• When using test leads or probes, keep your fingers behind the finger guards.
• Remove test lead from Meter before opening the battery door or meter case.
• Use the Meter only as specified in this manual or the protection by the Meter might be
impaired.
• Always use proper terminals, switch position, and range for measurements.
• Verify the Meter’s operation by measuring a known voltage. If in doubt, have the Meter
serviced.
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on Meter, between terminals or
between any terminal and earth ground.
• Only replace the blown fuse with the proper rating as specified in this manual.
• Use caution with voltages above 30 Vac rms, 42 Vac peak, or 60 Vdc. These voltages pose
a shock hazard.
• To avoid false readings that can lead to electric shock and injury, replace battery as soon
as low battery indicator.
• Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors
before testing resistance, continuity, diodes, or capacitance.
• Do not use Meter around explosive gas or vapor.
