1. SAFETY INFORMATION
The circuit under test must be de-energized and isolated before
connections are made except for voltage measurement.
Verify operation prior to measuring hazardous voltages (voltage
above 30V AC rms, 42V AC peak and 60V DC).
Do not touch the Circuit connections during a test.
Disconnect the live test lead before disconnecting the neutral
test lead.
After insulation tests, to protect electric shock, capacitive circuits
must to be discharged.
Do not use the meter if the low battery indicator (
showed.
Test leads (including crocodile clips) must be in good order,
clean and no broken or cracked.
Do not use the meter if it looks damaged.
Do not use the meter around explosive gas, vapor or dust.
Do not push test button before all connection and preparation is
done. The instrument must only be used by suitably trained and
competent persons.
Do not use the meter with any parts or cover removed.
Do not use the meter in a wet environment.
