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 60 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 ("
•
CAT II – Measurement Category II is for measurements performed on circuits
directly connected to low voltage installation. (Examples are measurements on
household appliances, portable tools and similar equipment.) Do not use the meter
for measurements within Measurement Categories III and IV.
