter serviced.
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on
Meter, between terminals or between any terminal and
earth ground.
• To avoid false readings that can lead to electric shock and
injury, replace the battery as soon as low battery indicator
blinks.
• Avoid working alone so assistance can be rendered.
• Do not use the Tester if the Tester is not operating properly
or if it is wet.
• Individual protective device must be used if hazardous live
parts in the installation where the measurement is to be
carried out could be accessible.
• Disconnect the test leads from the test points before
changing the position of the function rotary switch.
• Never connect a source of voltage when the function rotary
switch is not in voltage position.
• When using test leads or probes, keep your ngers behind
the nger guards.
• Use caution with voltages above 30 Vac rms, 42 Vac peak,
or 60 Vdc. These voltages pose a shock hazard.
• Remove test lead from Meter before opening the battery
door or Meter case.
• DO NOT USE the test leads when the internal white
insulation layer is exposed.
• DO NOT USE the test leads above maximum ratings of
CAT. environment, voltage and current, that are indicated
on the probe and the probe tip guard cap.
• DO NOT USE the test leads without the probe tip guard
