To ensure that the meter is used safely, follow these instructions:
e Never use the meter if the meter or test leads look damaged.
Be sure the test leads and rotary switch are in the correct
position for the desired measurement.
* Never measure resistance in a circuit when power is applied.
e Never touch the probes to a voltage source when the test
leads are plugged into the 10 A or 300 mA input jack.
e To avoid damage or injury, never use the meter on circuits that
exceed 4800 volt-amps.
e Never apply more than the rated voltage between any input
jack and earth ground.
