Do not use the tester if it is damaged. Before you use the
tester, inspect the case. Look for cracks or missing plastic.
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 tester.
Do not use the tester if it operates abnormally. Protection
may be impaired. When in doubt, have the tester serviced.
Do not operate the tester around explosive gas, vapor, or
dust.
Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the
tester, between terminals or between any terminal and earth
ground.
Before use, verify the tester's operation by measuring a
known voltage.
When servicing the tester, use only specified replacement
parts.
If the auto-on light does not come on when the test leads are
shorted together, do not use the tester.
Use caution when working above 30 V ac rms, 42 V peak, or
60 V 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.
Do not operate the tester with the battery door or portions of
the cover removed or loosened.
Before each use, perform the Battery Test to avoid false
readings due to a low battery. Replace the batteries as soon
as the tester fails the Battery Test.
