To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury, follow
these guidelines:
Before and after measuring hazardous voltages ( 30 V
ac rms, 42 V peak, or 60 V dc), verify the meter's proper
operation by measuring a known voltage.
Do not use the meter if it is damaged. Before you use
the meter, inspect the case. Look for cracks or missing
plastic. Pay particular attention to the insulation
surrounding the connectors.
Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or
exposed metal. Check the test leads for continuity.
Replace damaged test leads before you use the meter.
If this product is used in a manner not specified by the
manufacturer, the protection provided by the
equipment may be impaired.
Do not use the meter if it operates abnormally.
Protection may be impaired. When in doubt, have the
meter serviced.
Do not operate the meter around explosive gas, vapor,
or dust.
Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked
on the meter, between terminals or between any
terminal and earth ground.
Before use, verify the meter's operation by measuring
a known voltage.
When measuring current, turn off circuit power before
connecting the meter in the circuit. Remember to place
the meter in series with the circuit.
When servicing the meter, use only specified
replacement parts.
Use caution when working above 30 V ac rms, 42 V
peak, or 60 V dc. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.
Avoid working alone.
When using the probes, keep your fingers behind the
finger guards on the probes.
