SAFETYOPERATIONMAINTENANCE SETUP
4. Power this Meter using only
the battery(ies) referenced in
the Specifications Chart.
5. 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.
6. Disconnect the circuit’s power
before connecting the Meter in
series, when measuring current.
7. Connect the common (COM) test
lead first and disconnect it last.
8. Hold the probes with fingers
behind guards.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. Keep children away. Children must
never be allowed in the work area.
12. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing,
use common sense. Do not operate
any meter when you are tired.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. Do not test voltage on circuits higher
than 250 volts AC or 20 volts DC.
16. Do not test current on
circuits higher than 5A.
17. Dress properly. Protective,
electrically nonconductive
clothes and nonskid footwear are
recommended when working.
18. Wear ANSI-approved safety
goggles during use.
19. Only use accessories intended
for use with this meter.
20. Avoid damaging meter. Use only
as specified in this manual.
21. Prior to testing, resistance, diodes,
or continuity; disconnect all power
to the circuit and discharge all
high-voltage capacitors.
22. Performance of this meter may vary
depending on battery condition.
23. Use the proper settings, terminals,
techniques, and range for the
tests performed. Start with the
range stated in the instructions.
24. Do not apply voltage to the Test
Leads when the Multimeter is in
the Ohms testing setting. Damage
can occur to the multimeter.
25. Do not switch between testing
modes with the multimeter
connected to a circuit.
26. Do not use the meter at a setting
marked as blank on the scale.
27. Have the multimeter calibrated by
a qualified technician every year
to maintain accurate results.
28. 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.
