DANGERS
Engines produce carbon monoxide which is odorless, causes slower reaction time, and can
lead to serious injury. When the engine is operating keep service areas well ventilated or
attach the vehicle exhaust system to the shop exhaust removal system.
Set the parking brake and block the wheels before testing or repairing the vehicle. It is
especially important to block the wheels on front-wheel drive vehicles; the parking brake does
not hold the drive wheels.
Wear an eye shield when testing or repairing vehicles.
Keep the meter away from spark plug and coil wires.
Exceeding the limits of this meter is dangerous. This will expose you to serious or possibly fatal
injury. Carefully read and understand the cautions and the specification limits of this meter.
Avoid electrical shock; do not touch the test leads, tips, or the circuit under test.
Do not try a voltage measurement with the test leads in the 20A or the mA terminal.
Choose the proper range and function for the measurement. Do not try voltage or current
measurements that may exceed the ratings marked on the Function/Range switch or terminal.
When measuring current, connect the meter in series with the load.
Never connect more than one set of test leads to the meter.
Disconnect the live test lead before disconnecting the common test lead.
The mA and the 20A terminals are protected by fuses. To avoid possible injury or damage, use
only in circuits limited to 400mA.
