Limit operation to the specified measurement category,
voltage, or amperage ratings.
Do not touch voltages >30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or
60 V dc.
Do not exceed the Measurement Category (CAT) rating of
the lowest rated individual component of a Product,
probe, or accessory.
Do not use the Product around explosive gas, vapor, or in
damp or wet environments.
Use only correct measurement category (CAT), voltage,
and amperage rated probes, test leads, and adapters for
the measurement.
Do not use the HOLD function to measure unknown
potentials. When HOLD is turned on, the display does not
change when a different potential is measured.
Do not work alone.
Do not apply more than the rated voltage, between the
terminals or between each terminal and earth ground.
Comply with local and national safety codes. Use personal
protective equipment (approved rubber gloves, face
protection, and flame-resistant clothes) to prevent shock
and arc blast injury where hazardous live conductors are
exposed.
Replace the batteries when the low battery indicator
shows to prevent incorrect measurements.
Keep fingers behind the finger guards on the probes.

Measure a known voltage first to make sure that the
Product operates correctly.
Connect the common test lead before the live test lead
and remove the live test lead before the common test
lead.
Remove all probes, test leads, and accessories that are
not necessary for the measurement.
Before each use, examine the Product. Look for cracks or
missing pieces of the clamp housing or output cable
insulation. Also look for loose or weakened components.
Carefully examine the insulation around the jaws.
Do not use test leads if they are damaged. Examine the
test leads for damaged insulation, exposed metal, or if the
wear indicator shows. Check test lead continuity.
Disconnect power and discharge all high-voltage
capacitors before you measure resistance, continuity,
capacitance, or a diode junction.
Hold the Product behind the tactile barrier. See The
Product Figure 1 ( ).
Do not use the Product if the wear indicator in the jaw
opening is not visible. See The Product Figure 2 ( ).
Do not operate the Product with covers removed or the
case open. Hazardous voltage exposure is possible.

5
Do not use in CAT III or CAT IV environments without the
protective cap installed on test probe. The protective cap
decreases the exposed probe metal to <4 mm. This
decreases the possibility of arc flash from short circuits.
For safe operation and maintenance of the product:
Remove batteries to prevent battery leakage and damage
to the Product if it is not used for an extended period.
Be sure that the battery polarity is correct to prevent
battery leakage.
Repair the Product before use if the battery leaks.
Have an approved technician repair the Product.
Remove the input signals before you clean the Product.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
International IEC 61326-1: Portable Electromagnetic
Environment; IEC 61326-2-2, CISPR 11:
Group 1, Class A
Group 1: Equipment has intentionally generated and/or
uses conductively-coupled radio frequency energy that is
necessary for the internal function of the equipment itself.
Class A: Equipment is suitable for use in all establishments
other than domestic and those directly connected to a
low-voltage power supply network that supplies buildings
used for domestic purposes. There may be potential
difficulties in ensuring electromagnetic compatibility in
other environments due to conducted and radiated
disturbances.
