Use and Care Manual

• Use caution when working with voltages above
42V ACrms, or 60V DC. 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.
