SAFETY INFORMATION
The following safety information must be observed to ensure maximum personal safety during
the operation of 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 in 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.
