WARNING
Do not measure voltages above 1000V
in Category III installations.
•
•
WARNING
Do not measure voltage when the
function switch points to the resistance (ohms),
current, capacitance or temperature settings. Never
measure current when the switch points to the
resistance (ohms), capacitance or temperature
settings.
• Use caution when working with voltages above
42VAC
RMS
, or 60VDC. These voltages pose a shock
hazard.
• Use the proper terminals, function, and range for all
measurements.
•
•
WARNING
Do not operate the meter around
explosive gas, vapor, or dust.
•
•
WARNING
When using the probes, keep your
fingers behind the finger guards. Do not touch the
metal probes of the test leads when making a
measurement.
• When making connections, connect the black (–)
test lead before connecting the red (+) test lead;
when disconnecting, disconnect the red (+) test
lead before disconnecting the black (–) test lead.
• Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-
voltage capacitors before measuring/testing
resistance, continuity, diodes, or capacitance.
• For all DC functions in both auto and manual
ranging mode, to avoid the risk of shock due to
possible improper reading verify the presence of
any AC voltages by first using the AC function. Then
select a DC voltage range equal to or greater than
the AC range.
• Before measuring current, turn off power to the
circuit before connecting the meter.
• Do not operate the meter with the case (or part of
the case) removed.
