1. Read these operating instructions thoroughly and completely be-
fore operating your meter. Pay particular attention to WARNINGS
which will inform you of potentially dangerous procedures. The
instructions in these warnings must be followed.
2. Always inspect your meter, test leads and accessories for any sign
of damage or abnormality before every use. If any abnormal condi-
tions exist (eg-broken test leads, cracked cases, display not reading,
etc.), do not attempt to take any measurements.
3. Do not expose the instrument to direct sun light, extreme tempera-
ture or moisture.
4. Never ground yourself when taking electrical measurements. Do not
touch exposed metal pipes, outlets, fixtures, etc., which might be at
ground potential. Keep your body isolated from ground by using dry
clothing, rubber shoes, rubber mats, or any approved insulating ma-
terial.
5. To avoid electric shock use CAUTION when working with voltages
above 40 Vdc or 20 Vac. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.
6. Never exceed the maximum allowable input value of any function
when taking a measurement. Refer to the specifications for maxi-
muminputs.
7. Never touch exposed wiring, connections or any live circuit when
attempting to take measurements.
8. Do not attempt to operate this instrument in an explosive atmosphere
(i.e. in the presence of flammable gases or fumes, vapor or dust).
9. When testing for the presence of voltage, make sure the voltage
function is operating properly by reading a known voltage in that
function before assuming that a zero reading indicates a no-voltage
condition. Always test your meter before and after taking measure-
ments on a known live circuit.
10. Calibration and repair of any instrument should only be performed by
qualified and trained service technicians.
11. Do not attempt calibration or service unless trained and another per-
son capable of rendering first aid and resuscitation is present.
12. Remember: Think Safety, Act Safely.
