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:
