Safety Instructions - Craftsman 82312 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.
NEVERapplyvoltage or current to the meterthat exceedsthe specified
maximum:
Input Protection Limits
Function Maximum Input
V DC or V AC 600V AC and DC
mA AC/DC 200mA DC/AC
AAC/DC 10A DC/AC (for 30 seconds max.
every 15 minutes)
Resistance, Diode Test, 250V DC/AC
Continuity
2. USEEXTREMECAUTIONwhenworking with high voltages.
3. DONOT measurevoltageif the voltageon the "COM" inputjack exceeds
600V aboveearth ground.
4. NEVERconnectthe meterleads acrossa voltagesource while thefunction
switch is inthe current, resistance,or diode mode. Doingso can damage
the meter.
5. ALWAYS dischargefilter capacitors inpower suppliesanddisconnectthe
powerwhen makingresistanceor diode tests.
6. ALWAYS turn off power and disconnecttest leadsbeforeopeningthe
covers to replacethe fuse or battery.
7. NEVERoperatethe meter unlessthe back cover and the batteryandfuse
covers are in place andfastenedsecurely.
8. If the equipmentis used in a mannernot specifiedby the manufacturer,the
