6. Use caution when working near
voltages above 30 VAC rms,
42 VAC peak, or 60 VDC. Voltages this
high present a risk of electric shock.
7. Disconnect the circuit’s power
before connecting the Meter in
series, when measuring current.
8. Connect the common (COM) test
lead first and disconnect it last.
9. Hold the probes with fingers
behind guards.
10. Avoid electrical shock. Use extreme
caution when working near uninsulated
conductors or bus bars. Prevent body
contact with grounded surfaces such
as pipes, radiators, ranges, and cabinet
enclosures when testing voltages.
11. Observe work area conditions. Do
not test voltages in damp or wet
locations. Don’t expose to rain.
Keep work area clean and well lit.
12. Keep children away. Children must
never be allowed in the work area.
13. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing,
use common sense. Do not operate
any Meter when you are tired.
14. Do not operate Meter if under the
influence of alcohol or drugs. Read
warning labels on prescriptions to
determine if your judgment or reflexes
are impaired while taking drugs. If there
is any doubt, do not operate the Meter.
15. People with pacemakers should
consult their physician(s) before
use. Electromagnetic fields in close
proximity to heart pacemaker could
cause pacemaker interference
or pacemaker failure.
16. Do not test voltage on circuits
higher than 300 volts.
17. Do not test current on circuits
higher than 400A.
18. Dress properly. Protective,
electrically non-conductive
clothes and nonskid footwear are
recommended when working.
19. Wear ANSI-approved safety
goggles during use.
20. Only use accessories intended
for use with this Meter.
21. Avoid damaging Meter. Use only
as specified in this manual.
22. Prior to testing resistance, diodes,
or continuity; disconnect all power
to the circuit and discharge all
high-voltage capacitors.
23. Performance of this Meter may vary
depending on battery condition.
24. Use the proper settings, terminals,
techniques, and range for the
tests performed. Start with the
range stated in the instructions.
25. Do not apply voltage to the Test
Leads when the Meter is in the
Ohms testing setting. Damage
can occur to the Meter.
26. Do not switch between testing modes
with the Meter connected to a circuit.
27. Do not use the Meter at a setting
marked as blank on the scale.
28. Have the Meter calibrated by a
qualified technician every year
to maintain accurate results.
29. Do not disassemble Meter; take
it to a qualified technician when
service or repair is required.
30. The warnings, cautions, and
instructions discussed in this instruction
manual cannot cover all possible
conditions and situations that may
occur. It must be understood by the
operator that common sense and
caution are factors which cannot
be built into this product, but must
be supplied by the operator.
