Read First: Safety Information
Understand and follow operating instructions carefully. Use the meter, test leads and all accessories
only as specified in this manual; otherwise, the protection provided by the meter can be impaired.
WARNING
To avoid possible electric shock, personal injury or death, follow these guidelines:
• Do not use if meter appears damaged. Visually inspect the meter to ensure case and jaws are not
cracked.
• Inspect and replace test leads if insulation is damaged, metal is exposed, or probes are cracked.
Pay particular attention to the insulation surrounding the connectors.
• Always ensure the meter, test leads and all accessories meet or exceed the measurement category
required in the working environment. (i.e. CAT rating)
• Note that the measurement category and voltage rating of combinations of the meter, the test leads,
and the accessories is the lowest of the individual components.
• Do not use meter if it operates abnormally as protection maybe impaired.
• Do not use during electrical storms or in wet weather.
• Do not use around explosive gas, dust, vapor, amperage or in damp or wet environments.
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage to the meter.
• Remove the test leads from the input jacks before measuring current.
• Replace battery as soon as battery indicator
• Remove the test leads from the meter prior to removing battery cover.
• Do not use without the battery and battery cover properly installed.
• Do not attempt to repair this unit as it has no user-serviceable parts.
• Use the proper terminals, functions and range for your measurements.
• Never ground yourself when taking electrical measurements.
• Connect the black common lead to ground or neutral before applying the red test lead to potential
voltage. Disconnect the red test lead from the voltage first.
• When using the probes, keep fingers behind the guard rings of the probe tips.
• Voltages exceeding 30VAC or 60VDC pose a shock hazard so use caution.
CAUTION
To protect yourself, think "Safety First":
• Comply with local and national safety codes.
• Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as face shields, insulating gloves, insulating
boots, and/or insulating mats.
• Before each use:
- Perform a continuity test by touching the test leads together to verify the functionality of the
battery and test leads.
- Use the 3 Point Safety Method. (1) Verify meter operation by measuring a known voltage. (2) Apply
meter to circuit under test. (3) Return to the known live voltage again to ensure proper operation.
• Always work with a partner.
