Safety Instructions - Craftsman 82003 Owner's Manual

This meter has been designed for safe use, but must be operated
with caution. The rules listed below must be carefully followed for
safe operation.
1. NEVER apply voltage or current to the meter that exceeds the
specified maximum:
In3ut Limits
Function Maximum Input
V DC or V AC 1000VDC/AC rms
mA AC/DC 400mA AC/DC
AAC/DC 10A AC/DC (20A for 30 seconds
max every 15 minutes)
Resistance, Diode Test, 1000VDC/AC rms
Continuity, Capacitance,
Frequency, Temperature
2. USE EXTREME CAUTION when working with high voltages
3. DO NOT measure voltage if the voltage on the "COM" input
jack exceeds 1000V above earth ground
4. DO NOT measure current of circuits whose voltage is greater
than 600V above earth ground
5. NEVER connect the meter leads across a voltage source
while the function switch is in the resistance or diode mode.
Doing so can damage the meter
6. ALWAYS turn off the power and disconnect the test leads
before opening the cover to replace the fuse or battery
7. NEVER operate the meter unless the back cover is in place
and fastened securely
