Read all safety information before you use the Product.
Carefully read all instructions.
Do not alter the Product and use only as specified, or the protection supplied
by the Product can be compromised.
Remove the batteries if the Product is not used for an extended period of
time, or if stored in temperatures above 50 °C. If the batteries are not
removed, battery leakage can damage the Product.
The battery door must be closed and locked before you operate the
Product.
Replace the batteries when the low battery indicator shows to prevent
incorrect measurements.
Comply with local and national safety codes. Use personal protective
equipment (approved rubber gloves, face protection, and flame-resistant
clothes) to prevent shock and arc blast injury where hazardous live
conductors are exposed.
Do not apply more than the rated voltage, between the terminals or
between each terminal and earth ground.
Do not work alone.
Limit operation to the specified measurement category, voltage, or
amperage ratings.
Use Product-approved measurement category (CAT), voltage, and
amperage rated accessories (probes, test leads, and adapters) for all
measurements.
Measure a known voltage first to make sure that the Product operates
correctly.
Use the correct terminals, function, and range for measurements.
Do not touch voltages >30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or 60 V dc.
Do not use the Product around explosive gas, vapor, or in damp or wet
environments.
Do not use the Product if it operates incorrectly.
Examine the case before you use the Product. Look for cracks or missing
plastic. Carefully look at the insulation around the terminals.
Do not use test leads if they are damaged. Examine the test leads for
damaged insulation, exposed metal, or if the wear indicator shows. Check
test lead continuity.
Keep fingers behind the finger guards on the probes.
Only use probes, test leads, and accessories that have the same
measurement category, voltage, and amperage ratings as the Product.
