This operator’s manual contains important safety and operating
instructions for the milWaukee
Digital Multimeter. Before using, read this operator’s
manual and all labels on the Digital Multimeter.
danger
Never make measurement on a circuit in which voltage over 600 volts AC/DC rms exists. Use
only leads rated CAT III 600V or better.
Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the Digital Multimeter, between ter
-
minals or between any terminal and earth ground.
Do not attempt a current measurement when the open voltage is above the fuse protection
rating. Suspected open circuit voltage can be checked with voltage function.
Do not attempt to make measurement in the presence of flammable gases. Otherwise, the use
of the instrument may cause sparking, which can lead to an explosion.
Never attempt to use the instrument if its surface or your hand is wet.
Do not exceed the maximum allowable input of any measuring range.
Only test on unenergized circuits unless absolutely necessary.
Check meter functionality on a known circuit first. Never assume meter is working. Assume
circuits are live until they can be proven de-energized.
Never open the battery cover during a measurement.
Do not ground yourself while measuring. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur
-
faces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
This instrument is to be used only in its intended applications or conditions. Otherwise, the
instrument's safety functions may not work, resulting in serious personal injury and instru
-
ment damage.
To reduce the risk of injury from shock and arc blasts, always wear personal protective
equipment where live conductors are exposed.
Warning
Never attempt to make measurement if any abnormal conditions, such as broken case and
exposed metal parts are found on the instrument.
Comply with local and national safety requirements when working in hazardous locations.
Keep fingers behind the guards and away from test lead tips during measurements.
Do not rotate the rotary dial while the test leads are being connected.
Never attempt a voltage measurement with the test lead inserted into the A input terminal.
Verify proper operation on a known source before use or taking action as a result of the in
-
dication of the instrument.
Do not install substitute parts, replace fuse or make any modification to the instrument. For
repair or re-calibration, return the tool to a factory Service/Sales Support Branch or authorized
service station.
Do not try to replace the batteries if the surface of the instrument is wet.
Disconnect all the cords and cables from the object under test and power off the instrument
before opening the battery cover for battery replacement.
This tool is designed to be powered by 2-AA batteries properly inserted into the
milWaukee
Digital Multimeter. Do not attempt to use with any other voltage or power supply.
