Safety Warnings and precautions
read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
1� Electrical shock can cause death
or injury! NEVER TOUCH exposed
conductors of electricity�
2�
test cable voltages with care.
One use one hand when securing
the clamp around cable�
3� Inspect the Meter before use� In
addition to a general inspection,
look specifically for:
a� Pay special attention to the
insulation protecting the connectors�
b� Check the leads for exposed metal,
damaged insulation, and continuity�
c� Replace damaged test lead
immediately, before use�
4� Do not use the Meter if:
a� Either of the test leads are
damaged in any way�
b� Test leads are dirty or
have residue on them�
c� The battery is low�
d� Near any explosive
gasses or fumes�
e� Any abnormal operation is
detected�
(If in doubt about the
condition of the Meter, have
it serviced before use�)
f� The battery cover is open�
5� Power this Meter using only
the battery(ies) referenced in
the Specifications Chart�
6� 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�
7� Disconnect the circuit’s power
before connecting the Meter in
series, when measuring current�
8� Connect the common (COM) test
lead first and disconnect it last�
9� Hold the probes with fingers
behind guards�
10� 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�
11� 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�
12� Keep children away� Children must
never be allowed in the work area�
13� Stay alert� Watch what you are doing,
use common sense� Do not operate
any Meter when you are tired�
