•
Be careful when working with voltages above 36V. When measuring a voltage higher
than 36V in DC and 25V in AC it is necessary to check that the measurement probes
are correctly connected and well insulated in order to avoid electric shock.
•
When using the measurement probes, take care to position your fingers beyond their
safety ring.
•
When using the device, ALWAYS avoid direct contact with the floor. NEVER touch
sockets, metal pipes or various equipment that may have ground potential. ALWAYS
keep your body isolated from the ground, using dry clothing, shoes and rubber mats or
any other certified insulating material.
•
When taking a measurement, connect the black (negative) test lead first and then the
red (positive) test lead. After measuring, remove the red test lead first.
•
Remove the test leads from the multimeter before removing the device's battery
compartment.
•
Do not use the multimeter with the battery compartment cover or parts of it removed or
damaged.
•
To avoid erroneous readings, electric shock, or personal injury, replace the batteries
when the “low battery” indicator appears
•
When one test lead is connected to a powered circuit, the electrical potential is also
transmitted to the other, therefore it is dangerous to touch the test leads.
•
Do not use the multimeter if it, the leads or the operator's hands are wet.
•
Remove electrical power from the circuit under test before cutting or breaking the circuit.
Even low electrical current flows could be dangerous.
•
Always move measuring probes away from the test point when changing the device's
operating mode and operating range.
•
Carefully choose the operating mode of the device and the operating interval, taking
care not to make mistakes. Even if the device has the protection function, always take
care to avoid harm to the operator.
•
Disconnect the power and discharge any capacitors before testing resistors, diodes,
capacitors.
