•
DO NOT apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on
the meter, between terminals or between any terminal and
earth ground.
•
Use caution when working above 30V AC rms, 42 V peak, or
60 V DC. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.
•
To avoid false readings that could lead to possible electric
shock or personal injury, replace the batteries as soon as the
low battery indicator
•
Always inspect the multimeter, test leads and any other
accessories for damage prior to every use. If any damage is
found, do not use tester until repairs are done.

Always consider electrical and electronic equipment to be ener-
gized (live). Never assume any equipment is de-energized.
•
Never ground yourself when taking electrical measurements.
Isolate yourself from ground by using dry rubber insulating
mats to cover all exposed/grounded metal. Stand on rubber
mats and wear dry clothing.
•
Never take resistance measurements on energized (live)
electrical or electronic equipment.
•
Use one hand, instead of two, whenever possible to take
measurements. If two hands must be used, use extreme cau-
tion not to contact any energized conductors with your hands.
Be certain test leads are dry and clean.
•
Do not hold the instrument when taking measurements. Place
the instrument on a clean, insulating surface prior to taking
any measurement.
