IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Please read this manual thoroughly before use and store in a safe place for future reference
WARNING
WARNINGS:
• Voltage between any terminal and ground must not exceed 600V DC or 600V AC.
• Use caution when measuring voltage above 25V DC or 25V AC.
• Circuit tested must be protected by a 20A fuse or circuit breaker.
• Do not use the meter if it has been damaged.
• Do not use the test leads if the insulation is damaged or if metal is exposed.
• Avoid electrical shock: do not touch the test leads, tips or the circuit being tested.
• Do not try a voltage measurement with the test leads in the 20A or the mA terminal.
• When testing for the presence of voltage or current, make sure the meter is functioning
correctly. Take a reading of a known voltage or current before accepting a zero reading.
• Choose the proper range and function for the measurement. Do not try voltage or current
measurements that may exceed the ratings marked on the Function/Range switch or terminal.
• When measuring current, connect the meter in series with the load.
• Never connect more than one set of test leads to the meter.
• Disconnect the live test lead before disconnecting the common test lead.
• The mA and the 20A terminals are protected by fuses. To avoid possible injury or damage, use only in
circuits limited to 400mA or 20A for 30 seconds.
• To maintain accuracy of the meter, replace the discharged battery immediately when the battery
symbol "BAT" appears on the meter display.
• Avoid measuring error from outside interference. Keep the meter away from spark plug or coil wires.
• Avoid damaging the meter when testing voltage. Disconnect the test leads from the test points before
changing functions.
• Do not exceed the limits shown in the table below:
