DANGER

●Never make measurement on a circuit in the following categories;

Measurement category Ⅳ(CAT.Ⅳ)

: over AC/DC600V

Measurement category Ⅲ(CAT.Ⅲ)or lower: over AC750V/DC1000V

● Do  not  make  measurement  when  thunder  is  rumbling.  Stop

measurement and take off the instrument from the object under test.

●Do  not  attempt  to  make  measurement  in  the  presence  of  flammable

gasses, fumes, vapor or dust.  Otherwise, the use of the instrument may
cause sparking, which can  lead to an explosion.  

●The transformer jaws are made of metal and their tips are not insulated.

Where  equipment  under  test  has  exposed  conductive  parts,  be
especially  careful  about  the  hazard  of  possible  shorting.    Not  following
this instruction may can danger to the user. 

●Never attempt to use the instrument if its surface or your hand is wet.  
●Do not exceed the maximum allowable input of any measurement range.
●Never open the battery compartment cover when making measurement
●Never  try  to  make  measurement  if  any  abnormal  conditions,  such  as

broken  Transformer jaws or case is noted.

●To  avoid  electrical  shock  by  touching  the  equipment  under  test  or  its

surroundings, be sure to wear insulated protective gear.

●The  instrument  is  to  be  used  only  in  its  intended  applications  or

conditions.  Otherwise,safety  functions  equipped  with  the  instrument
doesn

,

t work, and instrument damage or serious personal injury may be

caused.

WARNING

●Never  attempt  to  make  any  measurement,  if  the  instrument  has  any

structural abnormality such as cracked case and exposed metal part.  

●Do not turn the Function Selector switch with test leads connected to the

instrument.

●Do  not  install  substitute  parts  or  make  any  modification  to  the

instrument.    Return  the  instrument  to  your  distributor  for  repair  or  re-
calibration.

●Do not try to replace the batteries if the surface of the instrument is wet. 
● Always  switch  off  the  instrument  before  opening  the  battery

compartment cover for battery replacement.

●Always be sure to keep your fingers and hands behind the Safety barrier.

(see  ⑯ of 

4. Instrument Layout

)  Otherwise,  user  may  be  exposed  to

the danger of electrical shock.
