SAFETY INFORMATION
The following safety information must be observed to insure maximum personal safety during the operation
at this meter:
•
Do not use the meter if the meter or test leads look damaged, or if you suspect that the meter is not
operating properly.
•
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 material.
•
Turn off power to the circuit under test before cutting, unsoldering, or breaking the circuit. Small
amounts of current can be dangerous.
•
Use caution when working above 60V dc or 30V ac rms. such voltages pose a shock hazard.
•
When using the probes, keep your fingers behind the finger guards on the probes.
•
Measuring voltage which exceeds the limits of the multimeter may damage the meter and expose the
operator to a shock hazard. Always recognize the meter voltage limits as stated on the front of the
meter.
•
Never apply voltage or current to the meter that exceeds the specified maximum:
SAFETY SYMBOLS
This symbol adjacent to another symbol, terminal or operating device indicates that
the operator must refer to an explanation in the Operating Instructions to avoid
personal injury or damage to the meter.
This
WARNING
symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which if not
avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
This
CAUTION
symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which if not
avoided, may result damage to the product.
This symbol advises the user that the terminal(s) so marked must not be connected
to a circuit point at which the voltage with respect to earth ground exceeds (in this
case) 1000 VAC or VDC.
This symbol adjacent to one or more terminals identifies them as being associated
with ranges that may, in normal use, be subjected to particularly hazardous voltages.
For maximum safety, the meter and its test leads should not be handled when these
terminals are energized.
